2004-04-26 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- Vowing to take their fury to the polls in November, hundreds of thousands of women rallied on the National Mall on Sunday to protest what they view as Bush administration policies restricting reproductive rights.

Though there were no official estimates from authorities, informal counts ranged from 500,000 to the organizers' own estimate of 1.15 million people -- a number that they said makes it the largest abortion rights rally in history.

The "March for Women's Lives," sponsored by a coalition of leading women's organizations, brought together protesters from 60 countries and 1,400 different groups -- including an estimated 10,000 women from California who flew, drove and chartered buses in order to march in Washington.

Ten years, this picture was a rally ten years ago and we are still fighting for our rights and fighting for our lives!

This is about women's rights, equal rights for everyone and our right and privilege to vote without the GOP's evil hand trying to restrict our access to the voting booth. If you want to be heard then vote. Get everyone you know to turn out in 2014.

If you don't think you are fighting for your life, think again.

GOTV 2014 it's time to clean house.
