WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — Events occurred around the nation, including Wisconsin, on Sunday’s 50th anniversary of the now overturned Roe versus Wade ruling.
In Madison, protestors took part in a Bigger than Roe march on State Street before making their way to the State Capitol Rotunda. The Madison Area Reproductive Rights Coalition for Healthcare (MARRCH) helped organize the protest. They focused on the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
Speakers at the event say that over 70% of Wisconsinites support abortion, and the candidate who is elected in April must reflect the wants and the needs of the people of Wisconsin.
The spring primaries take place February 21, and the general election to decide the next state Supreme Court Justice is on April 4.
