Big marches in dc and around the country. This one is called women workers rising. They are demanding equal pay for equal work, as well as an end to Workplace Violence and harassment. But as we say, this is one of at least two big events that happened in dc today for a day without a woman. [chanting] reporter about 1000 women marched from Freedom Plaza to the white house. They are fighting what abortion Rights Groups call the global gag rule. President trumps executive order cuts aid to any group that counsels women on abortions. Andrea littlejohn says she flew i believe in standing up for the right for myself, every woman ive come in contact with. Reporter eleanor of the feminist majority says the gag rule will cost thousands of women in the developing world their lives. Will not be able to tell patients the truth or give them accurate medical information. Reporter for stay at home mom elizabeth garcia, the march was a chance to share her values with her toddler. We are all equal. Reporter tourists took pictures and sounded skeptical. Our place today is to be in the workplace working and what are we teaching our Young Children today by protesting and marching and not going to work . Reporter local teachers say by marching they are teaching their students to be good citizens. I would never teach without modeling it first for my students. Its my job to teach my students to stand up for themselves. To advocate for their rights and to be good humans. Reporter so i streamed the first event on Facebook Live and got slapped with a huge dose of division. Just hundreds and hundreds of really nasty comments urging these women, they said, go back to work. Thats what they said. You can imagine got just as passionate responses from the supporters of these womens day without a woman event. Live in dc, bruce leshan, wusa9. Everybodys got an opinion and they arent afraid to share it. Thank you. A day without a woman has been trending all day on twitter and facebook. Here are some of your comments.

Chief meteorologist topper shutt tracking colder air out there on the terrace. Yeah, absolutely. Monday it looked like a good snow for us on sunday. Tuesday, not so much. Today, looks to me like the snow is going to go south of us. The arctic air is going to plummet further south. This is going to be serious air. Probably the coldest weve seen since early january. The area of low pressure still developed in west tennessee or mississippi. Takes a farther track than we talked about yesterday. Now the Northern Edge of the precipitation probably into the northern neck, maybe into southern maryland. Thats it. Then it moves out so the prospect of seeing measurable snow here is really, really low. Lets talk about the percentages again with this updated a little bit. Heres what were thinking now. In terms of seeing snow flakes, well leave it at 20 . We could see a few snow flakes, especially south of town. In terms of measurable snow, 10 . In terms of a total miss, thats up to 60 . The six out of ten times this storm will stay south of us and give us nothing. Heres something were sure about though. Arctic air, were 100 sure that is coming in. Well be back. Might be surprised how cold its going to be over the weekend. Theres another winter problem on the map for next week. Well talk about that. All right, top. Weve learned that a fox attacked an elderly woman in fairfax county. That fox has tested positive for rabies. That fox tried to attack a couple and their cat. The couple was able to catch the fox before it struck again. Reporter this couple had to sticks, kicking it until they got it in this cage. They tell me that if they hadnt captured the fox they had a feeling it would have attacked someone else. These are the pictures of the rabid fox right before it was euthanized by animal control. Its those teeth animal was on one mission. To attack people. Reporter that this family will never forget. All of a sudden i saw the cat and the fox fighting, not right here. Reporter at the time patricia had no idea this fox had attacked a 71yearold woman. The fox bit the elderly womans arm, legs and hands during the attack. She had they couldnt have stitched her up. She had chunks missing from her lower limbs. Reporter the fox came here to chesapeake drive. Wanting to protect their cat they battled the fox. A fox whose mouth was dripping with blood. Kicked it. I didnt think that i could even have approached it but i did. It just stood there and kept coming back. Vicious. Was trying to attack. At the same time, very innocent looking but it was trying to grab you. Enjoyed biting. The couple did their best to kick the fox and even used sticks. Right here. Thats where he fell. It wasnt until he got a big log like this from back there. I just throw it. It hit him right on the side. The fox got dazed. The couple used a raccoon cage to capture the fox. Heres the open cage. Reporter the rabies explains why the fox was so aggressive and they say fox attacks only happen a few times a year in the county. A beautiful animal that the family hopes again. Once it open the mouth and showed those teeth that were trying to grab you and the blood dripping off of them, it was just scary. Reporter animal control says theres not really much you can do in a situation like this but if youre ever walking in the woods or a wooded area they advise you bring a stick with you so you have something to fight an animal off with. Since the fox tested positive for rabies, the elderly victim will have to be treated. The cat was unharmed but shell have to be quarantined between 45 and 180 days if shes not vaccinated.
