People came out in droves to show support for safe and legal abortion and women’s reproductive rights during Saturday’s event, which was held in response to the leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting Roe v. Wade could be overturned. In Anchorage, Telsche Overby stood among the crowd selling shirts that read, “mother out the Patriarchy.” Funds from the shirts will go to a domestic violence shelter in the Matanuska-Susitna area.
