Marching for what?

I didn't know anything about this.

It's going to occur on the 21st of this month.

It about advocating for women's and children's rights.

Ahh... abortion provider support.

Thank you for the link.

No, problem.

Honestly, that part has always been a difficult spot for me because abortion is against my religion (unless done to save the mother.)

But they make other good points that I agree with, and 'Planned Parenthood' is most definitely not just an abortion clinic.

The day is tomorrow:

Here are a few things I am playing with for my signs:

"If you don't support abortion,

Don't support murdering innocents!"

And

"Muslim does NOT mean terrorist!"

I want to add something about the environment and how injustice to animals is injustice to ourselves. ?

I think this is a positive march and I'm 100% in support of the platform. I consider myself pro choice to a limit.

The only problem that I have is that this march is said to be inclusive of all women, regardless of political views BUT a pro life group of women (that are anti Trump) was disinvited.

I hate that attitude. Everyone is welcome *but only if you agree with me*

When did people become such assholes? Why is it so difficult to listen to and accept differing opinions? Why do we attack and ostracize people who don't agree with us?

I'm not talking about one person or one issue. I've noticed it everywhere.

It speaks volumes, Deedee86.

Pro-life is anti-planned parenthood.

Disinvited, indeed.
