Biographical/Historical Note
The March for Women's Lives was a protest demonstration held on April 25, 2004 at the National Mall in Washington, D. C. There were approximately 1.3 million participants. The demonstration was led by seven groups; National Organization for Women, American Civil Liberties Union, Black Women's Health Imperative, Feminist Majority, NARAL Pro Choice America, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The March called attention to women's health and lives and policies that affect them through topics such as abortion rights, reproductive health care, and women's rights. Originally named the March for Freedom, the March was renamed to expand the message of "pro-choice" to include the right to have children, access to pre and postnatal care, as well as sex education, which were not always accessible for women of color.The Women's March was notable for its inclusivity and diversity, with participants from all walks of life, ages, races, genders, and sexual orientations coming together to advocate for progressive causes. The event featured speeches and performances by a range of prominent figures, including celebrities, politicians, and activists.
Megan Aileen Wulff, Brown University class of 2005, attended and documented her experiences at the March for Women's Lives. She graduated from Yale Law School with a Juris Doctor degree in Health Law in 2013. Wulff supervises the Health Policy Commission's evaluation of the impact of significant provider transactions on healthcare costs, quality, access, and equity for Massachusetts residents, managing a team of attorneys, economists, and other healthcare experts.
