Abortion rights supporters packed The Beacham nightclub in downtown Orlando Monday night for a rally followed by a march to protest the Supreme Court's Friday decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling legalizing abortion. The rally was led by Democratic state Rep. Anna Eskamani, who urged outraged supporters to channel their shock and anger into electing representatives in the August midterm elections who will protect Florida's abortion access and to give to abortion funds to help offset travel expenses for women who need abortions now. After the rally, the crowd headed toward Orlando's city hall, where joined by thousands more — Orlando Police Department estimated 4,000 — they took to the streets, chanting "Keep abortion legal!
