    These photos capture the energy and anger of the two pro-choice marches downtown, and I thank you for taking them, Ben. It was great that so many people made signs and loudly marched though it was 101-degrees during the 2nd one. “Forced birth is not pro-life” sums it up. Never stop until a majority of voters hears and understands.
