Flathead Valley residents who want abortion rights enshrined in the state constitution and those who would like to see restrictions placed on access held respective rallies Saturday in Kalispell.

The Bigger Than Roe rally took place at Depot Park, hosted by the Flathead Democrats and Flathead Democratic Women. Around 30 people lined South Main Street, holding signs with messages supporting access to abortion, such as “mind your own uterus” and “women’s rights are human rights.”

Flathead Democratic Women President Angela Kennedy said the rally was in solidarity with others across the country to remember the 1973 ruling of Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court overturned the decision in June of 2022, leading many states to pass laws restricting access to abortion.
