Walk for Choice

Abortion supporters are protesting the House's attempts to defund Planned Parenthood by holding "Walks for Choice" accross the country on Saturday, February 26. There will be a prayer vigil in Annapolis, where one of these walks is being held, and I would imagine similar pro-life events will be held elsewhere.

What strikes me is the logo for this event (above). The words "We have a voice. We have a choice." appear to me to contradict the image of the faceless woman. The pro-abortion crowd claims that they are the ones who truly care about women and that they are standing up for them and for their rights. However, to me this image of a generic woman with only words for a face implies that individual women with individual personalities and individual needs don't really matter to them, only that they stand for a "woman's right to choose." It saddens me how many women buy into these lies.
