People in Oklahoma reacted to the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
In Oklahoma City, hundreds of pro-abortion rights supporters turned out for an ‘Engage the Rage’ event at the state Capitol. There was also a demonstration near Bricktown.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered as speakers stood on the steps of the Capitol. There were candidates for office in the upcoming election, as well as community leaders.
Some of those in attendance told KOCO 5 they were there to show lawmakers they were not going to just let it happen.
"The Supreme Court of the United States simply said, ‘you know what states, you decide what’s best for you and your populations,’ and our lawmakers decided to put in a trigger law that limits access to some pretty important health care for women," said Malinda Perez, a demonstrator at the Capitol.
In addition to the protest, some said they would continue the demonstration in the coming weeks.
