Women’s Rights marches are happening throughout the country on Saturday, October 2nd, and Sunday, October 3rd — including in New Jersey. The marches will be held two days before the federal Supreme Court reconvenes regarding the Texas law, which generally bans abortion after six weeks. The U.S. Supreme Court is also set to decide on a separate case originating out of Mississippi that could overturn Roe v. Wade, a 1973 decision that protected abortion rights.
