Anti-Abortion Activists Pound the Pavement

As many gathered in celebration of the Inauguration, some protestors stood with a specific purpose. Anti-abortion activists lined the corners of 12th and E street, holding signs that read "Abortion is an ObamaNation." The message, combined with disturbing images on their posters, made many people stop and take notice. 

The contrast was striking. The dozens of Obama supporters energized by his promises stood right next to the protestors who disagreed with them. As a new leader takes office, the activists have a new agenda. The organization's mission is to expose Obama's pro-choice policies and prevent them from going any further. One of the most important jobs of any president is his decisions about the U.S. Supreme Court.

One woman from Tennessee said she will protest all she can to keep Obama from nominating a pro-choice justice. The ObamaNation group is her way of getting out her message, and she did not want to waste any time. It is why she is here on the day of Obama's Inauguration. She pounded the pavement as one of the few proteststors braving the crowd of supporters on this cold Tuesday morning.
