WOMEN’S RIGHTS MARCH HELD IN DOWNTOWN BRENHAM

  

Citizens gathered in downtown Brenham this (Saturday) morning for a march for women’s rights.

Around 40 local and area residents, many with signs in tow, walked around the courthouse square to protest Texas’ new abortion law that prohibits abortions after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, usually around the sixth week of pregnancy.

Tammy Johnson, who organized this morning’s march after creating an online group, said this march was about protecting the reproductive rights of women around the state and around the nation.

 

Johnson encouraged anyone who disagrees with the new law to make themselves heard.

 

The march in Brenham coincided with over 700 marches happening throughout the United States, with the primary march taking place in Washington, D.C.
