The Women's March is Global

[Shrimpbox]

Trump is the first modern president who openly demeans women as sexual objects - and supporters find that acceptable.

Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton would all fit into this category, they just didn't have the electronics back then. As far as reproductive rights, please name any reproductive rights that have been curtailed by Trump. Additionally , can we have a breakdown of quotes from the marches in the us that were anti trump vs. pro women.

Can anyone make an argument that except for diehard extremists, this event will fade from the headlines very quickly. Women that didn't believe in abortion were not welcome. So much for a women's march. What a waste of an opportunity to show solidarity and hope for the truly suffering women of the world, very few of which live in the us.

You acknowledge 3 Democrats who openly demeaned women (one of whom was a serial sexual assaulter) who were never condemned by their supporters. Seems like you are claiming the Left is being hypocritical.

You are uncommonly perceptive.

Bill Clinton Sex Assault Accusers To Anti-Trump Women’s Marchers: ‘Shame On All Of You’

....Speaking to Breitbart News, Broaddrick had strong words for the march organizers:

I am a survivor of sexual assault. I am one of the people you are supposedly marching for. I was raped by Bill Clinton. Did you hear me? I am one of many that Bill Clinton assaulted. Where were you ladies when I was hurting and scared? This past year, I once again told about my horrific encounter with Bill Clinton.

Where were you? You were silent because of your support for Hillary Clinton. Shame on you; all of you. I can finally move forward because your candidate, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton, my abuser, no longer matter....

Oakland

Las Vegas Nevada

Los Angeles

There are many more locations, but clearly millions of women came out for this march today.
It's got to be in the millions.

REPUBLICANS HAVE AWOKEN A SLEEPING GIANT

A sleeping giant that can't flip an egg without breaking the yolk or iron a shirt without burning the shirt or their fingers most likely. No wonder kids are screwed up and having identity crises.

Your problem is they VOTE. They also are the largest voting block in this country, and they vote more often than men do.

These women are your mothers, your sisters, your wives, your girlfriends, your grandmothers, and your daughters. You didn't stand up for them, and say NO way we're installing a vile, vulgar, foul mouthed, immature, woman assaulting, sexist, misogynist Chimpanzee into the oval office.

Since you have made Comrade Trump the poster boy of the Republican party, the target will be on every Republican that holds elected office. The consequences will be devastating for decades to come.

Pennsylvania

You have been feeding us this crap for the last two years and you have been wrong. The woman's vote is not monolithic. 42 per cent of women voted for trump. When he gets done replacing Obamacare, helping the inner cities, and creating a childcare benefit he will receive the majority of the woman's vote. As an added extra, Melania and even more So Ivanka will headline woman's issues in the trump administration. I wouldnt want to be you.

Are you a conservative? If you are do you want to name another Republican that has ever proposed another Obamacare type program called child care subsidies?

These women are coming from all walks of life, and they should not be ignored. It was women who secured a 2nd term for Barack Obama--and together they are most powerful voting block in this country. You have pissed them off by electing a man with no honor, no respect, no dignity, and the only loyalty he has ever shown to anyone was to himself and Russia. A vile, vulgar, foulmouthed Chimpanzee.

Comrade Trump won because Democrats voted for him, especially in the rust belt where he was promising on reopening those rusted out factories. If he doesn't they'll be back in the Democrat column in short order. The South voted for him because he was campaigning on a thousand mile border wall, while promising he would send out Gestapo type squads to rip illegals out of this country which he is has already flipflopped on.

Read this on FB and I agree.

"I am not a "disgrace to women" because I don't support the women's march. I do not feel I am a "second class citizen" because I am a woman. I do not feel my voice is "not heard" because I am a woman. I do not feel I am not provided opportunities in this life or in America because I am a woman. I do not feel that I "don't have control of my body or choices" because I am a woman. I do not feel like I am " not respected or undermined" because I am a woman.

I AM a woman.

I can make my own choices.

I can speak and be heard.

I can VOTE.

I can work if I want.

I control my body.

I can defend myself.

I can defend my family.

There is nothing stopping me to do anything in this world but MYSELF.

I do not blame my circumstances or problems on anything other than my own choices or even that sometimes in life, we don't always get what we want. I take responsibility for myself.

I am a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. I am not held back in life but only by the walls I choose to not go over which is a personal choice.

Quit blaming.

Take responsibility.

If you want to speak, do so. But do not expect for me, a woman, to take you seriously wearing a pink va-jay-jay hat on your head and screaming profanities and bashing men.

If you have beliefs, and speak to me in a kind matter, I will listen. But do not expect for me to change my beliefs to suit yours. Respect goes both ways.

