Seems like we are going around in circles here.

Abortion rates are the lowest in years and continue to fall because of greater access to contraceptives and education about family planning. But if abortion is made illegal, will the government require all women to register their pregnancies? Will the government track each pregnancy to make sure it is taken to term? Will the women be punished by the law? Will the government adopt a "forced birth" policy to make sure that women give birth? Love how conservatives are getting government off our backs!

Of course, women with the means will simply go to a state where abortion is legal to have it done.

I've been checking out that EarthCam of the National Mall. Wow, where is everybody indeed! Maybe if they held this event on a weekend, it would have been better attended.

I'll take the risk of extrapolating here, and say that it seems most women are pro choice, at least the ones who get out there and protest/march.

you don't have to agree with abortion if you are against it. don't have an abortion, simple. for the rest of the women in America, we can make our own choice, based on our own morals and life.

If you don't want to have an abortion, that's fine. Your body. Your decision.

But my reproductive decisions are none of your or anyone else's business.

That wasn't out of left field. You said pregnancy that resulted from rape was a small number so it shouldn't be something that is a part of the conversation. And I pointed out that millions of children living in poverty is NOT a small number and should be part of the conversation.

But I get it, it's inconvenient to think about them, or how banning abortion will lead to MORE of them. Better to just stick with the party line of no abortions for anyone. The children who will result from such a draconian decree be damned.

It's okay, Acres. You have made your utter disregard for what happens to these unwanted children once you have forced their mothers to give birth to them perfectly clear.

Unless you are the one that is pregnant, it doesn't matter if you agree or disagree. I disagree with many things people do, but that doesn't mean that I get to make choices for them.
Disagree all you want, go offer to pay all medical bills and adopt the child for anyone thinking about an abortion, go adopt one of the hundreds of thousands of children already in the system, but don't try to force your beliefs about abortions into the law to prevent someone else from making their own choice.

" where is everyone?" - that is what everyone asked about Hillary's empty campaign stops. Dozens of people is all that showed up at one of Hillary's weekly rallies. Weekly because of her poor health.

Here is some photos from today's march. Dozens of roads being shut down. Extra security.

Massive attendance at March for Life could extend crowd size chatter | Fox News

And watch, there won't be hoards of trash nor any bleeped language due to democratic speakers inability to not use profanity that makes sailors blush.

Well, that's the way you see it, but the way we see it (untold multi 1000's) is that Life begins at Conception and the Government has no business getting involved in it.

Now other than that, if you have one, that is up to you.
