Supreme Court rule protested

About 150 mostly young women turned out on April 18 for a demonstration
called on three hours’ notice by NY-Naral ProChoice America. They were
protesting the landmark misogynist Supreme Court decision upholding the ban on
second trimester abortions. Sue Davis, a long-time reproductive rights
activist, rallied the crowd to take to the streets to defend women’s
right to legal, safe, accessible abortion. “We won Roe v. Wade in 1973
when women all over the country marched to legalize abortion,” she said.
“That’s what we have to do again—only in even greater
numbers—to finally secure reproductive rights for all women.”
