Hundreds Of Protestors Take New York By Storm In Fight Against ‘War On Women’ April 29, 2012 11:04 AM

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) - Hundreds of protesters marched on Saturday in New York City against what they say are setbacks to equal rights and reproductive rights for women.

Saturday’s march against the “war on women” was one of dozens around the country.

Protesters marched from Washington Square down Broadway to Foley Square.

They chanted “Not the church, not the state, women must control their fate.”

Brenda Reiss says she was taking part in the protest because of efforts in several states to restrict access to abortion and contraception. She says women “will not be shoved back in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant.”

Hundreds? An allegedly national protest?

To the propagandizing CommieMedia (see the Vietnam War “protests”), 101 useless sh!t disturbers would qualify as “hundreds”.

"Not the church, not the state, women must control their fate."

"Hundreds" take a city of 8 million by storm? Meanwhile, when a quarter million march on DC each year in January, it's a non-story.

The media is our enemy.

So...because you have to pay for contraception...we're restricting access?

Abortion...get over it, it is legal...but yeah...you have to pay for that sin too. Both here and in the afterlife.

All those choices have consequences, but you do have the right to choose.

Oh, c'mon!

They're beating the sh*t out of each other to get there.

Interesting that among all the fancy printed signs that the main subject of the picture is holding an etch-a-sketch.

But no, this rally is as non-partisan as the one in Florida being discussed on another thread. It's being run by NOW and NARAL and the Dems, but it is non-partisan. It has the latest Dem 'War on Women' talking point incorporated into its name, but it's non-partisan. It was created in February right about the time that the Dems started this particular campaign meme, but it's non-partisan.

Non-partisan my ass. It's as big an astroturf job as the Million Moms.

ROTFL!!! Just the opposite is true under Barry. Welfare, Obamacare, unemployment, forclosures. The list goes on an on. These "protestors" either aren't very bright or they are not paying attention. They need to try to focus.

It's as plain as day that this group and its rallies are nothing but an avenue for the MSM to keep the 'War on Women' meme in the news without critically examining the astroturf nature of the group.

Women must control their fate? All humans want to control their fate. So march against oppressive government, the only thing that oppresses Americans. Or, travel to one of many Sharia-style countries and protest. Those women do have it bad.

And BTW is abortion something these women have on a regular basis? That seems to be the case on how fanatical they are about it. Then I ask myself just how much hetero sex are they having anyway being that most of them look like butch lesbians? Or are they impregnating themselves with donor sperm but keep changing their minds once it is done? How many abortions can they keep having anyway? I thought after the 3rd or 4th one the uterus is so damaged the lesbian, I mean woman, can no longer conceive.

**********************

No, liberals would rather have them escorting, standing on streetcorners, poledancing, spreading their legs for any man that comes along, and killimgs their babies because they were irresponsible.

Somehow barefoot and pregnant doesn’t look bad at all.

These are not women. They are blind idiots.

These women do control their fate. They control their eternal fate too. They might need to rethink some of their postions.
