Anti-Abortion Rally - Dallas, Texas - February 11, 2017

On this day, hundreds of anti-abortion rallies were held across the United States, most of them in front of Planned Parenthood clinics.   Many of them were met with heavy opposition from counter protesters.

Interesting views of humans behind either curtain. Obviously this cause creates a lot of commitment.

The documentation is excellent once again, Rick. Do keep up the good work.

Strong series of images, as always.  Makes me think.

I have more to add.  It is difficult to photograph something like this without it having an effect on you. Emotions are running high and either you agree with the actors or you disagree.  One way or the other it will get to you.  Rick shot this in our mild winter weather.  Try this in the summer when it is hotter than hell, and I guarantee you stuff happens all summer  long here.

Today it was 85F in Houston, around 30C, in the middle of winter, so think about what our summers are like.

I think that you've caught the emotion on both sides, Rick. Nice shots.
