Read our privacy policy A pro-choice campaigner has had a tattoo of a coat hanger engraved in her back to protest the Trump administration's ongoing series of restrictive abortion laws. Robin Pereira, 23, had the symbol emblazoned in a rally against the spate of dangerous underground abortions that women are subject to in US states as a result of president Donald Trump's hostile policies. “This tattoo is a promise to myself that I will never let history turn its back on women.” The activist said she "cried and cried" when Trump gained power, and feared the worst for the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in America that legalise abortion nationwide. Robin Pereira had the words 'never again' engraved to represent those who she says can get drawn into underground abortions with fatal consequences “Although I do not know the names of all the women who died in back alley abortions, I will never forget them and I never want to hear of another women dying from a self-induced abortion.
