Horrified at the latest encroachments on the rights and freedom of women in the US?

Do charts like this freak you the fuck out? (Source)

Are you pissed off that your access to birth control is under attack? Or that some politicians are trying to enforce vaginal ultrasounds before abortions? Or that Santorum thinks your sex and body are his business? Starting to feel like we've taken a huge step backward in terms of women's advancement?

THEN PROTEST!

I know some people (understandably) don't have a Facebook, and this thing doesn't appear to have an off-FB site, but please take a look-see at THIS.

The deets:

On Saturday, April 28th, there will be a National Protest Against the War on Women.

This protest will be at every state capitol, plus D.C.

This organizing page has the links to each states' page (on the right sidebar, click "see more", and scroll down).

EDIT: They now have an off-FB page. We Are Woman March on Washington compiles all the Facebook groups, events, and pages.

I'm not the organizer of any of these events. I'm just another pissed off woman who's planning to attend.

I might have to go to the DC protest then.

Hopefully it won't be a complete zoo... unlike the Colbert/Stewart protest a while back, where they didn't add extra trains to the Metro and it took me three hours to go on a trip that usually takes 15 minutes.

I'm hoping my little bitty state will have a protest that's bigger than just me.

Well, there are university students, so that's a likely pool of protestors...

For me, it's a heck of a lot easier to get to DC than to get to Annapolis.
