WASHINGTON — A Southwest Airlines flight
transporting a number of men and women to the “Women’s March” on
Washington on Thursday reportedly turned the cabin lights pink to show
support for those attending the event, which was largely pro-abortion
and feminist.
“Southwest turns on the pink lights and a loud cheer erupts.
#WomensMarch” Jennifer Moran, who was aboard the flight, Tweeted,
sharing a photo of the illuminated cabin.
Passenger Krystal Parrish likewise posted a photo to Instagram
writing, “When your Southwest flight crew celebrate a plane full of
[expletive] women and men going to the Women’s March by lighting it
up!!”
Southwest Airlines has since released a statement outlining that the
move wasn’t a company effort, but that individual flights often change
the lighting as a statement of support for passengers.

“While we’re unaware of details surrounding a specific flight, our
flight crews celebrate, commemorate, acknowledge and share in special
moments with our customers all the time,” it said.
“Some of our aircraft are equipped with mood lighting and while this
was not a companywide initiative, at times, our flight crews will adjust
the lighting for a customer or group of customers traveling on their
flight,” the company explained. “For example, in October, one of our
flight crews changed the lighting to honor a breast cancer survivor
onboard their flight.”
According to reports, hundreds of thousands attended the march in
Washington, which included speeches and appearances from secular
celebrities such as Madonna, Cher, Alicia Keyes, Katy Perry, Miley
Cyrus, Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, Whoopie Goldberg, Scarlett Johannson,
Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Drew Barrymore, Lena Dunham, Vanessa
Hudgens, and many others.

Some held signs such as, “We deserve to be sexual and serious, or
whatever we please,” “I stand with Planned Parenthood,” “Our bodies, our
minds, our power” and “I am woman, hear me roar.” Some were too
explicit or profane to repost—using profanity or vulgarity—and some
referred to President Trump as the “predator in chief.”
Cecile Richards, the president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was one of the speakers at the event.
“For the majority of people in this country, Planned Parenthood is
not the problem, we’re the solution,” she claimed. “My pledge today is:
our doors stay open.”
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Tweeted in
support of the march, writing, “Thanks for standing, speaking &
marching for our values @womensmarch. Important as ever. I truly believe
we’re always stronger together.”
But a number of women who identify as “pro-life feminists” also took
to the streets of Washington to counter the abortion advocacy message,
holding banners and signs such as “Abortion betrays women” and “Real
feminists reject abortion.” The Huffington Post reports that some
attendees cussed at the pro-life women, while others thanked them for
their participation.
In addition to support for abortion, which was characterized as
“reproductive rights,” other platforms for marchers included immigration
rights, environmental justice and “LGBTQIA rights.”
“We firmly declare that LGBTQIA rights are human rights and that it
is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay,
lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and
siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from
gender norms, expectations and stereotypes,” the website for the event
reads.

Similar marches were stated to have been held in cities across the nation, as well as internationally.
One of the event organizers, Linda Sarsour, is a Muslim and Planned
Parenthood supporter. Sarsour, who serves as the executive director of
the Arab American Association of New York, posted prior to the event,
“God be a fence around the #womensmarch tomorrow. May God protect our
marchers, may He envelope us in His love and mercy.”
