This Saturday, right here where I'm standing, thousands of women will be in Washington, D.C., to participate in the Women's March on Washington, 
which is meant to send a message to the incoming Republican administration that women's rights are human rights.
But recently the march, which was founded on principals of inclusion and equality for all women, has come under controversy
for its decision to exclude and silence the voices of thousands of pro-life women who want to participate. 
I think it's horrible, I think if you're a woman you should be able to march.
While I understand why they made the decision, I don't agree with the decision. We are all sisters, 
I am absolutely pro-choice, but if they want to be there to voice their disagreement with this new regime, they should be there.
Despite these recent developments, pro-lifers say they still are planning on attending
to make it clear that it's possible to be pro-life and pro-women.
Once we first heard about the women's march and seeing their unity principals at the time, it was very intriguing. We thought, "OK, a march for women's rights, you know, 
we're pro-women, we're pro-life." Easily, these two things go together for us.
From day one, they weren't very clear about their stance on whether or not they were specifically pro-choice or pro-abortion, and then as soon as we started 
seeing our partnership ignored, as soon as we started seeing pro-life groups being rejected 
and being told they're not welcome at the march, that was a little shocking to us.
At least one pro-life group applied to be sponsor, a partner, and was accepted, and then ended up being taken off the list.
Other groups have applied and not been accepted at all, even when they've applied multiple times.
In our case, they may just be rubber stamping and they may realize at some point. 
So, you know, I'm hopeful that we will be allowed to stay as a partner and march, so that we can the voices of pro-life women in a march that claims to be about women's rights. 
Organizers of the women's march put out a very progressive platform on the issue of life and abortion, but the reality is, America's views on abortions are a lot more complicated, 
with only 47 percent of Americans identifying as pro-choice and only 19 percent believing that abortion should be legal under any circumstance
This really raises the question about whether or not march organizers should not just be including—but actually should be seeking out the voices of these pro-life women.
The platform taken by the leaders of this march is representative only of the most radical, fringe pro-abortion elements,
so in order to speak for women and to call itself a women's march, this march must include voices of pro-life women
Personally, I see that a lot of the women's march unity principals really match up with what I believe, especially their principals of non-violence, inclusivity.
It's right when they get to the reproductive rights part of it, they define that a little bit differently than I would.
I think one of the major questions that this march has raised is whether or not you can be pro-life and be a feminist.
I think that's a very interesting question. I know that there are many pro-life women that would rather not be considered a feminist and there are many pro-life 
women that consider themselves feminists, and I think that really gets at the crux of the entire issue of women's march, which is, 
there isn't one group of women that have the claim on the term feminist. 
I'm honestly not too surprised that abortion industries like Planned Parenthood have really monopolized the message on this.
They've bulldozed over this idea that women's rights is just their thing. Well, it's not just their thing. We're women, there are pro-life women out there who want to have their voices heard and we 
believe in full women's rights as well. Again, we just extend that to humans who are younger.
If you could say one thing to the leaders of the women's march, what would you tell them?
I would say that it's frustrating and insulting that you'd claim to be inclusive and for human rights,
and yet, leave out women, of all people, who are defending the rights of humans in the womb.
