Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Charles Booker was in Pikeville on Sunday, joining a protest against the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a 6-3 majority ruled Friday that the High Court aired 49 years ago when Roe v. Wade guaranteed the right to an abortion. That set off a flurry of protests around the country over the weekend, including a Bands Off Our Bodies rally organized by Pikeville Pride inside of the Pike County Courthouse on Sunday. During the rally, Booker and other speakers said the decision had nothing to do with saving lives, but was an effort by a minority to exert control over others. This was never about protecting life. If it were about protecting life, we'd make sure everyone has quality health care. If it were about protecting life, no child would go hungry. If it were about protecting life, no school would be shot up. Kentucky would not have one of the highest maternal mortality rates. If it was about protecting life, our state would be one of the poorest in the country. We have some of the wealthiest politicians in Washington. Many also expressed fear that the court's conservative majority could also eliminate protections for contraceptive use and marriage equality, and they vowed to fight back in response. Keeping us pregnant? It is our responsibility to recognize that this is the first in a cascading effect of rights that are the conservative majority of the Supreme Court wants to overturn. Our state is worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for. Every single one of you in this tournament, everyone in this entire state and nation are worth fighting for. And yes, this is an issue for all of us, all of us, men, women, non-binary, our trans brothers and sisters. Don't you ever let anybody tell you that you are not worthy of those rights, of that agency, of that choice? Because you are. Booker, who is challenging Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, predicted he will win in November and said he will work to codify the protections previously guaranteed by Roe into law.
