I've been thanked, called a slut, condemned in the name of Jesus, forgiven by God, high-fived, and yelled at in joy and fury.
Quite a day.
( An in-your-face feminist Democrat's view of the Million Woman March for Women's Lives. )
One million, one hundred thousand marchers!!!
Edited to add:
This morning the Post had a glorious picture of wall to wall people on the mall and several articles. The one in Style was sniffy and dismissive; the ones in the main section were a better spread. (Post links should stay live for 2 weeks and may require free registration.)
Women's Rally Draws Vast Crowd
Antiabortion Rally Confronts Huge March
(1000 protestors my ass. I was guessing 100; the news said roughly 200. As opposed to the march, which has been guessed at from 500,000 to over a million, with 750,000 pre-signed up.)
Vignettes from Rally (Hey! I heard the conversation about "in front of the Washington Monument"!)
Photo Gallery If nothing else, look at the first shot, the one of the crowded mall.
A Cause Across Generations
March One of the Largest Mall Events Explains why there's such a discrepancy in headcount.
And then there's the Washington Times article underlining why it was so damn worth it for me to come to work with aching legs:
The Bush administration is scrapping plans to sponsor a major global health and reproductive rights conference that features liberal advocacy groups, including several pro-choice organizations and MoveOn.org, which is spending millions of dollars on negative ads to defeat President Bush. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will withdraw its support today, according to a senior government official.
