I find this picture from the March for Women’s Lives Lies interesting. That these protesters would be concerned about people praying the Rosary to end abortion. Of course mainly this is a slam towards the Catholic Church. I am glad that so many people realize that it is the Catholic Church which is the main foe of the attitude and agenda of these marchers. Besides George Bush many of the signs also attacked the Holy Father.
Seeing this sign and these protesters only reminds me to pray a Rosary for these women and women like them. Probably not the reaction they intended, but I hope it is the reaction of many Catholics seeing this.
On a more humorous side. I can’t think of any possible prayer position or circumstance where my Rosary might encounter their ovaries. In fact I don’t want to imagine any such circumstances.

Seriously. My Rosary was given to me by the Knights of Columbus, and they said it was to be kept with me at all times, which, me being a male, pretty much guarantees that it won’t be making contact with any ovaries.
If praying the Rosary was just a silly superstition, as some people would like us to think, The Enemy would not have inspired this slogan.
Keep praying !
My husband and I were confronted once by a pair of pro-abortion protestors, one male, one female; the male kept chanting the above slogan while the female kept silent. When I pointed out to the male that he didn’t have any ovaries, he became outraged. More proof that sin makes one stupid?

Linda-
I think I can top your ‘sin makes you stupid’ story. I read in my local paper today the judge (Phyllis Hamilton)who struck down the ban on partial-birth abortions was quoted as saying it was “grossly misleading and inaccurate” to suggest the banned procedure verges on infanticide! In adition, she said it is “irrelevant” whether the baby feels pain during the procedure! You wonder how she is smart enough to operate her toaster! It’s terrifying to think that someone with the sense and intelligence of the west end of an east bound donkey could be placed in that position. God have mercy on our souls…
What an old-fashioned slogan. Pro-aborts were using this when I was the age of the girls in the picture.
I’ve always wanted to ask this of someone who wants the law to keep away from her body: does this include the presently-existing retrograde laws that prohibit anyone from raping her body? How about laws that discourage people from knocking her body down or running her body over with a car? “Well, that’s different . . .” Feminists don’t appear to have any problem with regarding the law as a private arrangement for permitting them to do as they please without inquiry or hindrance, while making it possible for them to subject the behavior of others to rigorous scrutiny and public retribution.
I’m just glad they didn’t include on the poster one of those little cartoony illustrations. That would have been too awful.
The slogan is based on one from below the Mason-Dixon line around the middle of the 19th century, during another great civil rights dispute, “Keep your emancipation off my plantation!”
Ed:
How very apt.
Get your ovaries away from my rosary!
