Kip Howell holds a sign reading, "Forced birth in a country with the highest [maternal] mortality rate, no paid maternity, no universal subsidized childcare, no continued birth parent care, and frequently inaccessible mental health care. - Tocarra Mallard."
"I feel that because they have decided this is not, like, a right under the constitution, this gives way for a lot of other issues. Especially, since they say, like, this is not, like constitutionally worth it for privacy specifically. Um, it gives way for them to attack things like gay marriage rights and many other things. So, I feel that it’s my civic duty to come here and protest."

Jan Runbeck, RN and Mike Mowat hold sign, made by Planned Parenthood, together reading "Protect safe, legal abortion."
"My aunt was orphaned uh, at about six months of age when her mother, uh, had, and we don’t know if it was self-induced abortion or if she went to a, uh, alley abortionist, was found dead on the kitchen floor in a puddle of blood from the fact that she knew she had more children than the family could support. So, uh, that’s the personal story, but I’m also a public health nurse and demographically, when women have access to abortion, they have better long-term outcomes, society has better outcomes as far as literacy rate, poverty rates, health rates, and all that. So, from a public health long-term perspective, it’s better for society, and individually, um, my aunt would have had a much better life, had she had a mother." - Jan Runbeck, RN
"I’m just generally opposed to taking advantage of people or keeping people down, I mean there’s a huge movement all over the world and all through history of keeping uh people down, so we have low wages, people without rights, so even in our own constitution, which they use as a preface for-for overturning Roe vs. Wade, women had no rights at that time. So if they can take away those particular rights, they can take away all the rest of them." - Mike Mowat

"We’ve seen the reality of what happens to people who want to make their voices heard, call for justice whether it be peacefully or otherwise, we have seen that when that runs counter to what the state’s interests are, they are silenced one way or another. And our presence is hopefully at least a small deterrent if nothing else. We’re a symbol of security to the people that are here to make them feel like they can engage with their community and be heard without fear of retribution."

Part of Radio Tacoma Programs
In this episode of The Cannabis Corner, Lukas and Dig get the show started talking about the show being found in the Tacoma Public Library Special Collections as well as an announcement about two other Radio Tacoma shows and a thank you to Suzanne Skaar for the new show logo. The news section start with an FDA warning to parents to watch out for brand name candy; THC look alikes, followed by a chat about Miami's first dispensary, a New York Senator's proposal for community cannabis gardens, Zimbabwe's announcement on building a $27 million medical cannabis facility and, lastly, Thailand passing out 1 million cannabis plants. Next, Michael Sassano of Somai Pharmaceuticals is interviewed and shares his thoughts on Germany's health minister embracing adult use cannabis, countries like Zimbabwe becoming large scale cannabis producers and gives some insights on the question "How can cannabis pharmaceuticals and traditional/legacy cannabis coexist." And finally, It's a Bust travels back down to Alabama where a CBD store was raided despite the police knowing if the material seized was over the 0.3% THC threshold. Dig helps out and provides the number to a tip line set up by police given in the article.
