Happy Anniversary Legal Abortion!

Friday is the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the monumental Supreme Court ruling establishing that women have a Constitutional right to end a pregnancy.
Legalized abortion is crucial to women’s rights, as it deals with the most fundamental of human rights, one’s governance over her own body.
Abortion rights supporters are celebrating the anniversary with a rally and vigil in front of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, anti-choice activists will rally on the National Mall and march to the Supreme Court and Capitol Hill.
