A few hundred demonstrators gathered outside a Boston Planned Parenthood Saturday morning for the annual National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood. As the crowd of around 200–mostly men— began their nearly three-mile-long march to Boston Common, a crowd of counter protesters dressed in clown costumes marched alongside them, yelling, playing instruments, and using other noise makers to drown out the march.
Dozens of Boston police officers escorted the marchers along Commonwealth Avenue to their rally in Boston Common. There were a few tense back-and-forth interactions between counterprotesters and the marchers. Last year’s Men’s March ended in clashes between counterprotesters and hundreds of police in riot gear, resulting in nine arrests. This year’s march dispersed at Boston Common on Saturday around 3:00 p.m. with no reported arrests.
