About 100 people rallied for reproductive rights in downtown Doylestown Tuesday evening in response to a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision that seemingly will overturn Roe V. Wade.

While Governor Tom Wolf responded by stating “Abortion is and will remain legal in Pennsylvania,” those safeguards are in jeopardy with the upcoming election in November.

Here are some images from yesterday’s rally:
