Silent No More (a group of women who have had abortions and are now anti-choice) is having a march at 1:00pm on Saturday the 28th from Our Lady of Victory Church to the University Ave. Planned Parenthood. Rochester SDS, along w/ other activists, is going to rally at 1:00pm at Planned Parenthood and show opposition to the march. Because this is short notice, tactics and details will be largely decided on site by the people there.
