March for Women

[ComplineSanFran]

Just over 50% of aborted babies are female, and in many areas of the world where abortion for ‘selection’ is possible the carnage is closer to 90%.

As I have said, I’ll be grateful when women stand up for the babies in the wombs as well as all the other people seen as in danger.

Many are.

Millions of women and friends of women. Have you seen the pictures from all over the world? City after city - cramming the streets in support of the rights and dignity of women. Some places - like DC, NYC, Chicago - the crowds cannot move to march to the key events. They just gather, more and more, filling the streets.

It gives one hope, as we see a sea of pink hats, that human rights and respect will prevail. I really do think that the women will not let this ‘carnage’ come to fruition. So grateful for those who march today.

I can’t figure out what they hope to accomplish. I don’t think what they are doing is going to make any difference. Better they do something constructive with their times rather than parading around in pink hats.

What rights are Trump depriving from women?

I have loads of friends who are marching around the country. My Facebook feed is crammed full of their posts. Two of them are a married lesbian couple who’ve fostered and adopted two young boys. They’re marching because they’re terrified that LGBT rights will be rolled back. Other women friends are marching because they fear that Trump’s election has normalized sexual assault of women. Some support PP and are marching against its being defunded. I don’t agree with all of these women and I’ve long since given up trying to explain to some women why being pro-life is being pro-woman. But I respect them for marching so long as they’re peaceful.

It seems if one raises a ruckus and gathers enough people, that’s considered “success”.

It’s quite laughable that they masquerade in utero murder as “reproductive justice” and “women’s health”. And yet people fall for it.

At what point did people forget to recognize reality and go for saccharine slogans and latest social fads?

But couldn’t one make the same argument about the March for Life?

I’m not sure why they think that. Trump hasn’t indicated any interest in doing so. His interests lay elsewhere. Do they think that because he ran as a Republican?

Other women friends are marching because they fear that Trump’s election has normalized sexual assault of women.

This is silly, thank you liberal media for promoting a red herring.

Some support PP and are marching against its being defunded.

PP supporters should probably be worried. The government shouldn’t be supporting abortion and that funding will probably go.

No, they think that because he made Pence his VP.

I don’t think it’s silly or a red herring, though I think women should have noticed in many other politicians a willingness to justify sexual assault before now.

I disagree. Marching, exercising the right to free speech, to gather peacefully, to speak up for wrongs that need to be righted is a time honorable tradition, and we certainly note them in our history.

I know people who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial is considered one of America’s finest. And it changed history.

Women Suffragists who marched on Washington after the Inauguration of Woodrow Wilson brought the right for women to vote.

In 1989, in China, the Tiananmen Square protests became a part of history. Those who were martyred are still in our memory.

Our voices and presence makes a difference. Please don’t ever deny anyone the right to protest where we see wrong. Or denigrate those who do.

But what exactly are they marching for? Abortion rights?

The pop artist Madonna said she thought about blowing up the White House, and the crowd cheered. Ashley Judd ranted something obscene about Trump’s daughter. The pink hats are euphemisms for vulgarity.

The difference between the marches you mention above and this disaster is that the purpose of this women’s pro-death march is to throw a temper tantrum because Hillary lost.

The crowd is protesting something apparently.

Which is what exactly?

 

[gracepoole]

You mean the same vulgarity that Trump used?

 

[EIF5A]

You mean the same vulgarity that Trump used?

He did use that term. No one is squeaky, and he doesn’t advocate for violence against women, a manufactured excuse to hate.

But why “celebrate” vulgarity out in the open?

If the leftists had truth and reason on their side, they wouldn’t have to resort to cheap tactics to get heard.

What are they marching for? Does anyone know? Other than PP defunding, what are they fearful of?

 

[sallybutler]

Same in my old stomping grounds. The march for life took place at 10 a.m., and the women’s march at 1 p.m. (the latter with a lot of pink hats. And fond as I am of knitting, and of pink, and of kitties–I refuse to use the term which has become co-opted as a vulgar epithet–this is one hat that I will never knit, or wear. )

. I knit, although I like crocheting more. I have a cat, Peaches. I hate that term and have for decades, it was considered vulgar before I was born. The British comedy show, Are You Being Served? used it in a running gag that always made me cringe.

 

[Hoosier_Daddy]

You mean in private?

I say a lot of things in private that I wouldn’t put on a hat or shirt.

Vulgarity and all manner of rudeness is apparently part and parcel of being politically incorrect, something to be proud of. If you tell me a word is offensive, all the more reason to use it rather than give into the word/thought police. It is as if we’ve become a nation of 5 year-olds who get a kick out of using naughty words.

Note that I see evidence of this on all sides of any issue. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, etc. Here on CAF, although somewhat muted (THANK YOU MODERATORS), on prime time TV, on cable (especially on cable).

Unfortunately, private no longer means what it used to (if it ever did). And as my mother once told me, if you would be ashamed to have your gg-grandparents or your gg-grandchildren, the pope, or someone else read it on the front page, or you wouldn’t say it in front of a tape recorder (aka a 3 year-old) perhaps you should re-think saying or writing it. It’s probably why I never kept a diary

 

[starshiptrooper]

He mentioned being against porn. Isn’t that a good thing?

Porn has deleterious effects on men. The only reason the issue gets any attention is because it supposedly objectifies women or some such Feminist malarkey.

So if it weren’t for the deleterious effect on men, you’d be okay with pornography? :banghead:

 

[Vanny]

If you follow any of these celebrities, it’s clear that they were at this level long before Trump’s twitter blew up.

My own 2cents this march lost all credibility for me when The New Wave feminists and other pro-life groups were disinvited.
Why?

 

[Estevao]

What amazes me is how liberals now constantly talk about how afraid they supposedly are. I seem to remember one of their idols say “we have nothing to fear but fear itself” but it seems the left no longer believes in that.
