In reply to the discussion: Damn, these signs are good (Women's March): [View all]BigmanPigman
(55,239 posts)39. Someone came up to me and asked to put mine in the museum
today. That's never happened before. I have hand drawn signs from 22 protests over the past 5 years and most are more elaborate or just better than the one I made for today. I can't post a photo from my tablet but the sign is a take off from the Joan Crawford based movie "Mommy Dearest". It said "No More Wire Hangers" with a red circle and slash through the hanger. I attached a real wire hanger to it and it swung back and forth as I marched.
The really sad part is that several women came up to me as we marched (8,000-10,000 people) and told be real stories of family members who had wire hanger abortions and they were really horrific.
