The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood on Saturday started with protesters praying outside of Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Avenue before marching to Boston Common. Men’s March participants were met with pro-choice counter protesters along Boston University’s campus. The two groups walked down Comm. Ave. separated by police officers wearing riot gear.
