Milla Jovovich urged others to join the 'Ban Off Our Bodies' rally in Los Angeles to support reproductive rights: 'Come support a movement that really should not need to be happening in this day and age.”
Speakers including Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti, mayoral candidate and congressperson Karen Bass, attorney Gloria Allred and actors including Ricki Lake and Christine Lahti urged people to fight for reproductive freedom at the “Bans Off Our Bodies” rally in downtown Los Angeles Saturday.
Thousands of people turned out for the Los Angeles event in front of City Hall, while more than 380 rallies were planned across the United States. The rally was part of a nationwide effort to protest the expected overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court, which could see up to 36 million people across the country lose access to abortion. Organizers want to get across the message that a majority of Americans support“We all share one thing in common, and that is that we are enraged,” actress Connie Britton said. “Every woman, every family deserves the right to their own body.
The rallies were organized by organizations including Planned Parenthood and the Women’s March Foundation, which brought millions of protestors to the streets around the world after the election of Donald Trump.
