I was a Catholic in the process of getting divorced and went at the urging of my friends. I took my then 14 year old daughter with me. What an amazing experience! I was just so angry about the Iraq war and Bush policies that I decided to go to my first demonstration, mainly for my anti-war/Bush reasons. I am so glad I went! All of the people were so wonderful and I felt immediately that I belonged there. VERY proudly pro-choice ever since!

I remember Hillary speaking wonderfully and really energizing the crowd!!!
