THE WOMEN'S MARCH AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AT HIS INAUGURATION IS
SUCH A DICK PLACE NOT ONLY AT INAUGURATION DAY, BUT ALSO
THE SATURDAY AFTER.
THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIVIDE AMONG WOMEN WHO DO NOT
SUPPORT TRUMP.
ON THE ONE HAND YOU HAVE EXTREMELY LIBERAL OR PROGRESSIVE
WOMEN WHO BELIEVE IN REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, AND ON THE
OTHER HAND YOU HAVE WOMEN WHO DO CONSIDER THEMSELVES FEMINISTS,
THOSE WHO DO CONSIDER THEMSELVES THOSE WHO WANT TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST TRUMP, BUT THOSE WHO ARE PRO-LIFE.
THIS DIVIDE HAS LED TO A LITTLE BIT OF CONTROVERSY, AND I'M
NOT SURE WHERE I STAND ON IT.
ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT THE WOMEN'S MARCH IS
PRIMARILY FUNDED AND ORGANIZED BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND
NARAL, TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF
REFLECTIVE RIGHTS FOR WOMEN.
NOW, EVEN SO ñ VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS FOR
WOMEN.
WOMEN WHO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE PRO-LIFE FEEL LIKE THEY ARE
LEFT OUT OF THESE PROTESTS.
I WANT TO PROTEST ñ
I WANT TO PROFILE ONE WOMAN THAT I FIND VERY INTERESTING.
SHE WANTS TO FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS, THAT'S WHAT SHE WANTS TO
DO AS A LAWYER, PROTECT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISSEMINATED
AGAINST IN THIS COUNTRY; HOWEVER, SHE CONSIDERS
HERSELF ANTI-CHOICE.
SO SHE WANTS TO PROTEST TRUMP BUT SHE FEELS SHE CAN'T BE AT
THAT MUCH BECAUSE SHE'S NOT WELCOME THERE.
I'LL PICK UP THAT TOUGH OF A QUESTION, AND THAT'S LIKE, MY
OPINION, MAN, AND IF YOU ARE NARAL YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN
OPINION.
NOW, HAVING SAID THAT, OF COURSE I'D LET THEM MARCH.
I TOTALLY ADDITION ñ I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THEIR POSITION, IF
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ABORTION, GOD BLESS, THAT'S WHAT
FREEDOM IS FOR, BUT YOU'LL GET TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY
BODY, AND I'M AGNOSTIC, SO I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS ARE AT ALL.
AND IT'S BEEN SAID 1000 TIMES, GOD IS PRO-ABORTION, READ
THE BIBLE AND YOU WILL SEE HE IS ACTUALLY IN FAVOR OF IT.
HAVING SAID THAT, WE'RE ALL AMERICANS, YOU ARE AGAINST
TRUMP, I'M AGAINST DRUMS, THEY ARE ALL WOMEN, THEY ARE DOING A
WOMEN'S MARCH, YOU'VE GOT TO LET THEM IN.
THE ONLY THING THAT KIND OF MADE ME QUESTION WHERE I STOOD IS
BECAUSE IT IS FUNDED BY PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
IF PLANNED PARENTHOOD DOESN'T WANT TO HAPPEN ñ
HAVE AN OFFICIAL PARTNER FOR THIS EVENT THAT IS
ANTI-CHOICE, I TOTALLY GET THAT.
BUT THESE WOMEN SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE WELCOMED TO GO,
YOU KNOW, TAKE PART IN THIS.
BECAUSE HERE'S THE REALITY: I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE
HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY IS THAT A LOT OF US, REGARDLESS OF WHERE
WE STAND POLITICALLY, HAVE SIMILAR CONCERNS, AND WE WANT TO
CHANGE THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS.
AND YOU DON'T CHANGE A SYSTEM BY HONING IN ON THE ONE THING
THAT YOU MIGHT DISAGREE ON.
BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE HAVE THINGS THEY MIGHT DISAGREE ON.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENCES OF OPINION EVEN WITH ñ
EVEN WITHIN THE SAME POLITICAL GROUP.
I DON'T WANT TO ISOLATE PEOPLE OR NOT INCLUDE PEOPLE JUST
BECAUSE THERE IS THAT ONE ISSUE WE DON'T AGREE ON.
NOW, WHEN ROE V WADE WAS DECIDED, THE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES DECIDED RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN ORDER TO
LEGALIZE ABORTION.
IT'S A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
I ALSO THINK EXERCISING YOUR FIRST AMENDMENT IS A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
I THINK WE SHOULD STILL VALUE SOMEONE'S FREE SPEECH, AND HAVE
THEM TAKE PART IN SOMETHING WHERE THERE ARE A LOT OF
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS.
IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO VOTE WITH YOU, OR SUPPORT YOU, YOU MIGHT
WANT TO JUST SAY YES.
I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT EASY.
IF WE'RE HAVING A DISAGREEMENT OVER TAX BREAKS, NOBODY IS
GOING TO GO OVER ñ GO TO WAR OVER THAT.
WE CAN HAVE A HEARTY DISAGREEMENT, BUT YOU WANT TO
SAY THAT AFFECTS MY IDENTITY IN SOME WAY.
BUT WHAT IF THE WOMEN WERE ALT-RIGHT, AND THEY WERE
WHITES OF PREMISES.
WE ARE AGAINST TRUMP, BUT WE HATE BLACK PEOPLE.
THEN DO YOU LET THEM MARCH?
I GET IT, IT'S HARD.
I'M WITH YOU, I CAN'T STAND TRUMP, I WANT TO BE IN YOUR
TENTS, JUST DON'T PUT ME NEXT TO THE LATINOS, OR FILL IN THE
BLANK.
THIS IS KIND OF IN THE MIDDLE, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE VIEW THIS AS
MAKE OR BREAK CENTRAL.
IF YOU DON'T ALLOW WOMEN TO CHOOSE, I'VE GOT NO
INTEREST IN YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP, I DON'T WANT YOUR SUPPORT, I DON'T
WANT YOUR VOTE, I CAN'T STAND YOU.
LET'S GO TO WAR OVER THE START AND SO, IT'S NOT EASY, BUT IN MY
VIEW ñ I'M NOT SAYING IT'S AS SIMPLE AS A COUPLE PERCENTAGE
POINTS ON TAXES, BUT I WOULD PUT THAT RED LINE OF, WHERE I CAN'T
WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE ñ WITH THESE PEOPLE EVER, PRETTY FAR
OUT.
WHEN HE GETS ISSUES OF RACE, RELIGION, ETC., THAT'S WHERE I
MIGHT PUT IT, BUT WHEN I GET TO AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WHERE SOME
PEOPLE EARNESTLY BELIEVE IN BEING PRO-LIFE, I WANT TO
HELP YOU.
