Albertans rally in support of women impacted by decision to overturn Roe v. Wade

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jul 4, 2022 4:34 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Hundreds of people gathered in Calgary and Edmonton yesterday to support women who are affected by the U-S Supreme Court's decision to end constitutional protection for abortion.

Rallies were held at the Alberta Legislature grounds in the capital city and at a march in Calgary.

The group in Calgary walked from Harley Hotchkiss Gardens to Olympic Plaza, chanting ``my body, my choice'' and holding up signs about a woman's right to choose.

On June 24th, the U-S Supreme Court overturned the historic Roe versus Wade case, a decision from 1973 that provided women the constitutional right to abortion, and it has already triggered abortion bans in several states.
