Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the Planned Parenthood on Commonwealth Avenue Saturday afternoon for the annual Men’s March against abortion. The march was quickly met with dozens of counterprotesters, many dressed as clowns and played instruments to drown out the march. As the men marched down Commonwealth Ave toward the Boston Common, dozens of police in riot gear stood shoulder to shoulder in a circle around them blocking any press or protesters from entering. Counterprotesters clashed with police multiple times resulting in at least nine arrests.
