More than 100 women, many saying they had never before acknowledged their abortions, declared at a Washington rally that they would be “silent no more” in the face of attacks on women’s access to abortion. The rally, sponsored by the National Abortion Rights Action League, was billed as “a forum for concerned and outraged pro-choice supporters who have flooded the league office with calls and letters expressing concern about the current abortion debate which ignores women and the reality of individuals’ lives.”
