Students Protest Attack On Abortion Rights In Texas
A hundred people marched at Texas A&M campus March 22 to
protest a parental notification bill currently making its
way through the Texas legislature, and to support women's
right to legal abortion. Called by that campus' chapter of
the National Organization for Women (NOW), it was the first
pro-choice march and rally held there. Participants in the
march included representatives from the AGS Democrats; NOW,
whose president Patricia Ireland addressed the rally;
Planned Parenthood; Rape Crisis Center; the University of
Houston; and the Young Socialists. Some 35 opponents of
abortion rights held a counterprotest.
