Thousands of Americans went to Washington Streets to participate in the “march of women”, which is designed to attract the attention of politicians and society to the problems of inequality. About it reports The Washington Post.
The demonstration participants held a rally on the Freedom Square near the White House and passed the procession to the building of the US Supreme Court. According to the organizers, a total of about 600 shares throughout the country were held.
Many participants held posters with slogans “I am a woman, and not an incubator”, “my body is my choice” and others. The demonstrators demanded preventing tightening of abortion laws in the country and opposed the law entered into force in Texas in early September. Now, in most cases, abortions are prohibited in most cases after six weeks of pregnancy. The prohibition acts in cases where the conception occurred as a result of rape or incest. In addition, the law allows everyone to apply to the court to those who violate these rules.
Previously, the activists of the FEMEN movement performed protests from the US Embassy in Madrid because of the prohibition of abortion, adopted in Texas. Girls were blinded and made an inscription in support of a resident of the American state.
