Rally For Reproductive Justice
Will do!
Palmetto State Abortion Fund is organizing a Rally for Reproductive Justice at the South Carolina Statehouse (south side) on Tuesday, November 18th.
At 2:00 p.m., the Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee will reconvene to debate S.323, the extreme abortion ban currently under consideration. During this hearing, legislators will discuss amendments and vote on whether to move the bill forward. While public testimony will not be heard, the public is allowed to be present — and we intend to make sure they see and feel the power of our collective voice.
This rally is our chance to show lawmakers that South Carolinians overwhelmingly oppose this dangerous and deeply unpopular bill. Together, we’ll stand for reproductive freedom, bodily autonomy, and the right to make private medical decisions without government interference.
Event Schedule:
Setup: 10:00 a.m.
Rally Start: 1:00 p.m.
Speaking Program: 3:00–4:00 p.m.
Rally Ends: 5:00 p.m.
Exit by: 6:00 p.m.

Sound Science Saves Lives
Science and public research are under attack in this country. Indiscriminate cuts to federal research agencies and political interference are causing research studies to be paused, programs halted, and communications muzzled.
