‘I’m Scared --–----.’ Why Women’s March Protesters Say They ‘Won’t Go Back’
the Daily Signal ^ | November 2, 2024 | Virginia Allen |

Posted on 11/04/2024 11:05:41 AM PST by Morgana

“We can’t go back to Donald Trump,” Julie Drizin told The Daily Signal on Saturday at the “We Won’t Go Back”-themed Women’s March in Washington, D.C.

Sporting a “RESIST” pin on her right side, a “FEMINIST AF” and transgender flag pin on her right side, and holding a Trump baby balloon, Drizin added, “We can’t go back to a world where abortion is not freely available to any women without apology.”

Drizin, a 61-year-old from Silver Spring, Maryland, joined several thousand other women to participate in Saturday’s march, and was open about her support for Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee running against former President Trump.

“I think having a black, BIPOC president again, but a woman, is going to make a huge difference on all of our rights,” she said.

Asked if she is confident Harris can win, Drizin said she is “scared sh–less. I’m really just scared sh–less, you know. I wanted Hillary Clinton to win,” she said, describing Clinton’s loss to Trump in 2016 as “tragic.”

“I won’t breathe easy or sleep well until this election is over and unless we win,” she said.

Many of the women, such as Linda Nester, said they were marching for their daughters. Nester, 58, traveled to D.C. from Washington state for the Women’s March because she wants her daughter “to be able to get an abortion if she wants to.”

Melinda Lewis said she traveled to D.C. from Irving, Texas, for the ‘We Won’t Go Back’ march because she wants her granddaughter to grow up with “the same rights” she had.

“I think we should have the right to have an abortion if it’s medically necessary,” Lewis, 71, said.

Asked what rights she has enjoyed under the Biden-Harris administration that she didn’t under the Trump administration, Lewis said, “I don’t know that I can answer that, honestly.”

“I am totally for Harris,” she continued, “because I believe that Trump is only for himself and his billionaire friends. I think he is a danger to our society, and I am hoping that we still have, after next week, a country left.”

Dressed as suffragettes, mother and daughter Kim and Alex Swords said they marched in honor of the women who fought for the rights of women.

“We don’t want to go back to what was going on back in the 1800s and anytime, I mean, we don’t want to go back a step,” Kim Swords, a 69-year-old resident of Fairfax, Virginia, said. “We want to save all of women’s rights, we want to save all constitutional rights, and we want to bring that to the attention of everyone that the only way to do that is to vote democratic, not just for Kamala, which is great, but all the way down the ticket.”

Many marchers held homemade signs expressing their dislike of Trump or their support of certain political issues.

About 67 million Americans have cast their vote in the 2024 presidential election so far.

They want abortion, but if Kamala wins, their children are going to die in a war ( Russia or China) due to her weakness. Call it a post birth abortion , around 20 plus years after birth. That is what they want.

(S)he wants her daughter “to be able to get an abortion if she wants to.” — Teach your daughter how babies are conceived and how to use birth control and she most likely won’t need an abortion.

Didn’t Trump say he would not sign any laws banning abortion? Repeatedly?

Most of the women I see in those pro-abortion rallies would never ever need one. Not no way. Not no how.

FTA: "...a world where abortion is not freely available to any women without apology.” Drizin, a 61-year-old from Silver Spring, Maryland..."

Safe to say at her age the potential need for an abortion shouldn't be even a low priority. Unless she identifies as an adolescent🙄🤡

“We Won’t Go Back” is a stupid slogan for a low-IQ candidate!

NO to abortion, euthanasia, nuclear war, Third-World immigration, and leftist oppression!

Just so. You hear that so often, and that people subjectively think that’s a good thing makes my stomach roll. How far we’ve fallen as a society

"We won't go back" -

- to international peace treaties

- to affordable housing

- to affordable groceries

- to lower fuel costs for transportation and heating

- to safe cities

- to controlled borders and legal immigration

Hell no, the only important thing is killing babies!

She is quite stupid actually, Trump did e stop abortation, I wish he did, he sent the issue back to the individual states where the issue rightfully belongs.
Remember anything not addressed in the Constitution belongs to the states not the federal government.

Woman: “We will not go back”
Democrats: “Go back. We need it as an election issue”
Women: “OK we are going back”

If abortion is such a crucial issue for the Democrats, why haven’t they ever put it up for vote in Congress?

The only thing they are fighting for is to have an abortion if they get knocked up after cheating on their husbands.

Ironic she supports the transgender agenda which seeks to erase women and women's sex-based rights in law. Women won't have any sex-based rights under a government that is 100% on the trans agenda train, like Harris and Walz are. These brainwashed women don't understand a single thing beyond the programming of "Abortion! Abortion! Abortion!"

My Mom always adored and had a way with babies and they instantly loved her.
Even though she was a die-hard Democrat, I never thought that she would ever defend abortion.
I was shocked and disappointed one day when I found out that I was wrong.

In my eye, a large percentage of women who worry about abortion for free, abortion up till birth, are sluts, or former sluts. It is so easy to avoid pregnancy. Even using the morning after pill, you can get it anywhere. Pills, condoms, implants, even abstinence. AVOID PREGNANCY, it works 98% of the time. Of course if you are sexually driven to where any moment you may spontaneously screw a random man, I refer back to the opening sentence. That is the heart of the issue.

Of course I am only addressing the 90%+ who want an abortion. There is going to be 10% or so who just didn’t plan for a new child, if in the case of no free and easy abortions, you better plan better.... or maybe just raise a baby.

JMO...
