The protests were organized by Women’s March. Their main mission is to “create transformative social change”, involve more women, make sure to keep the diversity, and educate people on various and serious issues such as the anti-abortion law.
In the nearest future, the Supreme Court will be hearing a case that could reverse Roe v Wade protecting woman’s right to choose to have an abortion without restrictions posed by the government. The Court will now focus on Mississippi's 15-week ban on abortion.
According to Texas law, abortion is prohibited six weeks into pregnancy. Having in mind how early that is, at this time women don’t even know themselves that they are pregnant. Besides this, it encourages people to file a lawsuit against those they believe had or performed an abortion, an exchange getting $10,000.
If implemented, what do these changes bring to citizens? According to a piece written by newspaper columnist Jacob Sullum, there shouldn’t be sudden changes. Even if these restrictions become the new reality, women still will be able to make their own decisions and have an abortion in other states where these restrictions aren’t so cruel.
