NYT: Abortion Opponents Rally, Saying the End of Roe Is Near

Many in the crowd said they detected a major shift in spirit and tone this year, even if Mr. Bush made no explicit mention of the reason why: his nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito to the Supreme Court.

"You can see it everywhere," said Gus Holzmiller, a Coast Guard comptroller from Virginia Beach, Va., nodding toward the throngs around him. "Every time someone says Judge Alito's name, a roar goes up."

Helen Sandor, a retired elementary school teacher from Pittsburgh, said: "We've made so many strides, waiting to get to the end of Roe v. Wade. Now, it's like there's a light through the darkness. We feel stronger now."

Nelly Gray, the founder and president of March for Life, the rally organizers, said overturning Roe was the theme for the rally and, in fiery tone, predicted that the United States would hold the equivalent of Nuremburg trials for "feminist abortionists."

"Roe v. Wade has brutalized our country," she said. "The feminine abortionists, look at the evil they are doing. From that will come an accountability."

Her words were met with strong support, and more than a few supporters held a sign that compared abortions in the United States to "Hitler's Holocaust."

1. The "feminine abortionists"?

"The feminine abortionists, look at the evil they are doing. From that will come an accountability."

She meant "feminist", right? Oh well, most of 'em probably believe the Earth is flat, too. :eyes:

2. They're right.

Even idiots hit the mark sometime. The end of RvW is near. Ignorance will prevail, women will die. I wish I felt that this was just another fight, but the lives of our daughters are at stake. Just as the lives of our daughters and sons are being heedlessly sacrificed to oil in Iraq. I weep for our offspring, and the idiots who put their lives on the line for their insane religous principles.

4. If they believe it's going to happen yeah right

It's the republicans key issue to gain votes. They won't take that away. They're doing like they always do. Getting them all riled up and then won't do anything and blame the "mean old liberals."

5. We'll fight them in the streets,

we'll fight them on the beaches, we will be their worst nightmare if they try to take this away from us.
