NOW in Nashville


All righty... Here I am, back with some photos. For a few days, at least, assuming I can still operate this software.



Today, I went to a rally sponsored by NOW, whose national convention

is happening here in Nashville this weekend. This was about working for

a moderate replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, of

course. I was recruited to stand in the rear guard, protecting the

speakers for a possible incursion of counter-demonstrators from the

rear. None tried, as it happened, but I was able to get some great

photos from my location.







Carol Moseley Braun was one of the speakers:







This is NOW President, Kim Gandy, being interviewed. In the back you

can see the two counter-protesters who showed up. I just heard the

older one on TV, saying "There are other ways to help women and

children than by having abortions." Feminists agree, but until the

government starts adopting some of those other ways, until every

child is born to a mother who wants her and is fully able to take care

of her, the right to birth control, including abortion, is necessary to

protect the freedom of women.





More pictures soon. Same blog time, same blog channel.
