COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Como for Choice held a "Summer of Rage" protest Saturday evening at the Boone County Courthouse to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

A group of Columbia residents gathered in response to the Supreme Court's decision earlier this summer which led to Missouri becoming the first state to ban abortions post-Roe.

Speakers included local politician Chimene Schwach and Lyra Noce with the Boone County Democratic Party.

Organizers called on attendees to donate to Midwest Access Coalition and the Missouri Abortion Fund.
