Ongoing?

Is the protest still ongoing? It was of the issues leading to the 2022 United States elections (2022 Midterm elections).Cwater1 (talk) 04:44, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on what form you recognize as "protests". I have not heard word of organized rallies since before the elections. Of course, pro-lifers have never ceased praying outside abortion clinics always and everywhere, so if you consider those "protests" there may also be "counter-protests" that are too small to make the news (and too peaceful to make the police blotter.) Stay tuned for Christmastime, when pro-lifers tend to organize larger vigils. Elizium23 (talk) 04:45, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I meant to say that the topic on abortion was an issue leading to the November elections. What you are saying is likely true.Cwater1 (talk) 20:17, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LissajousCurve, regarding the page move, that's great and all, but wouldn't it be nice if we could also document some 2023 protests so that the name actually fits the article? Elizium23 (talk) 10:12, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming that protests both for and against abortion are going to be a thing throughout this year (and years to come) as it was since May of last year, maybe we should rename this page "Post-Roe abortion protests"? Jmaxfield18 (talk) 20:50, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Florida anti-protest law

The section about the law DeSantis signed implies that it was in response to the Dobbs decision. But as the below CNN article points out, the bill was actually introduced two months prior. I tried to add a sentence clarifying this, but I got an error message. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/17/politics/ron-desantis-bill-protests-private-residence-florida/index.html 174.83.14.34 (talk) 04:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
