While anti-choice governors and attorneys general have taken advantage of the widespread sense of urgency to contain the COVID-19 pandemic to yet again limit abortion access, abortion advocates have pushed for telemedicine prescriptions for mifepristone and misoprostol, the drugs commonly used together in medical abortions.

Thousands of marchers walked past us, carrying signs with messages like “Abortion kills,” and “Impeach Roe,” as we wielded our bright pink “Keep Abortion Safe and Legal” rounds.

On the Day of the March for Life, the Fight Continues to Keep Abortion Safe and Legal

Throughout the long, and often frustrating, history of feminist activism, January 22, 1973 ranks at the top of the list of the most important days for women’s rights in the U.S. (competing with other critical dates such as August 18, 1920–happy suffrage centennial!)
