Yahoo! News - Women's Rights Marchers Gather in D.C.
WASHINGTON - Protesters from California, Texas and the Carolinas rally on the National Mall for women's reproductive rights, joining marchers from Denmark, Germany and Kenya. Activists from nearly 60 countries say they'll attend Sunday's event, standing with their American counterparts not only in unity but to highlight the plight of women's health abroad.

As the list of sponsors, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, attests, abortion rights in the United States is the rallying point but not the only issue at stake for these protesters. Organizers have sought to broaden the gathering to include birth control, sex education and better health care for women worldwide.

Wish I could be there with ya...go get 'em girls (and guys).
