Abortion opponents held a rally Wednesday at the Alabama Capitol, savoring victory after the state's governor signed the nation's most stringent abortion ban into law last week.
Elsewhere in the South, abortion-rights supporters occupied much of a city block in New Orleans, chanting 'My body! My choice!"
"Today we gather to say enough is enough. For too long the violence and tragedy of abortion has destroyed my generation," Hawkins said. None of the laws has actually taken effect, and all are expected to be blocked by the courts as the legal challenges play out with an ultimate eye on the Supreme Court."This is the beginning of the end and the other side knows it," said Elizabeth Parker, minority outreach co-ordinator for Students for Life.
Opponents of Alabama's abortion law had held a large rally at the Alabama Capitol on Sunday while simultaneous marches were held in Huntsville and Birmingham.
