closing up shop here for the night. but as for the first couple of hours, we saw that initial protest from those who are opposed to abortion rights, who were elated, and celebrating, and happy. and after a few hours, they left. the streets were filled with hundreds and thousands of people who were the ones that were hoping that maybe we would see a compromise. they were maybe hoping that it away, we re expecting to see this decision come down, it s not what they got today. we saw tears of joy and despair. we had very emotional heavy conversations. and we will hear some of those conversations, stephanie. a lot of things have been going through my mind, anger, deep sadness, and a desire to turn this around the. this is going through my mind. it s a rollercoaster emotion! it s completely utter joy that roe is overturned. women are going to die between now and when we get legislation passed, which is untenable. we heard a lot of concern around that last statement yo ....

The way for abortion bans in 13 states. at least six states have already put them into effect. and there are concerns about what this may mean for court decisions on contraception, and gay rights. justice clarence thomas says those should be up for review as well. we ve got a lot to cover tonight, but i want to begin with my friend and colleague, morrow barrick, our nbc news reporter. she s on the ground, at the supreme court, all day long. morrow, you have been among the protesters for hours. what are they telling you? and what s their goal? stephanie, for nearly 12 hours, we saw this area ahead of the supreme court, completely filled, the start of the day with a tension between two groups of protesters, representing both sides of the arguments around abortion rights. and then, it grew to fill this entire street that i m standing in front of, nearly more than 1000 people, i would say, here at one point. you see everyone kind of ....
