    ...that the Women's March has a doctrinal statement?

    I'm not particularly surprised, but I had not heard about it. It may be old news to many of you, but I read about it on Denny Burk's blog. He writes, "In advance of the march, the organizers published a doctrinal statement titled “Unity Principles.” Anyone who departed from the doctrinal statement was not allowed to “partner” with the march."

    I drilled through the link provided in the OP for the actual list. So, here is the list from the Women's March site.

    Annsi, I think those are the main ones, but I suspect they have a spin on all of them that might not be acceptable to moderate to conservative to fundamental Christian women.

    In fact, I figure that the second sentence in the introductory paragraph could be rewritten to states:

    "We must create a society in which women - including Black women, Native women, poor women, immigrant women, disabled women, Muslim women, lesbian queer and trans women - are free and able to care for and nurture their families, however they are formed, in safe and healthy environments free from structural impediments -- as long as they are not pro-life Christian women."
