(WXYZ) — Dozens of abortion rights advocacy groups and their supporters will march around the country Tuesday, including metro Detroit.

More than 50 organizations across the country are leading #StopTheBans marches.

According to the website, protesters will be marching "to stop the extreme abortion bans sweeping the country." A number of recent anti-abortion laws have been passed in at least eight states, including in Alabama, where the governor just signed the nation's most restrictive bill.
