17 US lawmakers arrested at abortion protest

U.S. lawmakers who protested on Capitol Hill are arrested and released by the Capitol Police.

At least 16 members of Congress were arrested by the Capitol Police for blocking traffic outside the Supreme Court during an abortion rights demonstration. The group then sat down on First Street NE outside the court, blocking the road, which prompted the arrests. One of the arrested lawmakers said a lot of people are being arrested here but they’re serious and they’re not going to go back. This is the greatest take away of rights for women in this country in the history.
