We’re taking their names and their stories straight to the bigots who support inhumane abortion bans: the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in Little Italy. Each month the church hosts a “pro-life mass” that concludes with a protest outside the Bleecker Street Planned Parenthood. The event draws over a hundred participants who attempt to shame and intimidate patients trying to get through the clinic’s doors. We say: no more! Not another Saturday of stigma and harassment from abortion opponents who think they know what’s best for us. And not another life stolen in the name of being “pro-life.”

These are some of the people we’re honoring:

Rosaura Almonte, a Dominican teenager who was diagnosed with leukemia while seven weeks pregnant. She died while waiting for doctors to decide whether they could give her life-saving treatment that might harm the fetus.

The teenage migrants held in detention and denied abortion access by our government.

Savita Halappanavar, who asked for an abortion to save her own life and was refused one by doctors afraid of violating Irish law. She died of sepsis.

People across the US—a country with skyrocketing rates of maternal morbidity and mortality—who will suffer and die from pregnancy itself.

The untold numbers whose names we’ll never know, whose futures were decided for them by unjust laws and a ruling class that puts profit and control over people, always.

Not one more!

*NB: small location change!* We're now meeting at 8:15 am at the CORNER OF E HOUSTON ST AND ELIZABETH ST. Then we’ll walk from there over to the church together. Please be on time!
