Students at Carthage High School walk-out in support of Roe v. Wade
CARTHAGE, Mo. – Students at Carthage High School hosted a walk-out event to show their support for Roe V. Wade on May 18.
According to the event organizer Xzandria Avina, the purpose of the walk-out is to stand against the Supreme Court’s leaked decision to overturn Roe V. Wade.
“Here in Missouri, a woman’s right to bodily autonomy will be stripped from her, with an Anti-Abortion bill ready to be passed if the decision goes through.”
-Avina
Students began their protest at the roundabout on Grand and Fairlawn and made their way to the city’s courthouse.
Students also started a petition to show their support.
