Credit:<\/span> Photo by Dave Decker<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div> While talk of the \u201cculture wars\u201d is supposed to tamp down in the legislative session kicking off in a few weeks, abortion will undoubtedly still be hotly debated.\n

The amendment to enshrine a woman\u2019s right to reproductive care narrowly missed Florida\u2019s unusually-high threshold for ballot approval<\/a>, and bills are already filed to better regulate state-funded anti-abortion pregnancy centers.
<\/a>
To keep the community\u2019s eye on winning back the rights of women to make decisions about their bodies, members of the Pinellas chapter of the National Organization for Women, Florida Planned Parenthood Action, and others hold a sign-waving rally to commemorate the the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Bring your own signs, or borrow one from your new friends.<\/p>

The Roe v. Wade Commemoration & reproductive freedom visibility event happens Wednesday, Jan. 22 on the corner of Central Avenue and 3rd Street N in St. Petersburg.<\/p>
