It's January 22, that propitious day in 1973 when Roe v. Wade liberated women across the country with the right to make medical decisions about their very own bodies. So yes, once again, it must be time for the angry mourners of yesteryear and the glory of male dominance and the hallowed coat hanger to take the streets of Washington for the so-called "March for Life." Wait—what's that you say—it’s also the day for a special 2016 installment of Snowmageddon: The Blustery White Bullseye over the Beltway?!
Oh goodness, what RAPTURE! It's like the end times of D.C. marches and the fundies are plowing forward undaunted, advancing toward the precipice of a second coming.
"There will be no changes to the march," said Ryan Hughes, spokesperson for March for Life. [...]
The march is set to begin at 1 p.m. and proceed down Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court.
At 3 p.m., at precisely the moment when weather forecasters say a blizzard warning will take effect, the March for Life forces plan to hold "Silent No Longer" speeches outside the court followed by visits to members of Congress.
It's the storm to end all storms, expected to be worse than Snowpocalypse 2010, dumping 18 to 24 inches on the Beltway. The governors of Virginia and Maryland and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser have already declared a state of emergency.
Seriously, those guys better be careful. Mother nature ain't screwing around, says the Washington Post.
To be safe you’ll want to be hunkered down by around 3 p.m. at the absolute latest.
