The use and abuse of pro-life and sexual assault-related rhetoric on behalf of climate activists is unfair to survivors, plain and simple. It is unfair to the #MeToo movement. It is unfair to the women who fought for ownership of their bodies. Each of these political protests set historical precedent and were significant.

Every day, therefore, is already a march for survivors of rape and sexual assault. Every day is already a march for the women who have to fight for their reproductive freedom.
