The event included candidate for Congress Ashley Ehasz, candidate for Pennsylvania Senate Ann Marie Mitchell, Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, and Middletown Township supervisors Anna Payne, Dawn Quirple, and Bernadette Hannah, all Democrats.
Ralliers lined South Flowers Mill Road in the Langhorne section of the township with signs that read “my body, my uterus, my choice,” “our rights, our bodies, and our choice,” and “pro-women, pro-choice.”
The rally was in response to the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court and threats from some Republican politicians to end Pennsylvania laws that allow for legal abortion.

Donations of diapers and women’s hygiene products were accepted from rally attendees.
Later on Saturday, a similar demonstration took place outside of the Bucks County Administration Building in Doylestown Borough.
Last month following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, demonstrations took place in Doylestown Borough, Middletown Township, and Sellersville Borough.
