Quietly gathering around the march were women and men \u2014 and college students \u2014 organized under a group called Silent No More, which works with families suffering from abortion. Their permit request was denied after an effective effort from the supposedly freedom-loving sisters who organized the “March for Women’s Lives.” (Said Georgette Forney, president of NOEL, one of the groups that makes up the Silent No More coalition (the other being Priests for Life), “It’s ironic that they are marching to protect women’s right to choose and at the same time working to deny us our right to talk about the pain abortion caused us. We are the faces of the choice they promote.”) So, Silent No More adjusted plans, remapped their routes, and had a little prayer chain around the march under another group’s permit. No pictures of aborted fetuses from them. No yelling. No hating. They held signs that said “Women Deserve Better,” “I Regret Lost Fatherhood,” and “I Regret My Abortion.” One sign was simply a happy face that said, “I Am Pro-life.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
