'My body, my choice': Hundreds of abortion rights supporters march through Savannah

As visitors strolled through Forsyth Park on Saturday, a group gathered in the grassy area just east of the fountain. The numbers grew and grew as more supporters joined in.

Abortion-rights supporters took turns speaking from the center of the growing circle. Some offering personal stories about an abortion, while others offered understanding and support. After several speakers, a chant broke out: “my body, my choice."

It gained volume as more joined in and the group headed down Bull Street.
