APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – People are protesting the possible end of Roe v. Wade all around the country, including here at home.
Add Emily Voight to that list.
“I am a mom, I have three kids,” said Voight. “I believe that a woman’s right to chose what to do with her own body is between her and her physician.”
Signs people brought from their homes read if you don’t stand for all freedom, you stand for none, and women’s rights are human rights
Voight says men can do whatever they want with their bodies, and it should be the same for women.
“I want to protect other women too. They should all have the right to choose and do what they want with their bodies”
Not everyone shares the same thought.
Pro Life Wisconsin Communications Director Anna DeMeuse says they would love to see a full overturn of Roe v. Wade.
“Laws matter and I think as a nation we have to enshrine the right to life for all of our human persons and that begins at conception.”
Dozens gathered on the corner of Appleton street and West College avenue, advocating for a woman’s right to choose. Including some men.
John Fease says he’s standing up for quality and affordable health care for women.
If the ruling is overturned, Fease says he wont stop fighting.
“It’s not like I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and if they stop it I’ll just figure it out. There are a number of efforts to assure that poor women can have the same access as wealthy women.”
DeMeuse says every human life has dignity, and our laws should reflect that.
