A man wearing an official FDNY Ladder 58 jacket has sparked a social media brouhaha after shouting “Your body is mine” and “You’re having my baby” at abortion rights protesters – prompting the fire department to deny on Twitter that he is a member.
The footage emerged over the weekend, showing the man standing on the steps of Old St Patrick’s Cathedral, a Catholic Church in lower Manhattan, as activisits chanted and waved signs outside. Some clips show the man – who is also wearing an “America First” hat – praying the rosary with at least a dozen other people; the viral footage, however, shows him standing with just three other men and ranting at the crowd.
