Non, les démocrates n'ont pas coloré la rivière Chicago pour célébrer l'avortement. La photo du cours d'eau teint en rouge provient d'un article parodique.

The review says Democrats did not dye the Chicago River red to celebrate abortion. It traces the shared photo to a satirical article, which used an image from Chicago’s St. Patrick’s Day river-dyeing celebration with the green color changed to red.[S1]
Additional context
Chicago hosted the Democratic National Convention for four days starting August 19, 2024. A Reuters screenshot of a Fox 10 Phoenix river livestream, taken August 20, showed that the river’s color had not changed during the convention. [S1]
