Mary Jane Mulligan, of Hanover, right, cheers on Dartmouth freshman Grace Hillery, left, as she speaks at a rally on the green in Hanover, N.H., in response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and end the constitutional right to abortion on Friday, June 24, 2022. Hillery told the group that she was raised in a fundamentalist Christian household that would protest outside abortion clinics and knows their life-long committment to the pro-life cause. "Access to information and education has allowed me to overcome the ideology I was raised with," she said, and encouraged others at the rally to stay involved and vote for candidates that support women's reproductive rights.
