The assault on women’s right and need to simply be able to determine whether or not to have a child has reached a fever pitch in the United States. In the face of this, Stop Patriarchy has taken the offensive and has organized the Abortion Rights Freedom Ride raising the demand "Abortion On Demand and Without Apology," and traveling to states that have passed draconian restrictions, many with only one abortion clinic remaining in the entire state. The Jackson Women’s Health Organization is the last remaining clinic that provides abortions in the entire state of Mississippi. Legislation passed now threatens its closure! On August 17 the Abortion Rights Freedom Ride joined with members of Wake Up Mississippi, the Hell No Campaign, the JWHO clinic defenders, Mississippi NOW, and others and rallied to the clinic’s defense .
