REPORTS FROM BAILEY PARK. PEOPLE WERE OUT HERE TO COMMUNICATE A MESSAGE. THEY SAY IT’S ABOUT MORE THAN JUST ABORTION ACCESS. THEY SAY IT’S ABOUT THE FREEDOM TO MAKE A CHOICE. IF YOU’RE TIRED OF LOSING YOUR RIGHTS, CLAP YOUR HANDS. YOUR BODY IS YOUR CHOICE, NOT A VESSEL TO EXPLOIT. IF YOU’RE TIRED OF LOSING YOUR RIGHTS, CLAP YOUR HANDS. DOZENS OF PEOPLE TURNED OUT TO THE BIGGER THAN ROAD EVENT IN WINSTON SALEM SUNDAY, MARKING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF V WADE. IT WAS A COLLABORATIVE EVENT BETWEEN THE WOMEN’S MARCH, THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN AND RED WINE IN BLUE. ALL ACTIVIST GROUPS THAT SUPPORT WOMEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ORGANIZERS DONATED MONEY RAISED THROUGH THE EVENT TO A WOMAN’S CHOICE, A CLINIC WHICH HAS A LOCATION IN GREENSBORO. I CAN SAY WITH CERTAINTY THAT ALL OF US, MAN OR WOMAN OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN HAVE BEEN TOUCHED EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY WITH THE NEED TO EXERCISE CHOICE. COURTNEY OGLE ATTENDED THE EVENT. SHE SAYS SHE DECIDED TO HAVE AN ABORTION BECAUSE SHE WAS IN DANGER OF A HIGH RISK PREGNANCY. SHE SAID IT WAS THE HARDEST DECISION SHE EVER MADE, BUT SHE DOESN’T REGRET IT. WE NEED TO HAVE THESE CHOICES. WOMEN NEED TO HAVE THESE CHOICES. SO MUCH MORE THAN NOT WANTING A PREGNANCY. JUST SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. SARAH MOSLER SPOKE AT THE EVENT. SHE SAYS PEOPLE WILL KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL THINGS CHANGE. I THINK PEOPLE EXPECT, LIKE IF IT HASN’T DIRECTLY IMPACTED ME, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE WILL STEP UP, SOMEONE ELSE WILL SPEAK UP, SOMEONE ELSE WILL WRITE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO DO THAT. BUT IT’S UP TO ALL OF US AS INDIVIDUALS TO TAKE ON THIS FIGHT AND DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO PUSH THIS FORWARD. TODAY’S EVENTS WERE ONE OF MANY ACROSS THE STATE. MOZELLA SAYS SHE’S BEEN IN CONTACT WITH LAWMAKERS ABOUT ENSURING ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
