Celebrities, politicians participate in Women’s Marches across US
“An attack on Planned Parenthood is an attack on all American women”.
America Ferrera spoke about the fear being felt especially by immigrant women. Then there was the sexism and misogyny rampant during the last presidential campaign.
Scarlett Johansson opened up before a crowd estimated half-million attendees at Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington, getting personal to recall being a teenager when she sought the help of Planned Parenthood.
So women, men and kids around the globe came out the day after President Trump’s swearing-in, to announce en masse that it’s our right to live, to choose, to have health care and – unbelievable in 2017 – to have equal rights to men, all of which might be endangered under this new administration.
“What I find most disturbing is the hate speech indicated by the upside-down cross, reminiscent of the KKK”, Gibson said in a statement. Planned Parenthood has decided that the taxpayer dollars they have received isn’t enough, and they want to strip this bipartisan, pro-life protection from our federal spending process. “I can probably count on one hand the number of women in newsroom management in the State of MS”, she said.
All of them work at low-paying jobs and struggle to survive in today’s world.
“I’ve always been very hopeful until this election”, she said. I doubt if anyone really knows.
“I’m not as hopeful as I was 20 years ago”, she said.
“Everyone was like, yeah, we don’t like [Democratic presidential nominee] Hillary [Clinton], but she’s going to win, and people were pretty apathetic about it”, Ms. Bergstrom said. We want the best for all Americans. Sophia Bush chanted along in a pink knit pussy hat. She had insurance through her employer at the time, and it wouldn’t cover the cost of the treatments no matter where she went.
“Most of our services are preventive”, Black said, “but we’re proud to offer safe and compassionate abortion care as well”. We were glad to take the opportunity to make our voices heard in the media and public-that abortion rights are not unilaterally a “women’s issue”.
The Avengers actress concluded her speech by asking that Trump stands up for all equality. The Christian bible “tells us we’re on a downward spiral”, she said.
The news report noted the official also commented, that it was a “shame” that the March for Life next Friday “will not get anywhere near the same amount of coverage that this march got-and those pro-life members were NOT welcome at the Women’s March”.
“I was pregnant with my daughter at the time”, said Quinn-House.
“We didn’t have all the counter-protesters previous year”, a man said as he was walking down Walnut. “We’re united and together we will make a difference”.
