GREENSBORO— Bright orange signs, sneakers and T-shirts flooded the streets of downtown Greensboro on Saturday as activists walked for women's rights.

Dozens of people showed their solidarity for abortion rights and the services provided by Planned Parenthood. Activist Tiffany Matheson helped organize the Walk for Choice Rally in Greensboro. The rally is one of many peaceful protests going on nationwide in response to the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act."

"I don't think that there's anything more personal that you own than your body. These are your organs," said Matheson.

The House recently passed the amendment that will prohibit organizations like Planned Parenthood from receiving Title X family planning funding.

"I think it's a very complicated and conservative based strategy that is going on these days and they have targeted Planned Parenthood because of its stance on abortion," said walker Lois Roewade.

Walkers said the legislation will cut a number of services from the organization that are vital for many women.

"The fact that Planned Parenthood has been around for so long and it provides so many services and it's the first line of defense for a lot of women and to have that stripped away was horrifying and outraging," said walker Scott Trent.

While protestors at the rally hope to sway legislators, pro-life supporters said the changes are long overdue.

"If the government wants to cut off money for abortion for a certain organization, then that's what they should do and that's what they did," said David Hains, with the Diocese of Charlotte. "It's unfair for anybody to be funding the killing of an innocent human being."

However, the walkers participating in Greensboro and thousands more across the country said the funding is essential to preserving human rights and they say even after the walk ends, their fight will continue.

"This is crunch time. It's time to go out and make your voice heard and not let this thing go," said Trent.

At least 40 Walk for Choice rallies were held throughout the country. There were also walks planned in Toronto and the United Kingdom.
