BBC:
Some demonstrators tied themselves to the White House fence, risking arrest
An estimated 10,000 people gathered from across the US, organisers said.
Lauren Pierce, 33, an attorney from Dallas, was among them, travelling some 1,300 miles (2,100km) to attend the demonstration.
„There’s nothing, to me, more worth fighting for than this cause – our fundamental right to have bodily autonomy,“ she said. „If that means taking up space and getting arrested then I think it’s worth it.“
These women and men are unafraid, and they are ungovernable. You might think they are governable, but if you think that, you’re wrong. They are ungovernable. They are so ungovernable, in fact, that they have gone to the White House, residence of the head of the executive branch of government to loudly shout that they don’t care about the government they’ve gone to the center of to declare their lack of interest. Some of these people are so ungovernable that they have taken the radical step of tying themselves to the White House fence, impeding access to that fence for anyone who might want to climb over at that point. They might face arrest, fines, possibly even a few days in jail, but these possible penalties are worth the powerful statement made by loudly tying oneself to a fence. These are some pissed people. They will take up space. The powers that be may not want that space taken up, but these are ungovernable people. They will take up space. They will take up space, they will wear green, and they will be ungovernable.
