Thousands expected at abortion rights rallies in California and across U.S.
Joining demonstrators across the country, women’s rights activists gathered in downtown Los Angeles and elsewhere around the state Saturday as the U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe vs. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion nationwide.
“Some people seem to think it’s a snap for moms like to have an abortion,” Wangler said “I decided to keep my child — and that was a traumatic load to carry. But gosh, the love we shared changed my life forever.” Shante Young, 28, a construction company project engineer who lives in Costa Mesa, and her boyfriend Dylan Sanchez, 30, a retail salesman who lives in Whittier, sought shade under a tree in Grand Park as they listened to the voices of abortion rights supporters booming through loudspeakers from the stage in front of City Hall. A few yards away, anti-abortion demonstrators banged drums and used a megaphone to drown out the activists’ voices.
