“These people want to pass laws that enforce Christian beliefs,” said one counter-protestor. “They want to control women’s bodies. You have to push back.”
Pro- and anti-abortion rights activists faced off Saturday across a narrow divider at a “Men’s March for Life” rally outside the state capitol building.
“Drown ’em out,” shouted one brightly dressed woman into a swelling crowd of counter protestors separated from most of the marchers by a police-erected buffer zone of about 10 feet. While one speaker declared abortion an issue “men need to stand up for” and claimed pregnant people are being lied to about abortion options, counter protestors chanted about the separation of church and state and against “extremist Catholics.”
