US Police Arrest 181 Pro-abortion Protesters in Washington

The US police announced the arrest of 181 people protesting in central Washington against the abolition of constitutional guarantees of women's right to abortion, according to Russia Today, a Russian news channel.

Abortion advocates blocked the street in the district of the Supreme Court, which a week ago allowed states to self-regulate abortion-related cases, amounting to a blanket ban on such practices.

The Capitol Police, which is responsible for the security of the Supreme Court and US Congress (the Capitol),  wrote on Twitter: "We have arrested 181 people because they  block the intersection of Constitution Street, Northeast, and First Street, Northwest."

The conservative-dominated Supreme Court struck down constitutional guarantees of the right to terminate a pregnancy and allowed US states to regulate the practice themselves.

And half of the 50 states plan to ban or significantly restrict abortion in their territory.
