<p>that doesn't make any sense when this is happening right now. And you know like why do I need to be at school? Why do I need to be at school Unless I'm just going there to be like a human target. Why am I going there unless I'm basically going to be to a shooting range to be shot and killed? I don't think that you can say that you are supporting abortion rights right now, if you are sitting at home and doing absolutely not, you cannot be torn up and you can't you can't cry and say, oh no. Why why are abortion rights being taken away from us if you're sitting at home or being like out with your friends or whatever? Because I know that I know that some people are and I know that some people that you shouldn't have to This isn't something I'm 13. This is not something that I should have to be doing or that I should have. I'm not planning on having an abortion, but I'm here for people that do need abortions because it's not just about fighting for abortion rights back. It's not being angry because every minute right now a woman is dying because she has to give she's being forced to give birth like this. Like bro has already been overturned. Its we're fighting because there are women dying right now we're not fighting for our future. We're fighting for our present right now. Hey, everybody All right. So I was just in DC fighting for the last week for women's rights, for your rights? The rights of women who don't have a voice anymore. After this decision when we were there, I'm gonna step up. When we were there we had Christians, Evangelists spitting on us while we walked, going around in cars. An 80 year old man went around in the car six times going killer, killer like a six year old. Are you kidding me? I had a woman come out to the edge when we were solemnly walking a solemn, quiet, slow walk. And they got all their Children, all their two Children that they probably didn't adopt. Oh and raise them up Simba style and said, look at these women memorize their evil faces. They are going to help you memorize their faces. That's what she told our Children about us. That is not jesus. Is this Now? What we need to do is take back. We are now under a law that is governed by the opinion of a minority religion, separation of surgeons, like private things that have punctured in them. That means our calls are medical records, all that ship that can all be in. Do you understand what that means? Making a woman's body illegal inherently? And then arresting her forehead. Then taking her voice by making her a felon. Then reducing our numbers Below 50% of the voice and they will rule forever. Thank you. Okay. Hi, my name is jake. All right. Can y'all hear me? My name is jade and I am a high school teacher. I have taught in texas and I've taught in new york. My students in texas are freaking out right now. They called me yesterday. They are in tears. I don't know if you know this, but they're trying to pass a line taxes that would give women the death penalty for having an abortion. These are the same people that claim to be pro life. You are not your pro birth. You're pro forcing women to have kids that they do not want or cannot have. I had an abortion three years ago and it saved my life my entire life. I got pregnant. I have a compromised immune system by four weeks of pregnancy was killing me without this. Right? I would not be here talking to you today. You're every single woman uterus in this country regains the right to have a safe abortion in this country. Hi, Everyone uh, protested and the W. N. B. A. Game played center. I don't know. We weren't protecting. The players were trying to find you, all of you. People that saw that that there are so many things you can do. I was really cold. Right? I went, I was topless. I painted green. I emulated with those women in Colombia. That way. Those symbols are everywhere. We need them everywhere. Oh, sorry. We need them everywhere. Okay. So there's a lot of that was a very cold. But there are other ways. So obviously here where one of these everywhere you go that is wear one around, we're gonna see each other and we're gonna know we support each other and it's gonna tell the people in power, they're gonna see our numbers to, they're also gonna see how many of us are around. Oh my gosh! Another one with the green bandana. Another one, another one. I worked in a union for a very long time. And it is a tactic like unions use, you use little symbols and numbers because management, they watch, they look that's on a micro level, but it works and they take and they know how strong you are when it's time for a strike. They know who are the people that are gonna rise up like us, right? Are we gonna rise up please? Wherever scrunchie anything just everywhere you go, talk to everyone. You know, it's so important. We can't let people forget about it disrupt everything. I went to the bar play center, I dragged out. It was difficult, but it was on social media. I shared with friends. I talked to people strangers. I'm talking to you. It makes a difference. The big and small things make a difference. So I hope you guys will take that away and thank you so much for coming out. Okay, my name is Isabella, I'm from. Ohio. Not from here. Um, But when I was 14 I was in a relationship for almost seven months by a man who did not respect my boundaries sexually and I ended up being pregnant and I had a miscarriage at 14 And they're saying that if this had been in place then I would be considered a felon at 14 years old. All because I didn't know how to leave an abusive relationship with and that's sucked. And I'm not gonna stand for it and neither should you you my brother or husband or uncles or fathers, you need to explain to them exactly why men need to be standing beside us because it is men that they hang out with, that they go to the bar with that have these opinions that the Supreme Court has and that is