The “ Clown March Boston ” went on in an effort to “upstage” the “ Men’s March ” which seeks to abolish abortions. Protesters were seen in the Boston Common where multiple arrests were made, according to WCVB. Barricades were set up around Parkman Bandstand on the Common by the time protesters had arrived.

The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood is expected to end in a rally at the Parkman Bandstand, the Boston Globe reported.
