Women and reproductive rights activists flooded the city this past week and weekend, protesting on the behalf of states poised to lose the right to abortion if Roe v. Wade gets overturned.
Hennessy Marie Garcia, 24, is a student at CUNY Medgar Evers College and a protest organizer for NYC For Abortion Rights . “I would say the situation was very tense,” said Garcia. “We feared for this but we weren’t surprised with the leak. We knew this was coming and it’s like okay, how do we prepare for this.”
To honor the pro-choice abortion rights Latinas in majority Catholic-run countries, her organization and other organizations in the city wear the color green at rallies, said Garcia. Criminalizing abortion essentially prevents many women, especially low-income women of color, to access education or advance their careers if they have to go through with an unplanned pregnancy, she said.
