We are back on the bus and leaving the heart of Bucks County, after an amazing rally outside of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick's Langhorne, PA office – a rep. who voted against women's interest in the U.S. House last month.
It was a warm and spirited crowd on a cold and cloudy morning. Students drove in all the way from Reading, PA, carrying signs that read: "Mike Fitzpatrick doesn't speak for my rights!” Longtime Board members and volunteers from Bucks County swapped stories and waved posters in support of women's health, and around 50 people stood shoulder-to-shoulder to show their commitment to caring for women in Bucks County and throughout the state.
Maggie Groff, public affairs director for Southeast Pennsylvania and Bucks County, opened and closed this energetic event. Bethann Morgan, clinician in Bucks County, told of her work with thousands of patients in the county. Amy told her own story of being a patient, and spoke movingly of the caring and professional care she received at her local Planned Parenthood's health centers.
We are now on Interstate 476 heading north to Syracuse for this afternoon's big event at 3:15pm. Honk if you see us on the road, Facebook or Tweet us if you are at work and can't join.
We are thrilled to be advocates for the truth and can feel all of you with us as we make this journey in support of the women of this country.
