Radical anti-abortion activists are taking to the streets Saturday in a national day of protest against the availability of abortion medication at pharmacies across the country. Abortion rights groups have condemned the group’s actions, while some reproductive rights activists have dismissed them as ridiculous. “New Yorkers will be out to watch the clown show.”Last month, the Food and Drug Administration relaxed its rules, allowing pharmacies to dispense mifepristone, the first of two pills required for a medication abortion. Since the fall of Roe, some Republicans and anti-abortion activists have set their sights on eradicating access to abortion medication. Last month, the FBI offered a $25,000 reward for information about three arson attacks against anti-abortion groups and centers in Oregon.

Toronto police said the incident occurred on Jan. 24, at around 3:30 p.m., in the area of Danforth and Jones avenues.
