(Radio Iowa) – Crowds gathered in many cities over the past three days to protest the end of nationwide abortion rights. Kathleen Murrin, who attended a protest in Des Moines, says she’s heartbroken and furious.  “I had an ectopic pregnancy as my first pregnancy. That would be considered an abortion today. That just makes no sense to me. And I would not have a choice in that,” she said. “It’s my health care, my body. My doctor and I are the ones that did make that decision and should still be able to make that decision.”

Hundreds of protesters rallied in front of the governor’s mansion on Friday night. Lexi McKee Hemmingway spoke at a rally in Sioux City. She leads an abortion rights group in South Dakota, where abortion was banned immediately after the Supreme Court’s ruling. She says their mission has now changed. “It’s going to be getting people across state lines to receive the necessary, accessible health care, because abortion is health care,” she said.

An abortion rights protester near the courthouse in Cedar Rapids was injured Friday night when a pick-up drove through the pedestrian cross walk. Other protesters took photos of the license plate. Cedar Rapids police have interviewed the driver.
