Thanks again to @cassie4council @jecoreyarthur @BillHollander @CouncilmanJames and the other 10 who voted to protect the universal rights of freedom of movement and access to healthcare. The @LouSafetyZone was never about abortion - it is about safety. (1/2)

Never think that speaking up and advocating for change can’t make a difference. Thank you to the @LouSafetyZone advocates who showed up meeting after meeting and helped Louisville join the ranks of cities across the U.S.-from Pittsburgh to Boulder to Pensacola-with safety zones.

.@BillHollander speaks to Dr. Fitzgerald, anesthesiologist, noting the stress that patients face from physical confrontations and the adverse consequences before a procedure that impact patient health.

Update: @CMPiagentini doesn’t have any idea what he’s saying 😂

[Louisville Safety Zone @LouSafetyZone]

.@CMPiagentini asks for more police presence at EMW. A bright line on the sidewalk would help law enforcement.

[Louisville Safety Zone @LouSafetyZone]

@CMPiagentini “FREE. NINETY. FREE.” trying to spin the ordinance into an abortion issue, and negating the safety hazard at Market Street.
