Yes, Arkansas women will be marching with others across the country in support of reproductive freedom. The response is to the rise in restrictive laws against women’s medical autonomy, particularly a new Texas law that allows vigilantes to chill abortion rights, with no roadblock from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Marches in several Arkansas cities are planned.  But the Little Rock event is noted on this Facebook group.

UPDATE: of course I should have said the March isn’t limited to women.
