Nearly 100 people rallied in Warwick Sunday to protest what they are calling a federal attack on women's rights.
The group said they were outraged by the current administration's attack on women's rights, and disappointed about the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
Jen Metzger, the Democratic candidate for state Senator of the 42nd District, said if elected, she will fight for women who feel silenced.
She says she will stand behind the Reproductive Health Act, which would protect women's health and reproductive rights in New York state if the Supreme Court rolls back Roe v. Wade and other legislation.
Metzger says now is the time for everyone to out at the polls.
