#occupySD riders #OSDR friday neighborhood raid! 1-3PM meet @ balboa park fountain https://www.facebook.com/events/151265528322667/ 

On this Raid we will be going to the busy intersections of our little center city neighborhoods. Since there is no direct target get as creative as you would like with signs, flags and banners. This event promotes friendly dialog with the folks that live in the area and an equally friendly reminder that Occupy is still going strong

39th anniversary of landmark Roe v. Wade decision

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Sunday marks the 39th anniversary of the landmark Roe versus Wade ruling on a woman’s right to choose.

Across the country, thousands of demonstrators hit the streets both in support of the law and against it.

Here in San Diego, a group of feminists gathered at the Civic Center Plaza downtown.

“It’s our position that abortion is a medical procedure that should be available to all women without restriction. It should be funded and abortion is a part of comprehensive health care. And health care should be a right, not a privilege,” demonstrator Adriane Bracciale said.

The 1973 ruling federally legalized a woman’s right to have an abortion per the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
