Abortion Rights Freedom Ride 2013 report
|
After kick-off rallies in New York and San Francisco, caravans traveled from both coasts, rallying and gathering support along the way. They were in Fargo, North Dakota before August 1 when new laws could have shut down the last abortion clinic in the state. They rallied in Wichita, Kansas where those who courageously re-opened the clinic of Dr. George Tiller - after his assassination by an anti-abortion gunman - are facing serious, escalating threats. On to Jackson, Mississippi where a temporary court injunction is the only thing keeping the last remaining clinic in the state open. All along the way (and making stops in between), they have been taking on this nationwide reactionary assault on women’s rights, erecting visual displays that tell the truth about abortion and birth control, collecting and amplifying women's abortion stories in order to break the silence, defending the clinics and providers most under attack, and meeting with people to build lasting organization to DEFEAT this whole war on women.
