'Here to make a statement'

Abortion rights focus of women's marches in Cd'A and elsewhere

Nearly 200 people of all ages marched in downtown Coeur d’Alene Sunday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark court decision that granted the constitutional right to abortion. It was overturned by the Supreme Court in June. “They say no choice, we say pro-choice,” shouted Teresa Borrenpohl, an organizer for the event.
