  • ‘Women’s March’ Ousts Pro-Life Feminists from Protest

    http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...ife-feminists/

    A feminist group has been unceremoniously expelled from the list of participants at the upcoming Women’s March on Washington, once organizers discovered that the group did not adhere to the strict pro-abortion requirement for marchers.

    New Wave Feminists had been chosen as an official partner of the Jan. 21 Women’s March on Washington, until the Atlantic magazine revealed that the group believes in the right to life of unborn children.

    On its website, New Wave Feminists proclaims its intent to “take feminism back from those who have corrupted it,” trading it in for “a handful of birth control pills, the ‘privilege’ to degrade ourselves in playboy, and the ‘right’ to abort our children.”

    “The Women’s March’s platform is pro-choice and that has been our stance from day one,” the organizers said in a statement. “The anti-choice organization in question is not a partner of the Women’s March on Washington. We apologize for this error.”

      All women should participate in the march -- just not those women.

        The organizer's claim that it represents women of all backgrounds sure rings hollow as a result of this.

          RATS!!! Because of the rollback, we lost a bunch of pearls of wisdom from JimL.

          Perhaps he'll repost, cause I was actually going to amen one of them, and agree that, technically, he was right about something.

            The Women's March is not just to promote feminism but also to question Trump's legitimacy as president given, the high jinks surrounding his election. And it has been stunningly successful. An estimated half a million people joined the March on Washington the day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the US. This movement will not be going away any time soon.

                Obama’s first inauguration was around double the number of people who attended Trump’s today according to most estimates. So who’s being delusional? And “aerial images of the National Mall showed that crowds at the Women's March may have outnumbered attendance at Trump's inaugural address”. Poor Donald and his pathological obsession with size.

                  Here's a picture showing all the trash they left behind. Nice to see their concern for the environment, I thought liberals loved the environment.

                    Perhaps the organizers asked them to leave all the signs in that particular area so they could be gathered up and recycled? They seem to be cardboard anyway, so it would be biodegradable and wouldn't matter where it went as far as the environment is concerned.

                    Estimates seem to be about 2.5 million nationwide across the US. So roughly 8 times as many people as attended Trump's inauguration. And getting close to 1 in every 100 people in the entire US protesting simultaneously.

                    There were also linked protests here in NZ, New Zealand leads global marches in defence of women's rights after Donald Trump's inauguration, though the attendance rates were ~1 in 1000 citizens unlike the 1:100 rates seen in the US.

                      Yep, they expect mummy and daddy government to clean up after them. After all cleaning up trash is obviously a man's job.

                      Yeah I'm sure they'll biodegrade in a matter of hours just like Spiderman's web formula.

                        And in my home town of Sydney as well. "US President Donald Trump's inauguration had an immediate impact on thousands of Sydneysiders who marched through the city to protest against 'hatred and bigotry'. Organisers of the Sydney Women's March estimated 8000-10,000 attended the Saturday event, which started at Hyde Park and ended in Martin Place.

                        This is not quite "the movement" Trump thought he was starting.

                          The same people who said Trump would never win the Republican nomination, and even if he did, wouldn't get it, and had about ZERO chance of winning the presidency, and demanded the recounts, and all the pollsters, and you crybaby drama queens.

                            Yeah, typical liberal elitists who think others should do their work. We want clean environment - so YOU clean up after us.

                            Honestly, Starlight, that's not some of your better work.
