I hope someone is already planning a massive march on DC this spring to protest what I expect

[Atticus]

to be the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Covid and health permitting, I will be there.

I actually expect all six "conservatives" to vote to kill Roe after listening to the transparently "Got my mind made up, you baby-killer!" questions.

1. Why?

It may make you feel better, but it won't change the outcome.

[Demsrule86]

6. That is it...and doing things I know are kind of pointless doesn't make me feel better.

[Atticus]

8. Changing the outcome would not be the purpose. The purpose would be publicizing how

Republicans feel about women and how VITAL it is that we retain both houses in the midterms.

I think it could mobilize a lot of people to be active in their candidate's campaign and pull out all stops to defeat "the party that killed Roe v. Wade".

[brooklynite]

9. Why do you imagine that people don't know Republican positions on this?

As I mentioned in another thread, pro-choice voters by and large are not single issue voters.

[Atticus]

10. I actually composed a response to your response, but I think it best to just let you proceed. nt

15. It's a bit late

For that.

3. You can count on it.

[Demsrule86]

4. You know I honestly believe marching for Roe is a waste of time...start working to elect more

Democrats...use the issue to get more women to vote for us...SCOTUS doesn't care if anyone marches. The only thing we can hope for is that they realize that their credibility will be completely destroyed. Also, Roe is more than abortion laws you know...there is a right to privacy involved as well as LGBTQ rights.

5. Better to plan a massive march to the polling places next November.

Truly.

[mcar]

11. This +1000!

Cannot he stated enough.

7. GQPers are in for a rude awakening

if they believe that making abortion illegal will end abortion. I looked it up and some of the countries with the strictest abortion laws also have the highest rates of abortion. How did prohibition work out? The sad part is this isn't just about abortion, those clinics provided all types of health care.

12. I don't think a march is pointless...

except perhaps for people very nervous about being in a large crowd - people getting together is the energizing, synergistic. Seeing us of like mindedness all together - powerful.

Of the visits I've made to DC (18+) about half have been for marches & rallies: Labor, Renewable Energy, MLK 25th Anniversary Rally, Anti Iraq War, Choice (sigh).
Marches in NYC - Anti Vietnam War, Anti Nuclear Weapons, Earth Day, Anti Iraq War, Women's March (till covid).

I think it will energize people to eventually GOTV more with such a vital issue for Americans to get more Democrats elected. That can change things over time while I do fear 😔 for all potentially effected until women have continued choice, and achieve full equality here.

13. Thanks. nt
