"It’s a time in American history that unfortunately a lot of things are not the same as they were before," said Kyle Marquis of San Jose. #AbortionRights
"The protections that people thought they had aren’t here anymore, so it’s a way to show those who maybe aren’t as aware of what’s going on that this is a problem. I think that’s why a lot of us are out here today.”
