Stop the Bans was a series of rallies held in the United States on May 21, 2019, protesting abortion bans and restrictions. Supporting organizations include the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Planned Parenthood.[1]

About

Several states in 2019 enacted laws that caused abortion bans that abortion rights supporters considered extreme. At the time of the protests, these states were Alabama, Mississippi and Ohio. Missouri and Louisiana were also considering similar laws at the time. Supporters also considered laws regarding abortion in Michigan to be extreme. Protesters at the Stop the Bans rallies were concerned about women's rights being eroded. Demonstrators at the rallies felt that politicians should not be making medical decisions about women's bodies.
