Albertans rally in support of women impacted by decision to overturn Roe v. Wade

Hundreds of people gathered in Calgary and Edmonton yesterday to support women who are affected by the U-S Supreme Court's decision to end constitutional protection for abortion.

Rallies were held at the Alberta Legislature grounds in the capital city and at a march in Calgary.

The group in Calgary walked from Harley Hotchkiss Gardens to Olympic Plaza, chanting ``my body, my choice'' and holding up signs about a woman's right to choose.

On June 24th, the U-S Supreme Court overturned the historic Roe versus Wade case, a decision from 1973 that provided women the constitutional right to abortion, and it has already triggered abortion bans in several states.
