The Walk in Pittsburgh, PA:
At the moment, at the county building in the city, there is a women’s march called “we will not go back”, they are fighting for the right to abortion and chanting “our body, our choice”. #Women’s rights #ourbodyourchoice #AbortionIsHealth pic.twitter.com/pnQK3ctnoo

It’s important to keep in mind that each of the thousands and thousands of people marching are among those most likely to vote midterm, and those voters won’t support Republican candidates who favor suppressing reproductive rights. .
The march has not received the attention it deserves from the mainstream media. If hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters took to the streets, cable news would be there with wall-to-wall coverage.
People fighting for their right to medical care so they don’t die are treated like a third level story on a Saturday.
It doesn’t matter if the media wants to pay attention because, in a month, these Americans will be voting for candidates who support reproductive rights.
