Anti-choice day of mourning

[Cartoonist]

I haven't seen any mention of this. I'll be wearing colorful clothes today.

No link because it's the Federalist.

This coming Saturday, you just may see many women and men across the country wearing black. You also may find some businesses closed and others not so crowded. These are direct results of the call-in opposition to New York’s Reproductive Health Act.

The main event of the national day of mourning will take place in the Empire State Plaza Convention Center in Albany, New York, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., but many other events are being held throughout the nation in an effort to stir the hearts of America in opposition to this extreme legislation, and to make reparation to God through prayer and fasting.

The organizers of the event have called for people to wear black, refrain from shopping, and close their businesses.

1. With Americans' increasing tendency over the last couple of decades toward wearing black...

...they might just go unnoticed.

(My assertion of an increasing tendency is not based on any kind of scientific study. Just something that I've noticed.)

2. Define "many"

I would doubt that 1% of the population knows about this, much less cares to play along, whatever they think of the issue.

4. I wonder about that

Their publicity department is wanting. Fox would push something like this. Did they know about it?

3. LOL!!! "This coming Saturday, you might see men and women wearing the most worn and

common color of clothing for people, ESPECIALLY people in NYC. When you see this, that is a political statement in support of my crazy cause.

Baltimike, wearing all black...on my way to the gym

5. Better call ahead

And make sure they aren't closed in protest.

As if

6. LOL. One of the TV sets has Faux Snooze on, but CNN is on another, and MSNBC

on another. The rest are music vids or fitness tips...I joke with the staff that is still not "balance".

7. Time to change my shirt.

I didn’t know there was an anti-choice demonstration today.
