Pro-life protesters march on US Supreme Court

Tens of thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators have converged on the US Supreme Court to protest its landmark decision 40 years ago this week that legalised abortion in America.

Organisers of the annual "March for Life" on the National Mall in Washington said a record crowd surpassed last year's turnout of 400,000, even with Friday's sub-freezing temperatures.

Al Jazeera's Cath Turner reports from the rally in the capital.

It wasn't a comment made to poke fun at people. It was the truth. Google: "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion", When the Anti-Choice Choose, By Joyce Arthur"

It's not only funny, it's quite true. My favorite story is the girl who got an abortion, then shows up on the very next day with her mom to "play the role of good Christian".

And I can't believe you think a bunch of desert scribblings written by ignorant Middle Easterners in the 4th century are a proper basis to guide your moral compass.

Im a guy so can't have a Abortion, never got anyone pregnant-we use b/c or condoms. Im considering a Vasectomy due to Human Population control (look up "Earth Clock" scary stats) We've also considered Adopting since TONS of kids-teens are in Foster Care. We went to "open house" for it but only 5 people showed up-Gay couple, old single + us. Where r religious prolifers-I support if u Adopt!

thats stupid its over researched by those who actually care you 2 idiots think taking cheep shots is ok

[Charles Geter]

I checked out the site you mentioned. I can't believe you think a bunch of quotes from abortion clinic employees, with information from Planned Parenthood's own booklets, is an unbiased, true representation of the entire anti-abortion movement. All kinds of people who want to abolish abortion are involved, and you can't make sweeping generalizations about this and expect to be unchecked. I know the people in this video; you don't. So don't throw a webpage at viewers and expect all to agree.

Apparently the ability to communitcate is for the stupid as well. I suggest you go back and do your third grade homework if you wish coherence to be associated with your comments.

thats wrong first god is a myth for the stupid

after thousands of past life regressions its known soul takes a while to see if they wish to finish the incarnation if you really care do the homewotk dont talk stupid

[whatsmylineski]

This really does sound like a threat actually. Hm.

Anyway, I am not out to make this a theocracy. I happen to know that there is one God, our Creator, and that God gave you the right to believe what you will. But let's not cross the Constitution that the people signed. Your freedom to believe what you will is also MY freedom. And believe me, I'm a freedom fighter. Let's not get on the wrong sides here. Take care. :)

[jsmetalcore]

you want to make the US a theocracy when the founding fathers wanted a secular country and yes i know i what a deist is, there is a difference between your god and the deist god, if you try to make the US a theocracy you will have a new enemy, this isnt a threat but if you fuck with my freedom of speech and religion, may i say one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, that kinda explains what will happen

[whatsmylineski]

Sir, or ma'am. I am not your enemy. Be blessed.

[whatsmylineski]

You are giving a very false view of Christianity, as well as the founding of this nation. And I will leave it at that.
