I was among the 5000 or so people who gathered, under a steady rain, at the Chicago Federal building. Speakers included two members of congress, one a Democrat. Women appeared to outnumber men at the rally Local ABC and NBC affiliates ignored the rally, CBS reported it, putting the crowd at a laughingly low 300. Anyone who participated or even passed knows that this is a monstrous lie. The focus of the rally was not birth control or even abortion drugs, but the need to resist an all powerful state that seeks to crush religious freedom.
Even the Nashville Tennessean (justly called “Pravda on the Cumberland”) reported that there were 500 attendees at the Nashville rally. If there were 500 in Nashville, I’m pretty sure there were more than 300 in Chicago.
