Hundreds of supporters gathered Saturday for the People’s Abortion Rights Rally outside the Duval County Courthouse.
Ash Ballinger shared her story about choosing to have an abortion when she was 24 after getting pregnant with a man she dated not long after she left an abusive marriage.
“Our birth control had failed. We were using condoms and I was on birth control. The person that got me pregnant did not want a child at all. He was like we need to nip it in my bud. It’s going to ruin my life. So I didn’t really have a say,” said Ballinger. “There were two options. Either me have the child and raise the child. Me living in poverty, not able to afford groceries. Not sure how I would ever be able to afford a child.
Hundreds of supporters gathered for the People’s Abortion Rights Rally outside the Duval County Courthouse.“It’s infuriating. I’m very angry about it, but I want to channel that anger into the polls. It affects people in rural communities, poor communities, Black women, Hispanic women. It’s going to harm them more than anyone else,” said Women’s March Jacksonville President Kanesha Fuller.
If overturned, the issue of abortion rights would be returned to the states, like it was before 1973. In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis
