THE OTHER WOMEN'S MARCH – AT 10:38 A.M. ET:  There's another women's march on Washington, but you won't hear about it in much of the media.  These, after all, are not legitimate women.  From The Hill: 

You probably won’t hear much about the National March for Life in the nation’s capital today.

Despite the fact that over half a million people are projected to gather on the National Mall and march their way to the Supreme Court, you may not even see footage.

On the other hand, the chances that you will see wall-to-wall coverage of another march taking place the following day is extremely high. If last year is any indicator, Saturday’s march will get expansive coverage, countless hashtags, and more celebrity opinions than an episode of TMZ. I am referring, of course, to the Women’s March.

If the March for Life isn’t outright overlooked, it will be painted as a gathering of extremists who, as Justin Trudeau put it this week, aren’t “in line with” society. Whatever the case might be, one narrative will emerge loud and clear this weekend: there is only one march that empowers women — and it’s not the March for Life.

And...

The March for Life will include many women who once believed that abortion means empowerment, but now know that isn’t true. They will be marching, not only for themselves, but to keep other women from believing that same lie. They will be marching to share their own stories and show other women they have a “choice” of another kind, one that brings dignity and respect — choosing life.

COMMENT:  No matter where you stand on abortion, please read the whole piece.   I've noticed that in "progressive" Europe, of all places, the debates on abortion have been quite serious, and thoughtful restrictions have been enacted.  But here, those who are pro-life are often ridiculed and hated.

Abortion has actually been declining in America, and the new generation coming up behind the millennials appears, from polling, to have a more open approach to pro-life arguments.  The debate is ongoing, and far from "settled."
