On Thursday, January 22, 2009 the abortion rights movement in the Triangle was in full swing - all 15 of them. The picture above represents the entire crowd present for their "rally" at the Capitol.
As a comparison, you can check out the crowd at the January 17, 2009 Right to Life "March" in downtown Raleigh that had over 1000 attendees. I documented the rally so no one could question the crowd versus the crowd above.

Well, the abortion rights "rally" was supposed to be at the Capitol, but apparently the permit situation got messed up with the Capitol grounds so they had to go elsewhere (as one of the abortion supporters told me).
So they positioned themselves at the corner of Fayetteville Street and Morgan Street. Who knows if they had a permit.
The "Reverend" Tom Rhodes of the Unitarian Fellowship was supposed to give a stirring speech on faith and pro-choice ideology. I guess he got tied up eating a vegan lunch or something.
All in all, I guess you could say the abortion rally got aborted.
Bummer.
(Seriously - you folks on the left need to read your Saul Alinsky. Otherwise you would not do such pathetic events.)
