“I think that women are being depicted as chattel,” RepSpeier says as states debate abortion restrictions. “If we are going to start regulating women and their reproductive health, well maybe we should start regulating men and their reproductive health.”
More than 50 organizations -- including the American Civil Liberties Union and NARAL Pro-Choice America -- are participating in #StopTheBans protests nationwide. The rising wave of abortion restrictions in AmericaRallies will take place at noon local time in almost all 50 states. "Across the country, we are seeing a new wave of extreme bans on abortion, stripping away reproductive freedom and representing an all-out assault on abortion access," organizers said.
Several states already have similar laws, including Mississippi and Ohio. And more states, including Missouri and Louisiana, could enact"heartbeat bills."Abortion rights activists say these kinds of restrictive laws are an attack on Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the US. "We will show up to speak out and fight back against this unconstitutional attempt to gut Roe and punish women," organizers of Tuesday's protests said.
