"Salud, Dignidad y Justicia" (health, dignity and justice) was the greatest demand at Wednesday's demonstration following a hearing at the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans. There, activists from numerous states, namely Texas, spoke against the closure of abortion clinics, and the restrictions placed on preventative contraception in the state.
On Monday, a federal judge made a powerful determination that affects all women, including a large Latina population, stating that Texas' abortion restrictions place an unconstitutional burden on women seeking to end a pregnancy -- a ruling that keeps open dozens of abortion clinics across the state while officials appeal.
