NYC: Stop the Bans Rally in Foley Square by Gabriele Holtermann-Gorden
Thousands of women rallied in Foley Square in New York City protesting the wave of extreme bans on abortion, the stripping away of reproductive rights, and an all-out assault on abortion access.
Under the hashtag #StopTheBans, more than 450 cities and towns across the nation joined the protests after Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Mississippi recently passed the strictest anti-abortion laws in the country which are viewed as an all-out assault on women's rights. Speaker included New York City Mayor and Democratic Presidential Candidate Bill de Blasio, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, Gloria Allred, women's rights lawyer, and Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues.
