Dozens of people paraded downtown, beginning at the courthouse and past the Farmer's Market.
Onlookers said the protest was very peaceful.
Nationwide, abortion rights organizers have sprung into action over the last several weeks after a leaked draft opinion indicating Supreme Court justices will overturn the landmark ruling Roe v. Wade.
Nearly 17,000 people gathered at the nation's capital for the "Bans Off Our Bodies" rally and march.
Protesters called for legal protections for any woman seeking an abortion.
Supreme Court justices are expected to vote in late June or early July.
