Reply #71: This was a wonderful event.....the papers do not do it justice

I got home in time for the nightly news on the hampton roads channels. They had nothing on the news. Then I searched the internet and most of them were running the same AP story by Elizabeth xxxx

If you look at the picture we covered the whole mall space, so how many is that? A lot.

The speeches were great. Although the media focused on abortion, the story was about a much broader subject. Womens lives. Their whole life. Their reproductive rights. Their right for information. Their right to keep that information private. Their right to take out library books without being spied on. Right to education about choices. The right to have a choice beyond abstinence which is where this administration is spending all the funding that used to go to planned parenthood.

The anti abortion demonstrators only line parts of pennsylvania avenue because that is all they had a permit for. They had their typical gross pictures, and prayed, and used Christ picture to advocate their view. What I did not see, was any signs about them being annoyed with Bush for not allowing women planned parenthood, or the use of condoms in order to prevent unplanned pregnacies. They seemed to only have a partial view of the bigger picture. A very narrow judgemental view, that only God can truly judge.

I also did not see the protesters who called us murders with signs calling the the war mongers, murders. There were no pictures of the chidren or women killed in all the wars and most recently the pre emptive war of Bush's choosing.

The prochoice/prolife group, us who were marching for women's lives were interested in allowing all people choice. We are for life and allowing the anti abortionist to not have a abortion. We also are for them not wanting to use birth control or in anyway taking care of their health or the health of the women having babies.

The speakers were extraordinary. They spoke for women around the world and infered the UN resolution that did not pass because the USA did not support it. This would have allowed women in many countries access to information about parenthood, and reproductive rights. Unfortunately, the US government does not want women to be educated on how to take care of themselves.

Very informative. High spirited.
