Women’s marches demanding the protection of abortion rights drew thousands of people to the streets across the country on Sunday.

“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?”

“This is my daughter. I want to make sure she has the right to choose whether she wants to have a child,” Wheeler said. 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.

In the absence of Roe v. Wade's federal protections, abortion rights have become a state-by-state patchwork.
