On Thursday evening, Jan. 22, members of the DeKalb County/NIU National Organization for Women commemorated the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade which ensured a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. We wish to express our most sincere thanks to members of the John Lennon Society for their support and participation in our demonstration and candlelight vigil.

We do not deny that abortion is an unpleasant reality; however, we cannot forget the agonies endured by our mothers and grandmothers.

Face it, abortions have always occurred and always will, and women’s lives are saved by keeping them safe, sanitary and legal.
