Thousands Of Pro Abortion Activists March In Washington D.C.


Thousands of pro-abortion activists took to the streets in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

Many of the supporters were carrying signs supporting abortion, while others displayed signs that supported Harris.

Some Christians attended the event but were quickly mocked by the activists.

Take a look:

Per The Guardian:

Thousands of women rallied Saturday in the nation’s capital and elsewhere in support of abortion rights and other feminist causes ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Demonstrators carried posters and signs through city streets, chanting slogans such as: “We won’t go back!” Some men joined with them. Speakers urged people to vote in the election – not only for president but also on down-ballot issues such as abortion-rights amendments that are going before voters in various states.

At the Women’s March in Washington, feminist activist Fanny Gomez-Lugo read off a list of states with abortion ballot measures before leading the crowd in a chant of: “Abortion is freedom!”

In Kansas City, Missouri, rally organizers urged people to sign up to knock on doors in a get-out-the-vote push for an abortion-rights measure.

Abortion rights has passed inflation as the top issue in the presidential election for women under age 30 since Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee against Donald Trump, according to a survey of female voters by KFF.

Per The Washington Post:

In speeches, signs and chants, thousands of women gathered in Washington on Saturday to drive home one message days before the election: “We won’t go back.”

They were part of demonstrations hosted by the Women’s March in the nation’s capital and across the country as a final push to support Vice President Kamala Harris and, they said, to remind undecided voters about the stakes of the election.

Before marching toward the White House, speakers and attendees who filled D.C.’s Freedom Plaza discussed the importance of organizing, touching on a range of issues from gun violence to the war in Gaza.

“This Election Day isn’t just about politics. It’s about survival,” said speaker Aalayah Eastmond, a 2019 graduate of Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where a gunman killed 17 students and staff in 2018. “Our lives literally depend on what happens at the ballot box.”
