Thousands of people showed up at 660 simultaneous demonstrations held in opposition to Texas' restrictive anti-abortion law.
Thousands of people rallied across the country on Saturday, marching in protest of the obscenely restrictive anti-abortion law that recently went into effect in Texas as well as the rising tide against reproductive rights in the United States.The 660 simultaneous demonstrations constituted one of the largest nationwide Women’s Marches on record, according to Women’s March executive director Rachel O’Leary Carmona—second only to the first Women’s March organized in opposition to then-Pres.
One of the other major demonstrations in Washington D.C. saw thousands march right up to the building that houses the Supreme Court. Just last month, the justices denied a request to block the enforcement of Texas’ so-called “heartbeat” law, which not only bans abortion after six weeks, a time before which most women would even know that they’re pregnant, but incentivizes Texas to sue anyone they suspect of providing an abortion with a reward of at least $10,000.
