“Thousands of protesters marched at rallies in Washington and in cities across the country Saturday, decrying Texas’s recent ban on most abortions and warning that the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority could impose further restrictions in the coming months,” reports the Washington Post. “Amassing in downtown D.C. before walking in a clamorous procession to the Supreme Court, a roster of speakers spoke of a looming threat to Roe v. Wade and implored Americans to enlist in a nationwide campaign to preserve women’s abortion rights.”
“By 1 p.m., the crowd had swelled to the thousands as people spilled into the streets on either side of Freedom Plaza, clustering in pockets in the shade, their eyes on the stage. ‘Not only is abortion health care, but at my organization we also believe it’s self-care,’ Marsha Johns, executive director of the Ayiha Center, a Texas-based abortion rights organization, told the crowd. ‘You can no longer tell us what to do with our bodies.’ At that, the protesters erupted in cheers, many hoisting homemade signs and chanting, ‘Abortion is healthcare!’ The day of demonstrations, organized by the Women’s March, was the first that the group has hosted since former president Donald Trump left office. It was Trump’s 2016 election that inspired the first Women’s March, which drew millions of protesters to Washington and around the country and is widely considered the largest single-day protest in the country’s history, inspiring people to become first-time protesters, activists and politicians.”
Many Americans are growing sick and tired of self-righteous MAGA idiots who insist that wearing a mask to prevent the spread of Covid is “like the Holocaust”, but that expecting a woman to completely change her life plan, drop out of college or reduce her hours at work, and spend the rest of her life raising a child she hadn’t planned on and wasn’t prepared to care for is no big deal.
