Thousands of people cheer as they gather for the annual anti-abortion "March for Life" protest in Washington, DC. This year’s march comes less than two months after the conservative-leaning US Supreme Court refused to block a Texas law that bans most abortions after six weeks, but left the door open for abortion providers to challenge the law in lower courts.

Tens of thousands of people protest in the streets of Georgian capital Tbilisi against a "foreign influence" bill likened to Russian laws silencing dissent. Demonstrators partially block car traffic on Heroes' Square, home to a monument honoring Georgian soldiers that died at war. The Black Sea Caucasus nation has been gripped by mass anti-government protests since April 9, after the ruling Georgian Dream party reintroduced the bill that critics see as repressive. IMAGES
