Two people were arrested Saturday afternoon for destruction of property, after allegedly throwing paint over a fence near the Supreme Court, U.S. Capitol Police announced.

Demonstrators gathered in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C., to protest following the decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.

Capitol Police added that due to the weather, 12 people were treated for heat issues and that “local partners worked together to bring in cooling buses & additional people to help demonstrators with heat issues.“

Abortion has become illegal in eight states, home to more than 31 million Americans, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed the medical procedure as a constitutional right.

Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Utah had trigger laws that went into effect following the ruling.

Providers have stopped performing abortions in Arizona, Wisconsin and West Virginia while legal analysis is pending. Abortions are not being performed in a total of at least 11 states.

All state abortion bans currently in effect provide an exception when the life of the mother is at risk.<

Only Utah allows exceptions for cases of rape, incest or a lethal fetal deformity.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday Americans can now access Canada's health care system for abortions and that will continue, according to the Associated Press.

Trudeau called the court's decision "horrific" and voiced concern that the ruling could someday allow a rollback of legal protections for gay relationships, including the right for same-sex couples to marry, according to the AP.

"Women for generations have fought for more rights in the United States, (only) to see this setback, to worry as well about how this can be expanded to more rights be taken away in the United States," he said at a press conference in Rwanda, according to the AP.

Trudeau didn't answer when asked if his government is planning to offer help for American women seeking an abortion in Canada, according to the AP.

The White House on Saturday continued to criticize the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling reporters the Supreme Court’s ruling is “out of step” with what a majority of Americans want.

“We are going to see some nightmare scenarios, sadly, because of this decision,” Jean-Pierre said on Air Force One on the way to the G7 summit in Germany.

Jean-Pierre touted the steps announced by the administration yesterday to protect access to federally approved medication like contraception and medication abortion and to ensure women can travel across state lines for reproductive health care.

But it's ultimately up to Congress to fully restore Roe, she said.

“If that can’t happen, the American public has to use their voice," Jean-Pierre said. "In light of this decision, they have to use their voice at the ballot box."

Not on the table, she said, is court expansion: “That is something that the President does not agree with.”

Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra announced Tuesday the agency is taking steps to expand access to abortion after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.

"Friday’s Supreme Court decision was despicable. But it was not unpredictable,” he said at a press conference.

He continued, “There is no magic bullet. But if there is something we can do, we will find it and we will do it at HHS.”

As part of the "action plan," Becerra said the agency will increase access to medication abortion, with federal law already requiring programs to provide medication abortion in certain cases like rape, incest and when woman's life in is danger.

He said he's also directing the HHS civil rights office to ensure patient privacy and non-discrimination for those seeking reproductive care and for providers.

In addition, Becerra said he is directing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to make sure family planning care, including contraceptives, are covered.
