Is it just the abortion thing? Do they know that millions of women are also pro life so it is not just something uniyqbe to Trump
And? When it's a government threatening to take away the right of choice, who better to protest than the head of that government?

LOL. When the left insults using vulgarity and defamatory remarks, it's "expressing an opinion" that she has "every right to do,"....

...BUT if a Trump or anyone they are against, does that then it is racist, sexist, misogynist, hateful, fascist, etc.

Got it.

Our ability to do this is directly correlated with our access to safe and legal family planning - birth control, up to and including termination.

When a woman's entire life and economic future is threatened by legally being forced to birth children I feel that's the only reason I would march and protest.

I hope the sheer amount of numbers have some effect on trump to at least considers that many people oppose his policies. the repeal of healthcare, and other issues.

lets see how he responds to the march. ignore it? tweet about it? or address it?

Women's marches are taking place on Saturday, January 21, across the nation and worldwide to send a message to our leaders that the United States of America stands for values of human dignity, equal rights and freedom from discrimination.

I was going to start the same exact thread, then I got interrupted with a phone call.

Abortion... OK, the freedom to do that isn't changing - the means to have abortions may change.

Rhetoric - that's not affecting policy.

OK... again, what's changing what you mention above?

I think this is result of the propaganda media banging the drum on this, and there is really not much to fear with regards to Trump if you are interested in improving the country.
