Pro Life Women's Day on the Hill....TN

The Tennessean ignored it!

About 300 people came to Nashville from all parts of TN on a weekday to participate but of course the Tennessean acted like it did not happen. When doing a small write up of the Freedom from Coercion bill,  at least they got the headcount about right when talking about the number of people crammed into the gallery of the Senate to watch the vote. They said about 100 ....but of course  they called us" "anti abortion" instead of "pro life.".....yes, they were at least  pretty accurate about the number....it was standing room only....with the rest outside or in the legislative halls watching on the screen.

NPR said there were 20 Right to Life supporters in the gallery! Can they count?  Wow....talk about low balling the number....but then it is Joe White at NPR...so what do you expect? Another liberal bastion that refers to us as abortion right OPPONENTS! And they love operating with our tax dollars!

But of course the event was not covered by any news outlet so far...again no surprise. Abby Johnson was the guest speaker and of course her story is not one that Planned Parenthood friends want to publish about her resigning as director of Planned Parenthood after working there seven years and even being named as employee of the year and treated to a luncheon in Washington DC and lunching with Hillary Clinton.

Anyway, it was a good day and even if the local outlets tried to pretend it did not happen. We are here. We are pro life  and like it or not so is the majority of the country especially the youth! They realize that a third of their generation is missing!   We will advocate and we will not be ignored. Ask the pro abortion legislators who are receiving pink slips!
