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.”

The way the media is promoting this phoney war on women meme for the Democrats is shamefull. I think it is going to backfire.

[So...because you have to pay for contraception...we’re restricting access]

Just like they’re restricting my access to a new boat, vacation home, nanny, housekeeper, gardener, and personal chef.

I LOVED being pregnant! I had never felt so happy and excited as when I was carrying each of my 4 children! I loved just lying their and feeling them kick dreaming of the day they would finally enter this world and I could kiss their tiny nose and toes! It is such a wonderful gift! There is nothing in life quite so special and awe inspiring. Such a shame that women have been conditioned to view it as a burden or “punishment”.

...including the racial/class warfare Reichstag fire he will ignite this summer/fall when the polls start to show he is losing big!

From 2nd Timothy 3;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Why wont this posting thingy let me start a new paragraph after I do a preview?)------------------------------- Godlessness in the Last Days 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.

“Hundreds”? (more like 50, probably).

Do you know HOW MANY it would require to “Take New York By Storm”?

If this was not a news headline, this “protest” would, in effect, not have existed.

These liberal women should read this book and see what 'war on women' is really like. In Iran women have to sneak reading in of the classics at the risk of severe punishment for doing so.

As the occupoopers come out criminal and red, they are losing many of their libertarian protestors and other idealists.

Maybe this is what Trayvon is about. Before this began, Sharpton was asking blacks to join the occupoopers. Riled up in thier racism, now they have a reason to hit the streets. Only problem is, they are racists and will slaughter the occupiers.

"Hundreds Of Protestors Take New York By Storm..."

The unspun headline:
"Dozens of Smelly Women With Excessive Body Hair Go Unnoticed in New York..."
