Why They March
To the people asking why women and men are marching since Trump has only been in office for a day,
People are marching because of statements he has made his ENTIRE life about women.
People are marching because he plans to appoint justices who would work to overturn Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose what she does with her body.
People are marching because he has made some of the most abrasive comments against immigrants and speaks as though all people of color come from, or have experienced, the inner city.
People are marching because he and the republican legislature intend to defund planned parenthood which does far more for women’s health and reproductive health than just abortion.
People are marching because the republicans are working to repeal the Affordable Care Act with no clear plan of replacement on the table or what that looks like.
People are marching because they have the right to do so.
So when you call them “idiots in pussy hats”, I hope you never need reproductive assistance, I hope you do not have a pre-existing condition that would cause you to be refused insurance overage without the protection of the Affordable Care Act, I hope you don’t have to face the fear that others do, but understand some do…. and that… is why they march!
Sincerely, Concerned Citizen
