Other organizers include Mississippi in Action and the Mississippi Abortion Access Coalition.\u00a0 They have support from Planned Parenthood Southeast.<\/p>\n<p>And, we in Chicago have assembled a coalition of 14 pro-abortion groups, and growing, to &#8220;Rally for Abortion Rights: Defend Roe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In all these places, and everywhere else we learn about, we should be turning out as many as we can of the majority in this country that opposes overturning Roe and is for removing obstacles to obtaining safe and legal abortions.<\/p>\n<p>We are against legislative bans at 6 weeks, 15 weeks, all bans!
