Oct. 2 demonstration will support women’s reproductive rights
SENIOR PEACE CLUB
On Saturday, Oct. 2, the Senior Peace Club will join hundreds of organizations across the nation in support of women’s rights to control their own bodies.
In October, the Supreme Court will hold hearings on an abortion rights case from Mississippi, which many fear may mark the end of Roe v. Wade. In anticipation of that hearing, women will take to the streets again to register their opposition to the repeal of Roe v. Wade and to protest the multitude of anti-choice legislation being promulgated all over the country.
There will be two events on Saturday in proximity to Seal Beach. At 10 a.m., the “Defend our Reproductive Rights, Long Beach” event will gather at the Downtown Long Beach Superior Courthouse, 275 Magnolia Blvd. At the same time, there will be a gathering at Founders Square in Mile Square Park at the corner of Euclid and Edinger in Fountain Valley. Anyone interested is invited to participate in these events.
For those who would prefer a virtual event, Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties will be doing “Save Roe: Raise Your Voice for Freedom of Choice.” For information and a link to the virtual event, go to https://www.plannedparenthood.org/plannedparenthood- orange-san-bernardino/about-us/pposbc-pulse-newsletter/ save-roe-raise-your-voice-for-freedom-of-choice. Katie Porter will be a speaker at this event.
