Law enforcement used flashbangs and tear gas to disperse the crowd as hundreds of people protesting for abortion rights gathered at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix on Friday night after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the nearly 50-year nationwide right to an abortion.

Although local reports described demonstrations as being peaceful throughout the day, the situation got tense late when demonstrators began to bang on the windows and doors of the Senate building, trying to break the glass, according to 3TV/CBS 5. An unlawful assembly was declared by law enforcement, and measures were taken to scatter the crowd.

“Troopers deployed gas outside the Senate building after protesters attempted to break the glass. The crowd then moved to the Wesley Bolin Plaza where some monuments were vandalized. Gas was deployed again to disperse the crowd," the Department of Public Safety said in a statement.

Ten people were arrested in Oregon on Friday following pro-abortion protests that clashed with a police barricade.

The Eugene Police Department became aware of a demonstration outside Dove Medical Center, a free pregnancy diagnosis clinic, at 10 p.m. and set to block the building "due to the potential for property damage," according to police. About 75 protesters arrived in hoods and masks, with several wearing gas masks and throwing smoke bombs at police, who had established a barrier around the building.

Police warned the crowd that protesters were committing disorderly conduct before arresting 10 people between the ages of 18-29. Nine people were charged with disorderly conduct, with one getting charged with harassment and another charged with resisting arrest and third-degree escape. As protesters were arrested, the crowd decreased, ending the dispute after roughly five hours.

Officers reported minor injuries at the scene. The Springfield Police Department and Department of Homeland Security also got involved to help clear the crowd.
