Counter-protesting the March for Life?

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.


Wow, aren't you a charmer. I happen to be pro-choice, but I respect those who aren't. According to you, March for Life participants are frauds. Arrogant, much?

Man, people pimp out their kids for these protests?


I guess you have no problem with people pimping out their kids for the Women's Marches, complete with outfitting them in pussy hats and obscene signs?

After the SCOTUS decision in Dobbs, the number of abortions in the US has increased. Look it up.

For many years I worked at WHC and took the shuttle bus from Brookland metro to the hospital. There would be busloads of students, priests/nuns and chaperones getting dropped off at the Basilica and they would flood Metro.

This may sound defeatist, but I don't think protesting really does much of anything on either side. We are far past the point where politicians on the national stage listen to their constituents.

Again - I'm pro-choice, but what exactly is the problem here? Pro-choice marches have tons of kids who take the day off from school, come with chaperones, etc. Curious why one is perfectly ok with you while the other is not?

Because they don't like other Americans with a different view, we have to meet in the middle somewhere.

I’ve never had a pro-choice demonstrator shove a picture of a bloody fetus under my nose while I was stopped at a light.

Dp- what the hell is your problem? If you live in DC you’ve seen the protest. It’s very obvious who attends and why.

Not at all "arrogant," that's entirely your own take. Whether you like hearing it or not, my comments are accurate, based on years of living in DC and walking on the mall daily and seeing the March for Life participants up close and chatting with them many times over those many years.

Well of course pro-choice protesters don't show pictures of the aftermath!

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.


I went to a Catholic high school. My children did not. Who in their right minds sends their children on over night trips with priests?
