BARTLETT — Around 20 people gathered at the intersection of Routes 16 and 302 in Glen on Tuesday evening to rally for reproductive rights in light of the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Most attendees were local, but some came from as far as Berlin and Bethel.
The protesters hoisted signs from the sidewalks by the Irving gas station and Dairy Queen from about 5 to 6:30 p.m. Signs had phrases like, “Bans off our bodies,” and “Reproductive rights are human rights,” as well as resources to learn more about abortion rights and phone numbers to contact congressional delegation members.
