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.

Herskovitz, a Holocaust denier, Nazi sympathizer and self-confessed antisemite, has led this protest for the past 18 years. “[I dont] worry only about our kids, who have had to cross that protest, but also worry about all the other kids in Ann Arbor who have also grown up seeing that,” said Deborah Ball, President of the congregation. “How has that affected what they think is acceptable? Thats as serious as anything, actually.”](https://chscommunicator.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-23-at-10.03.32-PM-475x317.png)
