This Teen Made An Abortion Rights Facebook Event And Now Thousands Of People Are Attending
Sydney teenager Bella Ziade created a Facebook event to march for reproductive rights two weeks ago when her timeline was"blowing up" with news that conservative lawmakers across the United States were purging abortion services from their states.
"In New South Wales the laws around abortion are already restricted enough and there are so many blurred lines so it could easily become our reality here that [our rights] are taken away at the hands of these men who think they know best." "There was a lot of teen angst going on and I said 'it is no good just complaining about it, we all have voices'," she said."I'm lucky because in my year group there are only 100 of us and we are all like sisters... my school is Catholic but I've never encountered anyone who is not pro-choice."
"I didn't really have a target market, it was just people in my year across NSW, but now it is also much older people, like adults," she said."Even my English teachers are coming."
