00:00Thousands have marched on Washington DC, but this is not a campaign event.
00:07These people are marching for women's rights, in particular a woman's right to make choices
00:11about her own body.
00:13It's something that's emerged as a central theme of this year's presidential election.
00:17This crowd blames Donald Trump for appointing the conservative judges who overturned Roe
00:23v. Wade and limited access to abortion in the United States.
00:29They're chanting Roe Your Vote and facing off against pro-life demonstrators who have
00:34made an appearance and insist casting a vote next Tuesday is not enough.
00:39Women are a key voting bloc for Kamala Harris and she has a lot of supporters in this crowd.
00:45Harris hopes to not just inspire Democrats to get out and vote, but also convince Republicans
00:50to flip sides.
00:52In a nail-biter of an election, Tuesday's result could be decided on gender lines.
00:56I have nieces, I have granddaughters, and even though this doesn't affect me probably,
01:02women are already dying and I just think it's a matter of life and death.
01:05This is the first time in history that this election has brought women of all colors together
01:12on an abortion issue for real.
01:14We have four more years, again, of Donald Trump.
01:19It will destroy all of the work that we have done in this country.
01:22She will lead our country forward.
01:27Women marching on Washington DC became a regular occurrence after Donald Trump's win in 2016.
01:34This crowd says they're not going back.
