Next peaceful protest will focus on reproductive rights
SENIOR PEACE CLUB
The Senior Peace Club’s next peaceful protest will be held in front of the Leisure World Globe on Wednesday, Nov. 24, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. The focus will be reproductive rights in light of recent laws enacted in Texas and other states with the intent to get rid of Roe v. Wade.
Even though the club believes chances are good that the Supreme Court will overturn Texas’ abortion ban, many people are concerned it is another sign that Roe v. Wade will be overturned in the not-so-distant future, taking the country back to the days when the only options for most women with unwanted pregnancies were back-alley abortions or self-induced ones, resulting in thousands of women dying or being horribly injured every year.
The Senior Peace Club believes women can only be independent and free agents when they have the right to control their own bodies. Women struggled long and hard for that freedom and will not give it up without another long, hard fight.
Signs will be available at the demonstration, but people are encouraged to make and bring their own appropriate signs. Everyone who is concerned about this issue is welcome to participate.
