Cynthia Glazier said she was angry at the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Comments in a Big Rapids community Facebook page made her want to take action.
“It’s none of my business whether you’re pro-choice or pro-life,” she said. “It’s also none of my business what you do with your body.”
“I’m pro-freedom, which is what this country is founded on. Independence Day celebrates that, and I want people to realize the freedom to own their own bodies," she added.
But the response has made her reconsider making plans public.
“I’ve been a little concerned for my safety due to a few of the comments," she said. "I decided most people are keyboard warriors and I’m the one who decided to make this a public thing, so I need to stand behind it.”
She’ll be meeting at Sawmill Saloon with other protestors on Sunday to make signs and get ready for the Monday protest, she said. Because of the recent threats, she said she’s not yet revealing where her protest will be held.
