Protest at the Utah Capitol in response to the leaked draft opinion that suggest the Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade #utpol #utleg
Hundreds of people are at the Capitol building, some carrying signs emblazoned with messages like “Mind your own uterus” and “I will not go silently back to the 1970s”
Back in October, the same site played host to a similar rally: independent.co.uk/news/abortion-…
“I’m a little nervous because I didn’t become a doctor to fight,” ObGyn Misha Pangasa said. “[B]ut it has become exhausting watching the patients I care for being marginalized and stigmatized and shamed by politics and medicine, the structures that were meant to protect them.”
Utah is one of the states that could restrict abortion should the 1973 landmark decision be overturned by the #SupremeCourt
With the main @ppacutah rally wrapped up, organizers with @pslsaltlake have taken the protest to the streets
#utpol #utleg #roevwade #bansoffourbodies
Effusively chanting “My body, my choice!” the crowd makes its way down Salt Lake’s Main St.
Seems like the mass is inching toward the LDS temple #utpol #utleg
Officially temple-adjacent
With chants of “2, 4, 6, 8, separate church and state,” the march” has made its way past the temple and the federal courthouse
Next stop: the Salt Lake City and County Bldg.
#utleg #utpol
March has ended with no incident to report
