Fifty Women Pose Nude to Protest War
AP | 11/16/02

POINT REYES STATION, Calif., Nov 16, 2002 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Some women are baring it all to protest the possibility of war in Iraq.

Fifty women in California took off all their clothes earlier this week and spelled out the word "peace" on a baseball field just north of San Francisco.

Seventy-two-year-old artist Donna Sheehan said she organized the protest to convey the desperation that she and other women feel about going to war.

She called her friends, and they called their friends - and soon they were ready to pose for a local photographer.

The women aren't exactly sure what to do with the picture.

They've all signed documents allowing their images to be sold, with proceeds going to the peace movement.

If 72 year olds are your idea of middle age, you must be a LOT older than me.

This must be the 72-year old virgin all the Jihadists are yapping about.
