[ muted ] the supreme court. >> they were just a few of the many stars who spoke out on behalf of all women's rights last night >> it wasn't just the stars speaking out protests continue across the country on the heels of the supreme court's unprecedented decision to overturn roe v. wade in arizona abortion rights demonstrators outside of the state's capital were met with tear gas from police who say it was deployed after a door was broken and monuments were allegedly vandalized but other rallygoers say they were not warned, including a mother and her 8-year-old daughter whose eyes were burning and stinging from the gas. and activists in favor of the decision were also out in force, joyfully celebrating in austin, texas opponents of

abortion rights held signs calling themselves a post-roe generation nbc's jesse kirsch spoke with people on both sides of the issue. >> reporter: demands for abortion rights still echoing across the u.s thousands protested throughout the country after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, revoking the constitutionally guaranteed right to an abortion. >> i cannot imagine the effects mentally on somebody having to be forced to carry their abuser's child to full term. i just -- it's disgusting. >> reporter: others applauding the decision hike this washington, d.c. crowd >> we are the post-roe generation >> reporter: not all demonstrations remained peaceful in rhode island friday democrat jennifer rourke was allegedly attacked at an abortion rights rally by a state senate race gop opponent who has since dropped out of the race. apparent video of the incident going viral. state police say the suspect, an off-duty cop, has been arrested

summit they hit two residential buildings. one person died and several others were wounded. ukrainian officials saying these strikes are a direct message to the leaders of the summit. nbc's matt bradley joins us from garmisch, germany. matt, good morning with know president zelenskyy is set to speak there with g7 leaders this morning but what are they saying about these strikes? >> reporter: well, phillip, these strikes happened 24 hours ago. this was yesterday so we've heard for the last day from various leaders, specifically joe biden called them another example of russia's barbarism. now, they also i should say, in addition to what you described, they also struck a kindergarten and injured a 7-year-old girl. that image of that injured 7-year-old girl was spread by foreign minister of ukraine dmitri kuleba on twitter and has been a rallying call and is an example of how no place in kyiv is safe. you mention how the g7 leaders have been describing how this was a direct message to them, to where we are now the ukrainian invasion by russia

has really overshadowed this talking shop that normally would be discussing all the major concerns of the leaders of the world's wealthiest democracies now they're all talking about vladimir putin and moscow and another sort of attendant problem that's going along with the global punishment of the kremlin, and that is rising prices throughout the world. so now as you mentioned we've seen more examples of russia striking areas far from what they and intelligence officials from throughout the world have considered to be the main focus of the russian invasion now, and that's in the eastern donbas region striking the capital again for the first time in three weeks demonstrates that the russians really do see everywhere in ukraine as fair game and now we've just heard, just in the last couple of hours, confirmation that the u.s. will be providing surface to airamissiles produced by norway to the ukrainians. all of the these weapons ry are still en route, many of them, to

the eastern part of ukraine to join the fight, they could represent a turning point in this conflict. particularly since as we've heard from foreign intelligence and british intelligence russia's manpower is being severely depleted. they might not have the people to maintain what has turned into a long and grueling war of attrition. guys >> that's the very latest from matt bradley in germany for us matt, thank you. celebrations and protests took place across the country in the last weekend of pride month. new york city's annual pride parade rang throughout the streets with planned parenthood kickstarting the march following the supreme court's overturning of roe v. wade attendees pushed for abortion and lgbtq plus rights after justice thomas's opinion that the court should also reconsider the 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage. san francisco's pride parade returned with thousands of attendees including house speaker nancy pelosi and in st. louis pride fest was in full swing to support the

in overturning 50 years of precedent friday conservative justices arguing "the right to an abortion is not deeply rooted in the nation's history and tradition. justice clarence thomas goes further in a concurring opinion writing "the court must revisit and overrule past landmark decisions on civil rights, including legalized contraception, same-sex intimacy, and gay marriage." effectively saying the same logic in overturning roe should be applied to those protections. >> the court says that its opinion doesn't undermine those decisions. but the doctrinal test that it adopts absolutely calls those decisions into question. >> reporter: other conservative justices like brett kavanaugh says friday's ruling on roe does not reverse precedent on other issues kavanaugh also swore during his 2018 confirmation hearing that he believed roe was settled precedent. >> roe v. wade is an important precedent of the supreme court >> reporter: some senators who voted to confirm him like republican susan collins now saying she feels misled by the

judge. democrat joe manchin echoing that in a statement, saying "i trusted the judges when they testified under oath that they also believed roe was settled precedent. >> nobody who is relying on an existing right to privacy like a right to same-sex marriage can rest easy. all of the majority said in its roe ruling was look, we're not calling this into question today, but what it implied was mm, come talk to us tomorrow >> reporter: but as scholars seek to make sense of it all, lawmakers looking for larger remedies like changing senate rules to legislate around reproductive protections as well as reforming the way presidents are elected. in an op-ed saturday two democratic senators suggesting even fixing the outdated electoral college that allowed presidential candidates who lost the popular vote to take office and nominate three of the five justices who voted to overturn roe, a reference to donald trump's lose king the popular ve in 2016. >> our thanks to ali vitali for that report. still to come on "early today" lord of the wings, one
