Cooper said the recent amount of youth support she’s seen for abortion rights is what makes recent efforts different from those in the 1960s and ‘70s. And even at 75, she said she doesn’t have a choice but to keep fighting.
Klancy de Nevers was 40 when the ruling was first announced in 1973. She had three children at the time, two of them daughters, and remembered being happy that abortion rights were finally protected. Alicia Ackerman, left, and Emily Sunderland dressed in costumes from "The Handmaid's Tale," a dystopian novel that describes a future where women are forced to give birth, join about 2,500 protesters at the Capitol for a “Bans Off Our Beehive” rally in support of abortion rights on Saturday, May 14, 2022.
At 28, Natalie Pinkney wasn’t a part of the efforts for abortion rights almost half a century ago. But she’s heartbroken the women who fought so hard before her are having to fight yet again.
