Last month the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling overturned Roe vs Wade, and ended the right for millions of women to get critical medical care (that care being blocked includes, but is not limited, to abortions) and threatening additional rights all Americans currently enjoy. In the days that followed I joined a small but vocal group of people from Aiken calling for protection of the rights of women’s and others. It’s taken me a few weeks to get these pictures off my camera and posted, but I did want to get them up for anyone who is interested. There are people in South Carolina who dissent.

This was a powerful read. Living in Aiken, I’ve seen firsthand how divided opinions can be on the topic, but it’s so important to have these conversations. The way you highlighted the local community’s reactions really hit home. I’m curious, how has the atmosphere in Aiken evolved since this was published? Are there any new initiatives or groups in town working to foster dialogue on this topic? 💬 It can feel pretty tense here sometimes, but I hope we can keep working toward more understanding and respect for different views. Thanks for sharing this perspective!
