Outside the west side of the Colorado State Capitol, a loud and angry crowd on a normally quiet Tuesday afternoon protested a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that shows a willingness to overturn Roe v. Wade
"Let's make it very clear here. Abortion rights is a racial justice issue," Karla Gonzales Garcia, a community activist, told the crowd.
"I myself had an abortion in a country where abortion is illegal: Peru. You have no freaking idea the terror that I had [when I was] on the bed, not knowing if I [were to wake] up ... in the minutes after the abortion," Gonzales Garcia said."The only thing that [an] unsafe and illegal abortion [does] is kill people."
"Should the Supreme Court decision stand in the way that it has been issued as a draft, y'all, the work that we have done and the work that we collectively will continue to do will matter more than ever," Gonzales said. "I have a six-month-old son, and when these things happen, I can't imagine myself in the future looking him in the face and saying I didn't stand up to also fight for women of color, for poor people," Brad Bogus said.
