Planned Parenthood Rally
Combatant chants clashed, echoing through the University of Michigan Diag. On May 14, several thousand protestors gathered to protest in response to a leaked Supreme Court opinion indicating an overturn of Roe v. Wade, a 1973 decision which laid precedent for legal abortion across the nation. Written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, the opinion, if officially released, would negate the longstanding guidelines protecting uterus-bearing individuals’ right to a safe and legal abortion. The event, hosted by Planned Parenthood, specifically targeted both the Supreme Court opinion and the state of Michigan’s own laws regarding the legality of abortion.