the reason that there is no change yet because there's not enough of the population that sees the problem and it's not just because they want babies, they want a workforce. They are we are not talking animals, we are mammals but we are not animals. We are human beings that we deserve to be treated just like that. Right? What are we going to do to protect the rights of people like fella? We are going to stand up and fight back stand up, fight back third time speaking, but I just want to say and I'm gonna be fully honest with you, I'm kind of shaking with rage right now. I'm so upset. I don't understand, I understand I understand what's happening here. Um it's sad. It really is, it's about control, it's about control. And they are pushing us back so far farther than when this. Then when we got this rule further than that, they're pushing us way further than that. They're treating us in mainly. It's so upsetting. I didn't even introduce myself. My name is Malia. I'm 16. I'm a high school student uptown. I actually came here alone. Um even after informing people about what's going on here, I hear it really is upsetting. I've never been in a situation where I had to get an abortion, but I've been in situations where you feel oppressed where you're trapped in these relationships and situations that you can't control in situations where people do not help you. There's so many people who are aware of what's happening but ignore it. They just completely ignore it because it doesn't matter to them because it doesn't affect them personally. And it's sad. It really is. If you're hearing this, if you have people around you, please share what you can if you see that there's someone that needs help do what you can please because this is not something to be taken lightly, it's an attack on everyone and we need to band together to protect each other. Yeah. Yeah. Um Hi everybody, I'm Florence and I'm 17 years old and my biggest issue should be worrying about the s A. T S and college applications. Yesterday I woke up to a different reality. My biggest issue should not be worrying about abortion rights or if I should get shoot on my way to school or even at school. That shouldn't be my big concern. But the scariest part is that yesterday when the news came out and I turned to my friend, she even batted an eye. It was so expected. Like none of us were surprised and that's the issue. We have become so numb to these horrible, horrible issues that we just start like turning away from them. So I just want to say that we can't stop protesting. We cannot stop not signing petitions, keep protesting and keep signing these petitions. We can't back down. We might keep fighting thing. Yeah. My name is India and I'm rise up for abortion rights. I'm 14. I should be worrying about my freshman year of high school. But yesterday at my middle school graduation I found out about the news. I was angry. I was disappointed in what this country has become. I'm shocked that guns have more rights than I do and what I did. I came out here. I immediately reached out to Emma I can help organize what we had yesterday. I found Lola and I, we helped lead yesterday's protest. It was insane. And I'm asking everyone everyone everyone in their apartments, everyone who's here to continue coming out. People that have not came out and I'm asking you to come out. We're green march with us and help us get the federal government to interfere Because this is disappointing. And I in stock. Ooh, like said yesterday after our graduation, we showed up here, we had parties with our friends to go to, but we were here. You do not get to cry on your couch. You do not get to tweet about how sad you are about your praying for the women in this country. Will you sit and do nothing? Because the government isn't scared of your tweets. The government is scared of a presence and our presence is what we will give them. I it is my first day of summer break. And I am here. I will be here tomorrow. I will be here until my rights are back. My body. Whoo! Hi! Nice. Yeah. I just finished my ninth grade year and I have had a lot going on. But this is crazy. I remember one year ago I was writing an essay about abortion because I had to choose uh divisive topic. And it doesn't make sense how divisive because all the facts point towards being pro choice and human compassion towards being pro choice. There is no reason why we should be divided. We need to educate people and we need to get our streets, We need to get our rights back. You. Hi, I'm back. Um, I just wanted to say that I'm tired of this bullshit. I'm tired of people saying he didn't know any better because I know that even in situations that don't evolve rape or don't evolve abortion rights in any situation, I hear at least at least maybe three times a week. He didn't know any better or he doesn't know any better. It is bullshit. And I'm tired of hearing that because we're letting all the facts out. We're showing you exactly what is happening. And if you still don't know any better, then that's not not knowing any better. That's just that's just like completely ignoring and completely disregarding the fact that people are dying, the fact that people are getting the fact that people are in hospitals, the fact that women are getting that women can be raped. And that's just okay because this, this isn't just abortion rights. It's every right for a minority because our goal is not to populate, populate the humans and then, you know, try and get like, try and kill off all the lower class or lower middle class people. So that's what's happening right now. And I'm tired of that. I'm tired of hearing he didn't know any better. He, you know, he wasn't told about this because he was he just completely ignored it. That's what's happening. So just don't like listen, that's all you have to do. Listen, we're not even asking you to lie on the floor and