Today marked the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to legalize abortions in the United States. The protest at the Minnesota state capitol showed that Americans are still at odds about the controversial ruling. The protest involved many women providing testimonies about their regrets after having abortions themselves and urged pregnant women considering abortions to obtain help. They wanted to show people struggling with unwanted pregnancies that there are resources about which they may not have even heard. These resources can help women obtain free counseling and doctor appointments throughout their pregnancies. Protesters are still adamant that this decision to legalize abortion in the United States is atrocious, and they are hoping that their presence at the capitol today will help others to see that this issue has not been forgotten.
