Did they bomb any abortion clinics along the way?

It's a pretty good bet that the vast majority of people at the march voted for Trump. Trump has made money for years selling items made in China. As have his wife and daughter. China has a FORCED ABORTION policy. That family makes money by using workers who could be FORCED to have an abortion.

Pence, who makes a pretty big deal about being a Christian, had ZERO problems being the running mate of a man who makes money using Chinese laborers who could be FORCED to have an abortion.

Now then....who's going to raise their hands and say they are pro-life and happily voted for a guy who uses people subject to forced abortions so he can make lots and lots of money? Raise 'em high. Let's see who the hypocrites are. Tell us why Chinese women and their pregnancies don't matter. Then you can tell us how much Chinese-made junk you buy at Hobby Lobby.

Not carrying a child to term when you know you are not able to support it or care for it is being responsible. Or do you feel having the child and then expecting the government to support it is being more responsible?

They always under-report or ignore anything outside their talking points. MSM is no longer the keepers of the truth, having become the propaganda arm of the Progressive Democrats.

Responsible would be having safe sex and not getting pregnant in the first place. Both of the alternatives you list are highly irresponsible, but one is the worst of choices.

Progressives expect the government to handle everything in their lives, so you are displaying selective outrage.

Yeah, all of those live cams from the mall were lying when they showed small crowds. Damn, even the live cams have a liberal bias now!

When my oldest daughter, who had just moved out on her own, got pregnant at age 19, she was not on my insurance due to several factors. She immediately ruled out abortion as an option, and was for awhile considering adoption as an alternative. She signed up with a prenatal program offered by a local private hospital (which happens to be a Catholic hospital). Her prenatal care, which became complicated, was free. When she was admitted to have the baby, she was in a private room and received the best of care, also at little or no cost to her.

A few years later, she married a great guy, who adopted her daughter, and later they also both adopted my oldest grandson, from an adoption agency.

She and her husband and my parents and myself - we were all donating generously every month to her "adoption fund" because it's expensive to adopt (don't get me started on that - that's a whole other issue). We had a great financial plan but guess what - she and her husband got "the baby call" ten months earlier than expected! Long story short, they were short a few thousand dollars for expenses. I placed one phone call to the Abba Fund, and they called my daughter and got her checking account info. By the next morning, there was a huge donation in her checking account, making up every bit of the difference in costs, and she and her husband were able to move forward with adopting my grandson. WOOHOOOOO!!!!

ABBA Fund - Adoption Assistance for Christian Families

This was all about eight years ago. I am pleased to say that their entire family is doing GREAT. Both adopted kids are doing very well, and they've been joined by two more kids. My son in law works in the medical profession and my daughter is lucky enough to be able to stay home with the kids, which is what she prefers to do.

I just wanted to share this story for some perspective. Unplanned pregnancies are not always the tragedy people think they are. Of course it often seems that way at first - I cried for about four straight days when my beautiful, honor student daughter told me she was pregnant - and that the father was someone I certainly didn't want her to marry! It seemed hopeless, but in the end, her life has become a beautiful story greatly enriched by two unplanned and very inconvenient pregnancies.

Yes, I know, in steven_h's perfect little world birth control is available for all and it never, ever fails. What is it like living in fantasyland, steven?

Nice response... when you have nothing to actually say.

Wow... so, I guess we should stop all trade with China. I'll bet you're a fan of Apple, Nike, Samsung...etc. More selective outrage.

You were whining that the MSM would under report the numbers of the march. But we watched the live cams right here on C-D all afternoon and we all SAW the tiny little turnout for this event.

So whine away. Truth, as always, has a liberal bias. The live cams proved it.

Me too.

I believe it is wrong to wound our mother earth like we are doing with oil and my sincerely held believe is that we are nuts for doing it.

Also, BigAg subsidies put small farmers out of business and I think a lot of our cancer and other health problems are due to raising crops on chemicals rather than in good, composted earth. This is another sincerely held belief.

When we paid our taxes, we could each assign so much to this fund and so much to that.

Then the feds could look at how much they have in each account, and decide which projects they can afford to fund in each area.
