Counter-protesting the March for Life?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to peacefully counter-protest the March for Life. I'd prefer not to be alone when doing so. Where should I go and when?

There will be online groups with info the closer to the event it gets.

The capital at about 1PM on the 19th

In my experience, most of the March for Life "protesters" are just kids and their chaperones bussed in from the various Catholic schools within a few hours' drive of DC. They are handed pre-printed signs, but I think most of them could care less about the "cause." More like organized astroturf than an actual protest. Every now and then you might see some random MAGA pro-lifers among them but otherwise I've always found the March for Life to be pretty pathetic.

Pike and Rose in Rockville on the 19th is the place where many anti-life protesters are meeting.

On the one side, people protesting abortion rights while withholding food aid to poor children. These people think that if a girl or woman gets raped and becomes pregnant, that the girl or woman should spend 9 months pregnant with the rapist’s child. Then at birth, in some states, the rapist has parental rights.

Best case scenario is the baby is adopted (if father’s parental rights do not prevent the adoption) and one day, the now teenager discovers his father was a rapist. Let’s have a generation of rapist’s babies!

Or maybe you have a two parent family with, say, three kids. The woman becomes pregnant unintentionally, or she is pregnant and the man loses his job/ becomes disabled in an accident/ the woman is diagnosed with cancer. The most important thing is this scenario is obviously the embryo/ fetus. Let’s decide for the parents where their money, energy, and priorities lay. It’s crucial the woman gives birth.

If you have a business and someone comes to the door and says, give me a job. The business can say, Sorry. I don’t have the resources to take care of you. But a pregnant woman needs to say yes, yes, yes, yes.

And on the other hand is the concept that the pregnant woman should get to decide what is best for her. Revolutionary.

I’ve deliberately said pregnant girl/woman instead of pregnant person because I’m fine with pregnant person but I think most pregnant people are girls or women. That whole pregnant person thing is not of major interest to me. Abortion rights, that’s my #1 issue.

+1000. Abortion rights are also my #1 issue.

The best thing you can do is ignore them. Where would we be if there had been counter protesters on January 6, 2021?

The other anti-lifers appreciate your support.

Absolutely. My SIL went to Catholic school in NJ and then a women’s Catholic college in PA. Was bused there every year. By college she was sneaking off with her friends to the museums.

Yes, a high school friend's kid came here several years back on a bus with other kids from their Catholic high school.

If you have ever seen the marchers, they are mostly high school students with a smattering of nuns and priests among them as chaperones.
