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

While I wish they had not been dis-invited, perhaps it was an effort to protect them. Which also annoys me that people with differing opinions in some areas canā€™t work together in others.

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

On CAF (and in Kansas) I am a flaming liberal. I am no more afraid than the right were with Obama.

Actually, anytime I get too worried, I remind myself that I have indoor plumbing, WiFi, live in the best country ever (sorry to those of you who live elsewhere šŸ˜ƒ ), donā€™t have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, and am allowed to whine about anything I want to whine about.

So if it werenā€™t for the deleterious effect on men, youā€™d be okay with pornography? :banghead:

Then it would be a womenā€™s issue and there are plenty of Feminists without something useful to do as evidenced by this march.
 
It amazes me that many protestors protesting Trump I have seen reported, are so reminiscent of those we used to see in the Middle East during Obamaā€™s Administration in the earlier years, burning cars and things, riot squads having to be formed and things being thrown at one another.

If Protestors are burning cars, burning the American flag, burning images of Trump and things like that in their protest of Trump, they are hardly peaceful and they can hardly liken themselves to MLK and the like.

I hope this has helped

God Bless

Thank you for reading
Josh

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 weā€™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).

Itā€™s called ā€œvulgarā€ for a reason. The flaunting of immodesty of sexual nature.

Not something to promote and celebrate.

Has nothing to do with political in/correctness.

I am totally not getting your point.

In my opinion, pornography is bad. Full stop. There is no reason for it. It hurts those who make it. It hurts those who view it. There is no socially redeeming value to it.

Perhaps this is because I am female. Perhaps it is because I am Catholic. I donā€™t know.

I doubt they were interested in their safety.

Feminism Today = Abortion on demand, no exception, no apology.

P.S. because making comments on CAF is more useful. Perhaps you and I are indulging in behavior that is just as useless.

I stand corrected. Thank you.

Thatā€™s extremely disappointing. I was under the impression the march was for all women. I guess everybodyā€™s got their sacred cow. It really does stink being a pro-life progressive, nobody likes us.

I like you! šŸ‘ šŸ˜ƒ

Youā€™ve found the ā€œsweet spotā€ every Catholic should ideally aspire for. Consequently, its no small wonder that you may face persecution from both sides.

Chin up!

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 Americaā€™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 donā€™t ever deny anyone the right to protest where we see wrong. Or denigrate those who do.

I canā€™t figure out what they hope to accomplish. I donā€™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.

is it safe to say that abortion is the main issue that motivates these women? Itā€™s really sad that in this country of affluence women feel they have to have access to abortion, while in some countries women are being doled out forced sterilization.

Iā€™m kind of wondering if she may get a visit from the Secret Service.

Hey, itā€™s politically incorrect, which makes it okay, right.?

Btw, I hate this kind of language, whether Madonna, Ted Nugent, or VP Cheney.
