Today at noon, in high humidity and a temperature in the high 80s, close to three hundred individuals gathered in front of the federal courthouse in Jefferson City, Missouri to rally in support of reproductive rights.
The street in front of the courthouse was blocked off for the rally. Several speakers addressed the crowd.
There have been a number of similar demonstrations scheduled across Missouri over the past few days.
“You can only ban safe abortions”
“My body, my choice”
“…for safe and legal abortion”
“…Keep your politics out of my uterus”
“I’m 14…”
“We won’t go back!”
“Im a woman, not a womb”
“…More regulated than guns”
“Keep your rosaries off my ovaries”
“Abort the patriarchy”
“Motherhood should be a choice, not a punishment”
“Keep your theology off my biology”
“You will never have the comfort of my silence”
“Keep your laws off my daughters”
“If it’s not your body it’s not your decision”
“My rights don’t end where your beliefs begin”
Nailed it.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty…”
“Reasons women get abortions…”
“…Because you get none”
“Bans off my body” “…The elephant in the womb”
