Planned Parenthood hosted the "Rally for Women's Health" on the National Mall in Washington D.C. today.
Thousands of women's health supporters gathered in front of the Capitol to deliver the message to lawmakers that "women's health is NOT NEGOTIABLE!".
The rally was a response to the recent wave of anti-abortion legislation proposed in more than 20 states and in House bills such as H.R.3 and the Pence Amendment.
Celebrities, House and Senate leaders, and activists were scheduled to speak in defense of Planned Parenthood and women's health.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund tweeted updates from the event all day. Here are some highlights:
The dangerous, ideological cuts to PP that passed the House are never, never, never going to pass the Senate - @ChuckSchumer #Rally4Health
We will not turn our backs on the women of America... We're here for you every day. - @SenatorBoxer #Rally4Health
"Denying my daughter's generation access to healthcare, screenings, reproductive choice is not a smart move." - Ed Harris #Rally4Health
I'll keep an eye out for more details about the event, as I'm sure videos and articles will be available tonight or tomorrow.
