Hundreds of demonstrators turned out at South Park on Saturday to show their support for reproductive rights. The rally was planned as fears about the fate of reproductive rights have intensified across the nation in recent weeks.

With the recently leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court opinion showing justices are likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, rights to reproductive choice in Kansas will hinge on a state vote this August.
