Planned Parenthood Rally Wednesday

Planned Parenthood of Southwest Missouri will rally at the Federal Courthouse Wednesday with other pro-choice supporters to "express outrage over the Supreme Court's ruling" to uphold a ban on late-term abortion, according to a release.

The rally is meant to "send a message to the Missouri legislature that women's health and safety must be protected," according to Kellie Rohrbaugh of Planned Parenthood.

"The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to uphold the federal abortion ban gives politicians the green light to interfere in the private healthcare decisions of women and families," reads the release.

The rally will be held between 4:30-6 p.m. on the corner of St. Louis Street and Hammons Parkway.
