The Party of Socialism and Liberation San Diego organized a reproductive rights rally and march on the 4th of July, protesting rather than celebrating.
As the nation celebrates the 4th of July and prepares for fire works and more festivities, tonight. Here in San Diego hundreds of abortion rights supporters protested instead of celebrating. KPBS News Reporter M.G. Perez has our story.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation organized the rally and marched through Balboa Park. The event gave people a place to voice their anger at the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe V. Wade. “Abortion rights, the attack on trans rights, police brutality and endless war, the root cause of all that is capitalism,” she said.Abortion rights supporters display signs protesting the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Monday, in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, July 4, 2022.
Judy Harrington of Kensington remembers a time before abortion health care was legalized in 1973. She told KPBS News, “It was a battle. It was marches in Washington. It was on the streets. It was constant. It was sitting in with legislators and here we are again 50 years later doing the same damn thing. It’s ridiculous.”
