AUSTIN, TX - MAY 14: Anti-abortion protesters attend a rally for reproductive rights at the Texas Capitol on May 14, 2022 in Austin, Texas. On May 2, 2022 Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization that explicitly overturns Roe v. Wade, which would reverse constitutional protections for abortion across the nation. In Texas, Democrats have not elected a statewide official in a generation.
Demonstrators at the abortion rally said some combination of pragmatism and a desire for emotional release brought them. They hoped a show of solidarity would be enough to change the laws legislators pursue at the Capitol, or that it might translate to votes in future elections. But for many, it was also an opportunity to let go of anger, stress and despair for the future with a like-minded crowd.
