Mothers pass torch to daughters in abortion’s forever war

CORRECTS TO THOMSON, NOT THOMPSON - Lindsay Walt, 66, and her daughter, Eve Thomson, 27, stand for a portrait after marching across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan on Saturday, May 14, 2022, in New York. Generations of women came together and expressed their outrage that the Supreme Court will soon scrap the constitutional right to abortion that has endured for nearly a half-century and their fear about what that could mean for women's reproductive choices. Walt protested in favor of abortion before 1973, when Roe came down.

Orellana said she was 12 - younger than her daughter - when she was raped by her uncle. She was five months pregnant when her mother found out and arranged for her to have an abortion. She's 46 now. When she hears abortion opponents propose new laws that lack exceptions, even for rape or incest, and when she looks at her three daughters, she is infuriated.

More than 20 years ago, Nakouzi and her family came to the United States from Beirut with high expectations. But in recent years she has been disappointed - "what makes America what it is is being denigrated and broken down." She has joined many protests over the past 10 years. And now, abortion.

Wade. Ramos has protested since the Trump administration, and the threat to abortion rights has steeled her resolve to be heard - and that of her daughter. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)
