PEORIA, IL --YES FOR CHOICE RALLY
WHEN: 4 pm on Saturday, Oct. 2, at the corner of Main & University streets, Peoria,IL
A Yes for Choice rally, to show solidarity with all working to overturn the laws restricting abortion access, will take place at 4 pm on Saturday Oct. 2 at the corner of Main & University streets, Peoria, IL.
Speakers for the event will include ministers, medical doctors, and others who support choice for all in the USA.
Sponsors for the event are the Peoria chapter of NOW, the National Organization for Women; the Peoria chapter of the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union; Peoria Pride; and others.
The event is part of a national day of these events everywhere to express outrage about unconstitutional and restrictive laws on abortion.
BACKGOUND: The Texas legislature has ended access to safe, legal abortion, before 85% of people know they are pregnant. Texas has placed a $10,000 bounty on women, pregnant individuals within the LGBTQ community, and those who provide support in ending an unwanted pregnancy. This bounty can be claimed by ANYONE wishing to file suit, without protection for victims of rape and incest. The US Supreme Court chose not to stop the Texas law from going into effect, and will hear arguments on a Mississippi abortion ban this fall!
Join us in solidarity with rallies across the country, at the corner of Main & University streets in Peoria, to show support for safe, respectful care for pregnant people seeking abortions regardless of their state of residence.
