No, there's no place at a Women's march for forced birthers and anti-choice nuts. Why is this a question?

“It further proves that this is what the abortion industry does,” said Kristan Hawkins, the president of Students for Life. “They have taken over any talk of feminism in the country to point out that if you are antiabortion, you are accused of being anti-woman.”

Or, fer the luva... There is no “abortion industry”. But thank you for showing us how ill-informed and reactionary you are. It's always helpful when our enemies clearly identify themselves. If you want to create laws that take away a woman's right to choose, you are, by definition, anti-woman. If you want to make laws that hurt women, you are anti-woman. See how that works?

Leaving the question on whether there's room aside --

I'm sorry, but my first reaction was the thought of the Toddler Tyrant and his Grossly Obsessed Plutocrat (GOP needed new words for the acronym) buddies watching anti-choice women who are "supposed" to be on "their side", carrying pro-life signs... while marching with progressives, liberals, socialists, Democrats, moderates, and basically "The Enemy."

In that light, I can see it as one more "fuck you" to the Terrible Tycoon, one from some of his previous supporters. Yeah, I'll indulge in a little schadenfreude over the Twitter tantrum that will ensue from Donald the Hutt.

(I def. agree with what everyone else is saying, however.)

If we don't have control over our own bodies, we have nothing.

OP, I will be watching and hoping for enormous crowds everywhere tomorrow. Still planning to go to SF. Wile I'm nervous about logistics, but really want to contribute however I can.
