Protests

The danger with Wikipedia is that it can be edited to contain wrong information. This doesn't happen often because of the editing rules on Wikipedia, but it does happen. What can be more useful is scrolling to the bottom of the page and using the reference list, to find WHERE Wikipedia got this information from. These two pages are lists of protests. You can use them to find one you are interested in, and search for that protest yourself.

Abortion

There are several types of self-induced abortions, done by desperate women and girls before abortion was legal. These methods were dangerous, often deadly, and often failed. They included using a coat hanger in an attempt to kill the fetus. Pills such as misoprostol, herbs and vitamins, and even horse riding were used to induce a miscarriage.
