Globe & Mail: Women descend on Washington to push back against Trump presidency

Well it might have something to do with certain picks of his who could get in the way of things like access to birth control and abortion should birth control fail, want to defund planned parenthood which actually provides a lot of useful services to women in poverty and things like that. Also I imagine that p**** grabbing comment....is part of the motivation.

Now I just hope it stays peaceful, unlike some of the protests that have occurred.

So far there have only been reports of medical emergencies.

The march is for many reasons. I'm all for peaceful protests, marchs and so on. Unfortunately too many people on the Republicans and/or Trump's side thinks its somehow always a crime.

Planned Parenthood being defunded is a huge and stupid mistake by the Republicans/Trump/other people that want to get rid of abortions at any cost, plus determine how women should reproduce. SICKENING!

Planned Parenthood does a ton of good, but ignorant people think its just about abortions and so on. I think if more people read the actual facts they would realize that the defunding of it shouldn't happen.

The Republicans whined how much during Obama's term in office? People namecalled Obama and his family how much? Answer to both- a ton! So its only fair that Democrats can fight back and protest, march (and so on) as long as its peaceful. Also this isn't just about the Democrats- its about people that want women's rights to be better. It's about LGBQT rights to be better- no more stupid bathroom bills because people are scared of change and other silly things!

Fascinating. The "march" is essentially drawing attention to how the marchers lost their expected election.

How many times in American political history do the losers willingly celebrate their loss? Somebody needed to think this through. The message was mangled.

I could watch a two-year-old have a tantrum anytime. Why now? Why this?

What does it matter if Planned Parenthood's federal funding was shifted to an organization that doesn't preform abortions? That's because a lot 'pro-choice' people are really misanthropic supporters of abortion as a social necessity and means of curbing undesirable populations. It isn't about women's health, it's about the easy access abortion on an industrial scale.

I like the protests and disruptions, does more harm than good to their cause. Just makes it easier for Trump to take middle ground. Trump is a genius at how he anticipates the reactions to things, I do not believe that he is where he is by chance and think he's one of the most shrewd politicians in the history of American politics.

...I think it could certainly be interpreted a saying : We,re here ! : and : We still support what we support ! : .
Should they all retreat into a corner because the anti-Trumps lost this election ? (ESPECIALLY given the rather bizarre only-in-America way the loss happened - As in , you know , 2,750,000 votes plus more for the main anti-Trump candidate . Yes, I know it,s fully legal & valid .) If so , wouldn,t those pro-Trump (I,ll presume you,re more pro-Trump,s agenda .) people say:: See , they,re not fighting back politically ! : ?

If you don't intrinsically value human life and think there is a societal good to abortion then there isn't much for us to argue about, I just fundamentally disagree.

I had not seen this thread before I had posted a thread in the women's section of the forum. I didn't want any feedback from men since it is a women's March. (looks like that is what this thread is getting.)
If any woman wants to discuss these marches, there is a thread in the women's section.

I been seeing alot of women march all over Facebook, I don't understand it.
