This morning in Jefferson City several hundred individuals showed up at the capitol building (in rainy weather) to protest the radical anti-choice policies and legislation of the republican controlled Missouri General Assembly and Governor Mike Parson (r) and his administration. The rally portion was scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. on the south lawn, but rainy weather moved that portion of the event indoors under the dome.

“We aren’t ovary-acting”

Individuals with their signs started showing up under the dome after going through security shortly after 8:30 a.m.

“I am not your incubator”

The rally and subsequent march to the Governor’s Mansion was initiated by one grassroots individual via social media. The idea snowballed and a permit to demonstrate on the capitol grounds was secured.

“Queen of my own uterus, thank you very much”

The rally under the dome allowed time for individuals to gather, chant, and speak out before the short march to the Governor’s Mansion.

“Keep your rosaries off my ovaries”

“My body, my choice”

“My uterus has more regulations than your gun”

“If you cut off my reproductive choices can I cut off yours?”

“We will not go back”

“Keep your bans off my body”

Speaking.

“Never again”

“If I wanted government in my womb I’d fuck a senator”

“Choice is freedom”

“She had a heartbeat, too”

Handmaid.
