Recent high school graduates organized a march and rally at San Jose city hall on Saturday to protest the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and various states' attempts to ban abortions.
"We feel drained, we feel drained just being who we are," said Michael Tapia, one of three event organizers."We have the right to vote in this country and we need to take advantage of that."
Some criticized both major political parties, saying politicians were to blame for the failure to protect abortion rights. As 18-year-old students, they have only known abortion to be legal in this country and are stunned that that will change in some states.
