For many years, groups of people with the same interests gathered together fighting for what they believe is right, they formed associations and communities to protest against the government, this was known as the little movements, (Staggenborg, 2012) this occurred around the 17th century. However, in the 1800s it expanded and became, what is now known as, social movements. Social movements are groups similar to the little movement where people come together with common interests and concerns, targeting the national governments with mass demonstrations, petitions, and marches. (Gibney, Feb 26, 2014) In addition, according to Charles Tilly definition of social movements, social movements involved creation of organizations, and associations which engaged in protests, marches, petitions, meetings, and public statements.

In fourteen states: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Arkansas, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, California, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, and The District of Columbia abortion is legal in cases of danger to women's health, rape or incest, or likely damaged fetus. In two states: Massachusetts and Alabama, it is legal only in cases of danger to women's health while in the state of Mississippi it is only legal in cases of rape.
