Norwood, Massachusetts (CNN)When Donald Trump arrives Friday at the home of a local car dealership magnate here for an evening fundraiser, it won't just be supporters of the candidate greeting him.

NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, a group that supports abortion rights, is planning to crash the event hosted by Ernie Boch Jr. The group's political director Christian Miron said he expects at least 80 protesters to show up wearing bright purple T-shirts.

They plan to be "very loud and very visible," Miron said.

"While Donald Trump thinks that running for president is merely his own personal reality TV show, the reality is that women need access to safe, affordable reproductive health care," Miron told CNN. "Our goal tonight is to illustrate Trump's very extreme views on women's health because they're very out of step with our core values here in Massachusetts."

NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts is taking issue with Trump's stance on women's reproductive issues. The billionaire businessman was once supportive of abortion rights, but is now anti-abortion.

Trump--when he came into his press Conference essentially dismissed them.
