Children

A group of people participates in a protest or demonstration on a sidewalk, some holding signs with handwritten messages. A child near the front holds a sign that reads, "WILL I BE ABLE TO HAVE A NORMAL BABY." The child is holding hands with an adult wearing a plaid coat with fur trim. Another adult in the foreground is holding a bundled infant and carrying a large bag. Trees, buildings, and other protestors are visible in the background.
