Pro-choice demonstration in Warrensburg, Missouri – May 6, 2022 (May 6, 2022)
Most passing traffic signaled their support by honking their car horns. A few anti-choice individuals shouted what appeared to be unintelligible talking points which were usually meet with sharp retorts.
This was a much younger crowd and mostly female. They are awake and motivated. It would be a big mistake to ignore or discount their activism.
They were fearless. And fierce.
“Pro Roe”
Law enforcement, across the street:
Cliché. An anti-choice counter-protester, across the street:
“When will the fight end? This is healthcare. This is a right to privacy.”
“Women are not your incubator to regulate”
Fearless:
“My body, my choice”
“Keep my uterus out your effing mouth”
“Pro-choice saves”
“Keep abortion safe and legal”
“Their body, their choice”
