    Urban liberal circle jerk is redundant.

    At present the standard of proof for campus sexual assault investigations is "a preponderance of evidence." Strictly a women's concern?

    I'm confused. Is the Trump cover the wrap-around?

    I didn't know Matthew Modine was still around.

    What's the point of any protest? To show strength and (hopefully) create new activism and engage voters, right?

    As someone who once marched at that event and finds abortion reprehensible, I'll ask you the same questions that I asked fellow "pro-lifers" whose answers ultimately turned me off from the movement.

    Do you fight as zealously for inmates on death row as you do for the unborn? If not, you're anti-abortion, not pro-life.

    Do you fight for financial assistance for all women who turn to abortion with a heavy heart because they don't know how they'd make ends meet when raising a child, even if that means raising taxes or reallocating government funding? If not, you're pro-birth, not pro-life.

    If a woman opts to terminate a pregnancy for purely selfish reasons, she's evil in my book. But I think the "pro-life" movement has turned every woman seeking an abortion into this evil caricature because it allows them to reconcile their piousness with the fact that they don't care about these babies and mothers once they're born.

    If you have an issue with this rally that's fine, I just want to ask one question: did you take issue with Glenn Beck's tea party rally in 2010 in the same way?

    If the answer is "no," you're done talking.

    Nailed it, NC. My wife, teenage daughter and one of her friends are heading to the local women's march shortly, and I'm proud to be their chauffeur!

    I'll give you all a report of my afternoon spent with a couple thousand women ... ;)

    Seriously, today in our area, there's the annual Pro-Life protest in North Idaho, and the women's rights march in Spokane, Wash. That tells you all you need to know about my region's politics.

    Which side are you on?
