"I can't tell you how nice it is to be in Washington in a roomful of people who agree with me," Schakowsky said. "We are marching as if our lives depend on it because they do." Williams, a middle-school art teacher and mother of two daugh ters, said she was marching because women deserve the right to make de cisions about their families. Williams, now 52, had an abor tion when she was 28. She said it was the right decision for her at the time, and she supports the right of other women to make the same de cisions. Unwanted children breed crimi nals and other problems in our soci ety," Williams said. "It's nobody's right to say that at that moment you can't do what you feel is right for your family." As the activists made their way from the kickoff breakfast to the Na tional Mall, they were met by about 200 counter-protestors along the march route. Brandi Swindell, the national di rector of Generation Life, said the post Roe v. Wade generation should stand up for the dignity of life. The group, which does not believe in the use of oral contraceptives, said un married people should abstain from sex and married couples should use a condom to prevent pregnancy. "There is no such things as a safe abortion," Swindell said. "A little boy or girl dies and it is terrible on a woman's body." Students from Smith College in Northampton, Mass., filled four school buses Saturday night, sleep ing uncomfortably through the eight-hour trip. Ashley Barton, a freshman study ing education, said some of the stu dents started questioning their deci sion to make the trip midway. "I kept telling them it will be worth it when we get there," Barton said. "And I am really glad we came because I don't think they can really ignore something this size." (c) 2004, Chicago Tribune.
