Two years after the Deadly and Dreadful Dobbs Decision (6/24/22), abortion bans are rampant. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) upended almost 50 years of precedent with this terrible decision. Since then, fourteen states, primarily in the Midwest and South, have banned nearly all abortions. Three other states have 6 week bans (which stop abortions when the pregnancy has been there less than a month, and most women don’t know they are pregnant). North Carolina did a 12 week ban which includes more onerous policy that makes it much more difficult to get abortions in many ways.
We are taking this opportunity to talk about what the abortion bans are doing to women and girls forced to give birth, women and girls who have miscarriages where the bans interfere with care, doctors and staff forced to not do their jobs properly, and more. Come protest the mangling of our rights, bring signs and fury to the Legislative Building in Raleigh!
Join us on Monday, Jun 24, at 3pm on the SE corner of the Legislative Building for speeches and picketing.
