QUINCY – Mothers fighting for the rights of their children, grandparents who remember a time before Roe v. Wade, and young people who've never known a world without legal access to abortion came together at Quincy City Hall on Tuesday night to protest a leaked draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the landmark decision just ahead of its 50th anniversary.
The group March Forward Quincy organized the "Rally for Roe" at the Hancock-Adams Common in front of city hall at the same time thousands of other groups were gathering nationwide.
"I see older women who have fought this fight before. I see millennials and I see Gen Zers who have seen the clock turn back," Melissa Shapiro, who organized the rally, said. "Over half of the women in the United States aren't as lucky as we are (in Massachusetts). It's just devastating."
Carrying signs with phrases like "Abort this draft" and "Forced birth is not pro life," some were emotional and others stood stone faced as they discussed the potential for severely restricted abortion access in the years to come.(snip)
Cindy Roche-Cotter held a sign that read "My body my ..." and her husband, Mike Cotter, stood to her left with a sign reading "Choice." The Cotters are parents, grandparents and nurses who said they worry about the impacts illegal abortions will have on future generations of women.
"It could happen here," Roche-Cotter said of losing access. "It could happen anywhere."
Kerri Sheehan, a Quincy mother, brought her two children to the rally. Her young daughter held a sign she made reading "Bans off our bodies."

These two remind me of the old devil-worshiping couple in Rosemary's Baby.
Hypocrites all. Human feces. They believe in forced vaccinations and that men can be women, until they don’t. They are arbitrary and whimsical.
Mommy wants to kill little kids, and she insists that her little daughter tag along and support her.
britch all ya wants, its not your money paying for it.
i am opposed to federal funded health care for non-veterans.
Wow, that many people!! How did they all fit?
Why are they protesting?
MA is not going to outlaw abortion.
If AL does, it’s none of their business.
Does MA have a law against abortion?
If not, why do they care?
I don’t see anyone at that sparsely attended protest that have to worry much about getting pregnant much less an abortion. Even those two single moms.
Think of the children, selfish assholes.
Bunch of demonics.
Quincy, home of John and Abigail Adams.
I wonder what they would have to say about these ghouls today who joyfully want to dismember babies and celebrate the process.
Good God.
Whoa, wait...are these the same people wanting Uncle Sugar to force everyone to get jabbed with the so called vaccine?
So what happened to “MY BODY,MY CHOICE” back then?
What state is this, the only hint I get from this post is MA which I’m going to assume is Massachusetts being it looks like people are wearing winter coats still.
“So what happened to “MY BODY,MY CHOICE” back then?”
These people think they can define and redefine what truth is, what reality is, moment to moment. They are sick in the head.
It is MA.
Nothing has to be consistent. It’s whatever they feel like about an issue. And they always get to win and we always have to be ruled by their deep state leaders. We are subjects. Indentured ones.
I guess slave owners would have similar slogans.
My slave, my choice!
Slave owners rights are human rights!
Bunch of uninformed losers
Marginalizing fathers paved the way for treating mothers as the owners of the couple’s children and, correspondingly, treating the couple’s children as dehumanized possessions of their mother who can therefor be disposed of by the mother.
