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."

To be fair..I live in Quincy and its not as blue as you might think. We get the normal momentary robot liberal displays of outrage but I see lots and lots of Lets Go Brandon around town. The city is pro-police. We had some of the most relaxed COVID rules around the South Shore and Metro Boston area. Lots of integrated hardworking immigrants and salt of the earth contributors to society.
