March for Women's Lives: Largest, EVER
cobalt123 20:18h


Although the conventional mainstream (corporate-owned) largely ignored the March for Women's Lives held yesterday in Washington, it appears that this event was the largest march EVER in Washington, D.C. Sunday I could find some stories on network TV, some comment in NPR radio broadcasting, but little online or in print media. Tonight I saw that Fox news anchor Hannety-something-or-other smirking at a few clips of the speakers and the crowd. When the president of NOW came on in split-screen for an "interview", he asked her first, "Why are they always so ANGRY?" Same smirk. What a disgusting display of chauvinism combined with conservative right wing political background in a "news anchor". Tell me if you don't think that this is another version of women as "bitches"!

On a positive note, it was great to hear Ashley Judd screaming out to the White House "Tell 1600 Avenue and President Bush GET YOUR LAWS OFF OUR BODIES!"

Comments from Kelpie Wilson from the Truthout site:

"Carol Mosely Brown just told us that we have made history today. This is the biggest march ever in DC."

"One of the most exciting things about the march is the emphasis on total choice - not just access to contraceptives and abortion. Speaker after speaker is saying we must have reproductive justice. We must end poverty because women who have no economic opportunities have no choice. It's incredible here, people as far as eye can see and so many young people, women and men. We are the future."
April 25, Largest march in Washington D.C. in history! March for Women's Lives

"Cameron Mannheim: “I hope John Ashcroft is listening because YOU are a direct threat to his vision of America. And Bush, you better beware. When women vote, Democrats win!”
“Women's :Health, Not Corporate Wealth.”

“Not the Church, not the State. Women should decide their fate.”

And what have we here? Bellydancers for Peace and Justice.fabulous! They are singing:
“1,2,3,4-patriarchy's at the door. 4,5,6,8- stop the patriarchal state.”
