So, Beth and I just had the most fabulous weekend. We headed down to D.C. for Women's Rights March. That was definitely the coolest thing that I have ever done in my life and it was just so empowering and exciting to be around all of these people banded together for the same cause. I don't know if everyone had seen the news or read the paper since yesterday, but there were almost 1 million people that came...the biggest march/protest in the history of the United States. The Religious Right did show up to protest our protest. I took some pictures of some of their signs because they were particularly funny. One guy was holding up a sign that said, "You like beat children and torture young girls." Which didn't make a lot of sense to us because what does that have to do with anything. Another one just held up a sign that said, "Abortion is bad." At least be a little more eloquent with your protest. They also showed up at the Take Back the Night rally the night before. One man just kept yelling into his megaphone, "You just want an excuse to fornicate and fornication is bad." These people sounds really smart. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend and one that I will remember for the rest of my life. We took tons of pictures and when they are finally developed I will let you all see them.
