Lynchburg, VA — In the ostensible land of the free, you are not free to do with your body what you see fit.

Gastonia, NC — Joshua Rohrer is an honorably discharged Army veteran who, like tens of thousands of other veterans, is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after serving in Afghanistan.
