Abortion rights supporters are holding rallies across the U.S. to oppose a recent wave of abortion bans in Midwestern and Southern states.
None of the laws has taken effect, and all will likely be blocked while legal challenges play out. Ban supporters hope one or more of the measures might reach the Supreme Court and possibly trigger reversal of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Some protesters carried purple signs that declared, “Abortion is a human right.” Among their chants: “No church/No state/Women must decide their fate.” “I got complacent for a little while. I think a lot of people did,” she said. “Right now we need to really get up in their faces and show that we are ready to fight to keep our rights.”Chants of “Vote them out!” and “My body, my right!” blared through a loudspeaker as passing drivers honked their horns in support. One woman carried a coat hanger with a sign that read, “Not going back.”
In St. Louis, several hundred protesters gathered in a park between the Gateway Arch and the historic courthouse where the Dred Scott case decision that deemed black slaves as property, not citizens, was heard.
