Denton became one of the first cities in the state to take official action supporting abortion rights following the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade.
PUBLISHED 11:48 PM CDT Jun. 28, 2022DENTON, Texas —
Maguire said that the resolution, in addition to supporting women and those able to get pregnant, also supports groups that will aim to help women get the care they need in this new "post-Roe" era. Maguire also told supporters that, ultimately, they can only make recommendations to local police to deprioritize enforcement of those laws, and that they’d have little say with non-city agencies who carry jurisdiction in the city, including the Texas Rangers and Denton County Sheriff’s Department.
Audrey Fink of Denton held up a large sign in the crowd that said, "My arms are tired from holding this sign since the 1960s," a quote she attributed to her grandmother who wanted to be at the protest but couldn’t due to her ailing health. Michelle Barker stood in the crowd with her wife and children, all holding signs fighting for abortion rights. Barker said they wanted to set an example for their kids, especially at a time where members of the court are on record as showing interest in revisiting other rights such as the right to contraception and the rights to marriage equality.