bloody pants or anything, all we're asking you to do is listen. And if you decide to make your choice, own your choice and if you own your choice, we are going to yell at you and we are going to scream at you, but at least have the balls to own it. All right, Clap your hands like this. This decision will not send legal abortion throughout the land. This decision must not stand legal. A portion of the land. Off your tweets into the streets, your tweets into the streets, illegitimate force, illegitimate. Your tweets into the streets, your tweets into the streets. All right, listen, we keep gathering more and more people. We keep getting larger. I don't know about you, but I keep getting angrier and angrier. I keep getting more and more determined. I keep feeling instead of feeling despair and still feeling frustration. I'm feeling our power. How about you? I let me tell you this these reporters. They were asking me how did it feel when the decision came out? I want you all the shadow word of how it felt when the decision came out angry. I heard I heard a lot of things. Listen, I want you all at some point to come up and you got to say how you feel because it's giving us strength together. We come from different perspectives. We have different life stories and all of us together. Our powers together. Our powers together from our different walks of life. We don't agree on everything. We're gonna have a lot of debates about things, but this is what we agree on nationwide abortion legal for everybody in this country in a state and a state and a court that would turn women's wombs into places of surveillance, criminalizing women is illegitimate and we don't have to accept it. And so we are calling and hammering on this over and over. But what is our demand? Who knows what our demand is today? Uh que the federal government, the federal government, I'm not gonna let you distract me. You ain't nothing but a few few few fools like this are sitting on the Supreme Court and they're making choices for our bodies in our lives and we're not gonna let that happen, are we? And so let me tell you this. Our demand is that the federal government reinstitute abortion nationwide. Now, joe biden in the White House, I don't want to hear any more of your crocodile tears. These democrats haven't done ship around abortion. They have let this go on and yes, okay, you wanna go ahead and vote. But if that's all you're doing, if you're telling people to sit at home and wait till november, you are complicit in forced motherhood, you are allowing the Supreme Court to deem women as incubators and you know what today, it's abortion rights. But you know what they're coming for next. They already have it on the docket, it's birth control, gay marriage, trans rights. This is everybody's fight. And so I want you all now for you to get out your, get out your camera and post this on your story. We got to get people out here. We're gonna do a chant together and people can post it on their stories. Get a lot more people out here and then we're gonna hear from some more speakers. We're staying here because as we're staying here we're gathering people. This needs to grow, this needs to grow to such a point where these democrats feel that if they take this right away.</p>

I'm meteorologist, Amy Wilma in the WRL severe weather center, we had a dry warm day today, but a cold front is off to the west of us and it arrives tomorrow and brings the potential for some scattered showers and some thunderstorms. It's a pretty potent system today with a level three out of five risk for part of the Midwest. But the severe weather will be moving eastward as this cold front moves eastward as well. And we'll have the risk for severe storms tomorrow. Although the storm energy will not be as high tomorrow as it is today. There's a lot of storm energy west of us today and that's why they have that higher risk for severe storms. But as this system moves closer to North Carolina, it does weaken. We could still have some isolated severe storms but we have weak to moderate energy. We don't have the strong energy that they have west of us today. So it's a level one risk for most of us Friday. This is in the afternoon and evening. So isolated severe storms possible. The biggest threat will be some damaging winds and a potential for some hail as Well, the first half of the day is dry, so no rain worries for the morning commute. But by the time we get to the afternoon and evening, that's when we'll have scattered showers and storms and any of the storms that do form could become severe. And our highest rain chances are right during the evening commute. So about a 40% chance for rain tomorrow as we move ahead to Saturday, only a slim chance for a shower, a 20% chance for rain. But then a decent chance for rain on Sunday, we don't expect storms, but mainly the second half of our Sunday will have some scattered showers and it will be a cooler day. Here's a look at the rain over the weekend again, just a slim chance for rain on Saturday. Otherwise partly to mostly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low to mid seventies. Sunday morning looks mainly dry with a little bit of rain over some of our southern counties. But then as we head toward the afternoon, a better chance for rain, especially south and east of the triangle. And then during the evening is when some of that rain lifts to the north and includes a good part of the viewing area on Sunday. So the second half of the day certainly looks like the wettest part of the day, still warm Friday with a high of 84. And then we're down into the mid seventies Saturday, high temperatures will be in the low to mid sixties for Sunday and Monday with some chilly mornings, Monday morning and Tuesday morning. Down into the forties, we warm back up next week though. 74 on Tuesday, 78 Wednesday and near 70 for a high temperature on Thursday.
