   Multiple Democratic lawmakers were arrested at an abortion rights rally   
   outside the Capitol on Tuesday, less than one month after the Supreme   
   Court issued a ruling that reversed Roe v. Wade.   
      
   Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Jackie   
   Speier (Calif.), Bonnie Watson Coleman (N.J.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Cori   
   Bush (Mo.), Katherine Clark (Mass.), Andy Levin (Mich.), Alexandria   
   Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Alma Adams (N.C.), Veronica Escobar (Texas) and   
   Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.) were among those apprehended at the demonstration.   
      
   At 1:20 p.m., the U.S. Capitol Police wrote on Twitter that it began   
   arresting activists blocking First Street NE. Authorities said they gave   
   their traditional three warnings before taking protesters into custody.   
      
   As of 1:35 p.m. the demonstration was clear, according to Capitol Police,   
   which reported that 17 lawmakers were arrested in total. Authorities   
   arrested 34 people overall for crowding, obstructing or incommoding.   
      
   The demonstration came more than three weeks after the Supreme Court   
   overturned Roe, the 1973 decision that protected access to abortion. The   
   ruling angered Democrats nationwide and prompted House Democrats to pass a   
   pair of bills protecting access to abortion; those measures face little   
   chance of clearing the 50-50 Senate.   
      
   Maloney in a statement on Tuesday said “There is no democracy if women do   
   not have control over their own bodies and decisions about their own   
   health, including reproductive care.”   
      
   “??The Republican Party and the right-wing extremists behind this decision   
   are not pro-life, but pro-controlling the bodies of women, girls, and any   
   person who can become pregnant. Their ultimate goal is to institute a   
   national ban on abortion. We will not let them win. We will be back,” she   
   added.   
      
   In a statement on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Pressley said the   
   congresswoman participated in a protest against the “cruel and callous   
   decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and strip away abortion rights for   
   everyone who calls America home.”   
      
   Grassroots advocates were also present at the demonstration, according to   
   Pressley’s spokesperson.   
      
   Speier wrote on Twitter that she was “Proud” to march with her Democratic   
   colleagues “and get arrested for women’s rights, abortion rights, the   
   rights for people to control their own bodies and the future of our   
   democracy!”   
      
   Escobar tweeted that she was taken into custody in front of the Supreme   
   Court, adding that she was “proudly standing in defense of abortion access   
   and reproductive freedom.”   
      
   She also posted a video of her and other House Democrats marching outside   
   the Capitol chanting “we won’t go back.”   
      
   Clark, the assistant Speaker of the House, in a statement said “The   
   extremist Republican Party is determined to take us back in time and take   
   away our rights. I refuse to stand on the sidelines as their rampage   
   continues.”   
      
   “They can arrest me, but we won’t allow them to arrest freedom,” she   
   added.   
      
   Levin wrote on Twitter Tuesday “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to   
   protect abortion rights—even if it means getting arrested.”   
      
   “I joined my Democratic Women’s Caucus colleagues in a civil disobedience   
   action outside the Supreme Court. We won’t go back!” he added.   
      
   Tuesday’s demonstration was not the first time lawmakers have been   
   arrested at protests following the Roe decision. Last month, Rep. Judy Chu   
   (D-Calif.) was taken into custody at a pro-abortion rights rally on   
   Capitol grounds.
