They crossed the Mánes Bridge, U Lužického semináře Street, Mostecká Street to Tržiště Street, where the United States Embassy is located. Police officers had to stop traffic on an ongoing basis, but otherwise the protest went without complications.

In front of the embassy building, police officers had barricades ready and coordinated passing cars. Protesters again chanted anti-abortion slogans such as “women’s rights, human rights”, “my body, my rights” or “trash patriarchy” and began to disperse about ten minutes, an hour after the event began.