If you want to impress me, especially in regards to women, then speak on the real injustices and tragedies that affect women in foreign countries that do not that the opportunity or means to have their voices heard.

Saudi Arabia, women can't drive, no rights and must always be covered.
China and India, infanticide of baby girls.

Afghanistan, unequal education rights.

Democratic Republic of Congo, where rapes are brutal and women are left to die, or HIV infected and left to care for children alone.

Mali, where women can not escape the torture of genital mutilation.

Pakistan, in tribal areas where women are gang raped to pay for men's crime.
Guatemala, the impoverished female underclass of Guatemala faces domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS after sub-Saharan Africa. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages.

And that's just a few examples.

So when women get together in AMERICA and whine they don't have equal rights and march in their clean clothes, after eating a hearty breakfast, and it's like a vacation away that they have paid for to get there...

This WOMAN does not support it.

Frist - I think that is a GREAT post.

But I'll add this. Just because there are women who support the women's march, and sisterly unity - doesn't mean they aren't also advocating and supporting women's issues around the world, nor does it mean there aren't women's issues HERE that need to be brought up. One is not exclusive of the other.

It's ironic - I've started threads on what has been going on in the Congo for example, where rape is so brutal corrective surgery is required (assuming they survive) - but where is the interest? There was none - the thread eventually died.

It's a bit like saying - why are we whining about crime rates when compared to almost every country in South America, our violent crime rate is almost non-existent?

Lesbians protesting in favor of abortion...but none of them will ever be impregnated by a man.

Abortions that have been legal for decades.

If Roe overturned the issue will go back to individual states where it belongs.

And what would be the results? The Guttmacher Institute, an organization whose research is cited by both sides of the debate, says that 20 states currently have laws on the books and they would remain thus making abortion illegal at least to some extent in those states. 7 other states would probably intact new abortion laws with various degrees of restriction.

The remaining 23 states are unlikely to pass any new abortion laws. Nationally, support for overturning Roe v Wade has fallen from 33% to 28% over the last 15 years. Opposition has risen from 60 to 69%. In these 23 states support for pro choice is even higher, reaching 87% in some blue states.

The cost of an abortion in states where it was illegal would rise by the cost of a plane or bus ticket. Abortion rates would fall in states with abortion laws, and rise in states where abortion was legal. The major impact would be on the poor who would have more unwanted children for the state to support.

Interestingly, the impact on the number of abortions is unlikely to be near as great as believed by those on both sides of the issue.

• First off, abortions have fallen in the US over last 20 years by nearly 50% from 1.2 million to 660,000, a trend that began 25 years ago and is accelerating.
• Second, the wide availability of chemically induced abortions would make enforcement of abortion laws very difficult.
• Lastly, the cost of travel between nearby states where abortion is legal is relatively inexpensive and likely to be made even cheaper by pro choice organizations.

About seven-in-ten Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade

I am disappointed in you flop. In every one of your posts in this thread you are selectively choosing information creating a false impression about trumps character, the women's movement, or abortion. I don't have have a problem with your extreme distaste for trump but let's not support your positions with falsehoods, misdirections, and giant omissions. Let's tell the whole story about the abortion debate.

The main one is that most Americans support abortion access with some significant restrictions. If you were going to craft a law based strictly on public opinion, it would permit abortion in the first trimester (first 12 weeks) of pregnancy and in cases involving rape, incest or threats to the mother’s health. The law, however, would substantially restrict abortion after the first trimester in many other cases.

Intriguingly, such a policy would be similar to the laws in several European countries, like France, where abortions are widely available in the first trimester and restricted afterward. It would also be consistent with much of Roe v Wade.

Don't forget to tell your listeners about this fact too

As Gallup’s historical chart shows, opinion on abortion has not shifted in a major way over the years. (It also does not vary much by sex, with women as divided as men on the issue.) But if one side has any slight sway on the trends, it is the anti-abortion campaigners’ side. Twenty years ago, the share of Americans saying abortion should always be legal was more than twice as high as the share saying it should never be legal. Since the mid-1990s, the share of Americans who consider themselves as abortion rights advocates (or “pro-choice” in the poll’s available answers) has also declined:

I don't expect roe to be overturned, this is a scare tactic of the left. What I do see is many more restrictions on late term abortions, as they absolutely should have, and as the vast majority of the public wants.

You have Senate Republicans watching these marches, the last thing they're going to do is piss them off more by installing an "ultra conservative judge." It was a right wing court that gave us Roe V Wade and it's been considered a right wing court ever since.

Comrade Trump has been effectively neutered.

Sure. Republican members of Congress are swayed by these nuts.
