50 years after the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, we are now a nation without a constitutional right to choose if we want to proceed with a pregnancy.  Legislators hostile to reproductive rights access are seeking to tighten abortion restrictions.  The League of Women Voters supports reproductive rights and is against abortion bans.
Join your fellow Leaguers this Saturday, JAN 21, noon at Orlando City Hall to stand up for Reproductive Rights!  Let us know you're coming:
