Santa Barbara Rallies to Protect Legal Abortion

Joining actions nationwide, more than a hundred community members gathered at the Santa Barbara Courthouse to protest restrictive measures on legal abortion. The rally, organized by Planned Parenthood’s Central Coast Action Fund, responded to the increasing number of states across the country that are restricting access to abortion services. According to the Planned Parenthood website, 16 states filed, moved, or enacted six-week abortion bans within the first three months of 2019.
