Organizers focused on states after the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe in June unleashed abortion restrictions and near-total bans in more than a dozen states.
"Can we truly be free if families cannot make intimate decisions about the course of their own lives?" Harris said. "And can we truly be free if so-called leaders claim to be ... `on the vanguard of freedom' while they dare to restrict the rights of the American people and attack the very foundations of freedom?"
They said they plan to vote in the April Supreme Court election. Wheeler also said she hoped to volunteer as a poll worker and canvass for Democrats, despite identifying as an independent voter. Abortions are unavailable in Wisconsin due to legal uncertainties faced by abortion clinics over whether an 1849 law banning the procedure is in effect. The law, which prohibits abortion except to save the patient's life, is being challenged in court.
The march also drew counter-protestors. Most held signs raising religious objections to abortion rights. "I don't really want to get involved with politics. I'm more interested in what the law of God says," John Goeke, a Wisconsin resident, said. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, with the support of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, filed the challenge to the 1849 ban in June in Dane County, where Madison is located, arguing that it is too old to enforce. Both sides have been trading briefs since and it's unclear when a ruling may come, but the case looks destined for the state Supreme Court.
Wow lots want legal murder
But what or who is a woman?
That's a lot of effort to kill babies. Sick fucking human beings.
A whole pile of angry, sexually frustrated, nagging & screeching women all in one place? Seems like a hoot 🙄
Friday's March For Life drew tens of thousands, but I couldn't find a CTV tweet about that. Lots about Jeremy Renner, and Jacinda Ardern, though!
It's not a women's issue, it's a birthing person's issue.
Pro life March is bigger. But you don’t cover that.
