Pre-midterm election rally for candidates supporting women’s right to abortion
Thousands of people gathered in Washington and in cities across the country Saturday, filling streets, chanting and carrying protest signs to demand the right to abortion, one month before the critical midterm elections.
Arizona Democrats join Women’s March for abortion rights: ‘We are on a razor’s edge’.
A key swing state this November, Arizona’s become a battleground for abortion rights since the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade — a ruling that’s impacted electoral politics across the nation this midterm cycle.
“We are on the razor’s edge,” said Kris Mayes, the Democratic candidate for attorney general. “The razor’s edge of civility versus chaos, the razor’s edge of democracy versus autocracy, the razor’s edge of sanity versus instability, the razor’s edge of women’s reproductive freedom versus forced birth — and we are not going down that road.”
Women’s March said it planned 450 demonstrations across the country on Saturday, with rallies happening in New York, Washington and other cities.
