No celebrations today

Natasha Durand-Moulton, an eleven year Air Force veteran, isn’t proud of the nation she served. She says leaders are removing bodily autonomy. “I am not celebrating this country today. There's nothing to celebrate. This whole idea of freedom and liberty has been a consistent lie throughout history and they're proving that once again,” she says.

On Monday afternoon, Durand-Moulton joined about three dozen demonstrators at the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina to protest the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe vs. Wade. She says she’ll be back again soon to raise her voice.
