Representative Cori Bush has been detained by Capitol police, along with other progressive members of Congress, during a nonviolent protest in front of the Supreme Court advocating for federal abortion protection.
In a tweet, Bush said, "I introduced legislation yesterday and today to protect reproductive freedom. Today my colleagues and I put our bodies on the line—because we will leave no stone unturned in our fight for justice."
Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley were reportedly also part of the group of congress members arrested for civil disobedience.
