A number of people are spotted wearing green or waving green flags at abortion rights demonstrations.

After the Supreme Court's landmark ruling Friday eliminating the federal right to abortion, a pro-abortion-rights advocate scaled one of the arches of D.C.’s Frederick Douglass Bridge and flew a green banner. Why is green a symbol of abortion rights?

This color choice is no accident, as it is a symbol of similar movements previously held in other countries. The Latin American abortion rights movement, also known as the "green tide" or "green wave" has roots in Argentina.

Marta Alanis, founder of Catholics for the Right to Decide, proposed wearing a green scarf as a "symbol of hope, health, life" at the 18th National Women's Meeting in Argentina in 2003.

Soon after, green scarves, flags, T-shirts and posters were seen during demonstrations and protests.

With influence from Argentina, many Americans are moving to create their own "green wave," making the color green an international symbol of the fight for abortion rights.

Soon they will be acting like the women from Argentina as well. Attacking Catholic churches while topless. Brace yourselves.

Green is the new Red. Every leftist agenda item is now under the green umbrella

Can we start calling them The Gang Green?

Nothing says hope, health and life like cutting up a growing baby into bloody pieces.

It is hard to make a New York Jets reference that would actually be unfair to the Jets, but that does it.

The hits keep coming from Argentina, don’t they?

In 1900, they were one of the leading countries in the world. And then 120+ years of political leftism happened, and they’re a basket case.

It is also the color of leftwing Palestinian terrorists and Gorbachev’s Green Movement/global warming nuts. Saves the far left a bucketful of money printing up their protest materials, I suppose.

Liberation theology bump

Marxist color revolution.

They all need to move to Ukraine.

And last night and tonight the U.S. Capitol Building have been lit up in the same pro-infanticide Green:

As far as I'm concerned, Pelosi and Schumer are guilty of insurrection, because this wouldn't happen without them ordering it.

Green, the color that symbolizes earth (goddess) worship, thus, sustainability, human sacrifice at alters of satan, eating bugs and fungi rather than meat, dairy, eggs. It’s all of that and more.

Ukraine and green? It’s already there: blue + yellow = green.

Green also means recycling. Like recycling fetuses into mRNA jabs.

Of the Biblical Four Horsemen, the pale horse Death rides is pale green to represent death and putrefaction. Greek name for the color is “chlorophyll”

[piasa]

sick folks these leftists...

[piasa]

Greens are always red on the inside, hence the term Watermelon reds. Just as pro Soviet as ever.

[alexander_busek]

Greek name for the color is “chlorophyll”

Incorrect!

The English word "chlorophyll" is derived from two Greek words: χλωρός, khloros (meaning "pale green"), and φύλλον, phyllon (meaning "leaf").

The German word, Blattgrün ("leaf-green"), makes that perfectly clear to any German speaker.
