Rallies Take Place Across U.S. on 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, 7 Months After Ruling Overturned
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme
Court ruling, which enshrined the right to abortion in the Constitution,
until it was overturned by conservative justices last year. Since then,
12 states have enacted total abortion bans. Rallies to defend abortion
rights took place across the U.S. This is Amadi Ozier, a professor and
reproductive rights defender in Madison, Wisconsin.

Amadi Ozier: "We will be putting politicians on notice: You come for our
abortion rights, you come for our reproductive rights, and we will vote
you out!"
