Women's Rights March

No word yet on whether or not most were barefoot.

That's a joke, son.

Not surprisingly, CNN is running a very low estimate of the number of protestors. And the NYT, perhaps in the interest of "fairness," spends too much article space on people protesting the protestors.

So, even though there were several hundred thousand marchers, a couple of hundred anti-choice people get column space. You do the math.

Finally, Karen Hughes, after emerging from her crypt and removing most of the layer of slime that normally covers her, had the following to say:

"I think that after September 11, the American people are valuing life more and we need policies to value the dignity and worth of every life," she said. "President Bush has worked to say, let's be reasonable, let's work to value life, let's reduce the number of abortions, let's increase adoptions. And I think those are the kinds of policies the American people can support, particularly at a time when we're facing an enemy and, really, the fundamental issue between us and the terror network we fight is that we value every life."

(Emphasis added)

If Karen Hughes values life so much, perhaps she can explain this. If that's valuing life, I don't want to know what devaluing it looks like.

But back to her statement. According to her logic, Planned Parenthood is no longer an organization committed to women's health, sexual education, and responsible procreation. Rather, it, like the NEA, is at the very least a group that sympathizes with terrorists, if it doesn't support them outright. I'm sure that John Ashcroft (R-Choad) is gleefully awaiting applying the might of the DOJ to fight these America-hating terrorists.
