https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20220624/activists-on-both-sides-of-abortion-battle-demonstrate-in-suburbs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In Wheaton, more than 130 people rallied in support of abortion rights. State Rep. Terra Costa Howard, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, was among those who spoke to the crowd. “It’s not just a women’s issue,” she said of abortion. “It’s a family issue. It’s a people issue. It’s a human being issue.” “Today, the Supreme Court said, ‘We don’t care,'” Costa Howard added. “It’s absolutely devastating to watch them disregard precedent.” Dressed in the red cape and white hat of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” a book and television series about women forced to bear children for others, organizer Jax West of Lisle spoke of the importance of suburban rallies as well as those in Chicago. “People in the suburbs don’t always get this opportunity,” said West, of Illinois Handmaids.)
