Hundreds of abortion rights supporters gather outside Phoenix, Arizona, days after the southwestern state's conservative Supreme Court rolled back reproductive rights to the Civil War era, saying an 1864 ban on abortion was valid.
"Folks are mad as hell" about the court's decision, says Chris Love, a spokesperson for the Arizona for Abortion Access campaign, the rally's organizer.

00:00In Arizona, we are now, sadly, under an 1864 law, a law that was inexistent when Abraham
00:14Lincoln was the president, when women didn't have a right to vote, when women couldn't
00:18own property.
00:19So this right here is the mobilization of folks who are sick and tired of the MAGA Republicans
00:24telling women what they should do.
00:26Oh my shirt, I've got a bumper sticker too, I'm putting it on.
00:48I think it's important for the nation to see that Arizonans will fight like hell to restore
00:54and protect our right to abortion.
01:13I do think we have to stand together against the government when they try to make decisions
01:17that affect us all.
01:19There's definitely a lot of bigger problems in the world than deciding on women's bodies.
01:25Woo!
01:27Woo!
01:28Woo!
01:29Woo!
01:30Woo!
