Historic Women's Marches

Here's how big today's women's march in Seattle is: The front reached Seattle Center (the end) before the back had left Judkins Park (the start). That's a distance of a 3.6 miles.

We are missing some key details here

We're not missing anything, you retard. As I said, my niece's bona fides
as a major player in the violence against women movement gives her all the
street cred she needs to know when somebody is being discriminated against.
So shut yer holier than thou know it all moronic mouth.

Well, here's one for history. As some of you know, Libby Sauter, a well-known and very accomplished climber and YOSAR member, has been on Aconcagua in Argentina for the last month. (In real life, Libby is a pediatric cardiac care nurse in developing countries, with Novick Cardiac Alliance. She sometimes posts here as velvet!) Anyway, Libby apparently got to the top today, as reported by another party. I'm not sure by what route, but suspect it was her first high mountain.

Yesterday Libby said "It'll be my women's march on Aconcagua!" Undoubtedly the highest march today, and perhaps the highest such march in history.

Re the press secretary -i give him, and trump 4-6 mos -total sycophants

History was made Saturday in Seattle as more than 100,000 people marched through the streets to stand up for women's rights. The record protest for the Women’s March on Seattle far surpassed previous demonstrations in the city.

Why can't leftist slobs ever pick up after themselves?

Those marches were purely emotional based.

It's great we can still protest in such a manner but i feel the anger is seriously misdirected.

I find it amazing so many people showed up outraged over words while saying nothing when the USA became involved in a third war in Syria.
A war in which our allies the "rebels"-Islamic terrorist groups- treat women like dirt.

It's misdirected because they are protesting a silly comment instead of our policy's of supporting groups of people who treat women like dirt.

And yes I agree our policy's go back some time. However trump had no part of it. Hillary on the other hand?

Edit- the solution is to not have invaded a sovereign nation while supporting the terrorist groups behind the chaos.

It's been a predictable disastor.
It's too bad so many are worried about Syrian refugees rather than our policy's that displaced them.

I marched in San Jose yesterday because we can have a black president, but can't bear to have a female one. Other countries have women at the helm, but ours continues to be ruled by fat white men.

Where did women's rights go that they have to be protesting? There has been a liberal in the WH for 8 years. Did HE bring down women's rights? Are you protesting Trump's treatment of women? If so, why weren't you hypocrites protesting Slick Willie? What a bunch of 'tards all of you are.

Yeah, Pakistan, which most Americans consider to be a backwards country, beat us to the punch a long time ago.

But, when the organizers took "New Wave Feminists" off of their sponsor list I pretty much lost interest. It's a group that supports all the same ideas except they are pro life and that got them booted.

Does your church welcome Planned Parenthood to its events?

Whether or not organizations that called themselves "pro life" were welcome at marches yesterday, a fair number of those who marched were probably both "pro life" and "pro choice". As with so many other issues that can be presented as divisively blue/red (i.e. purple), to some it's not so clear cut.

Women, when told that they will be denied the right to obtain birth control, get pretty upset. Forcing them into unwanted pregnancies is roughly equivalent to being forced into slavery.

...seems to assume that birth control is the only way to avoid getting pregnant

Not to be an azz.

Naitch:

Marched with wife, daughter and friends yesterday in DC. Totally amazing event. The uplifting vibe, positiveness (except as noted in relation to Trump), well organized, peacful, and empowering.

I am confused.

Why do people that favor abortion on demand use the same arguments that Democrats used once upon a time to justify slavery?

Stupid question.

How many horrific crimes as an unborn baby committed, other than being conceived of course?

I don't believe the soul enters at conception. If there was any real evidence of this I would.

There is a coordinated effort by the Right, to continue to attack abortion AND BIRTH CONTROL, state by state.

Pro-Life, for the LAWMAKERS, is about keeping women in a place of servitude and vulnerability. It is about keeping men without means chained to shitty jobs to support children.

Sounds like you have a problem with religion and lack of "adequate birth control". Tell the religion that denied your mother birth control to take a hike, don't blame the unborn child for the failings of a religious institution.

I think of course, unless of special circumstances like the mothers life is in jeopardy, a viable fetus should be protected. I have no problem calling him/her at that stage an unborn child.

So it was all just a hotel reservation thing. Simple eh?

Newly-declassified documents reveal that former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger hampered efforts to stop mass killings of dissidents by Argentina’s 1976-83 military dictatorship.

Kissinger hailed the military rulers for the country’s "campaign against terrorism," which included the imprisonment, torture, and killings of tens of thousands of leftist activists and students.

Just to clarify, if the muslim girl or woman you are using to mock your political opponents wanted to claim refugee status, your guy currently wouldn't allow her in. Have I got that right?
Please head back to trolling skool to bone up on the logic bit, the fun of taking on characters like you is tiresome as best.
FREE LOIS!!!

Also, the reason why women in the US enjoy the rights they do today is because, 100 years ago, 50 years ago, women and men marched and fought for those rights. The fight continues because, whether you want to believe it or not, there is still a fight to be had.
