Across the country, we are seeing a new wave of extreme bans on abortion, stripping away reproductive freedom and representing an all-out assault on abortion access. This is Trump’s anti-choice movement… and it’s terrifying, particularly for women of color and low-income women who are most affected by these bans.

This Tuesday, May 21st at noon local time at statehouses, town squares, and courthouses across the nation--with other events throughout the week--we will show up to speak out and fight back against this unconstitutional attempt to gut Roe and punish women.

We will show up to speak out and fight back against this unconstitutional attempt to gut Roe and punish women. Politicians shouldn't be making decisions best left to women, their families, and their doctors.

Together we say: Stop the bans.

Plan an action or RSVP to one near you now. We'll send you more information on tips to make the most of your event.

Rally for Reproductive Rights
Tuesday, May 21, 2019
12:00pm – 1:00pm
City Hall Steps, Polk Street
San Francisco
This is a nationwide pro-abortion rally at Noon. You can find other rallies at the same website. Roe v Wade guarantees the right to a safe and legal abortion.
It is NOT ENOUGH that the majority of the people in San Francisco support the right to abortion mandated by Roe v Wade. We have a Supreme Court now that is in the majority ANTI-ABORTION and can agree to take any of the many anti-abortion cases pending and rule in favor of the anti-abortion states ANY DAY. Some 37,000 voters in San Francisco voted for Nazi Trump who they knew for sure to be anti-abortion when he picked an anti-abortion vice president in July 2016. They also knew that the Republican Party platform is explicitly anti-abortion, unlike Peace & Freedom Party, the Green Party and the Democratic Party, all of which explicitly support Roe v Wade, because they all have computers and can look up the party platforms on their computers and receive that information instantly. The 62 million people who voted for Trump also knew that Trump and his Republican Party are anti-abortion for the same reasons. Trump just came out against abortion except in cases of rape or incest. He ignores the women who have a still born fetus which must be aborted to save the woman's life. He ignores all women who cannot afford a child either financially or emotionally. He ignores all women who face death by being pregnant, and that is what pregnancy is: FACING DEATH. A woman must be able to choose whether or not she will have a child. A fetus is not a child; it is part of the woman's body until it is born alive kicking and screaming, and it better be born kicking and screaming. If this country makes abortion illegal, it will declare to the world that it is a backward cesspool. We will not tolerate it. We must move forward.
