NARAL on its own wouldn't have mentioned the bombing of Iraq, but at 
the protest a bunch of different groups showed up (the turnout was 
about 100), with a few NARAL activists in attendance dwarfed by 
others.

Sullivant Elementary School, which Bush visited, is surrounded by 
low-income, predominantly African-American neighborhoods, so lots of 
African-American showed up, with signs highlighting black 
disfranchisement.

A motley crew of local leftists (mainly religious lefties), 
naturally, brought signs protesting the bombing & made sure they were 
visible to TV cameras -- which got us a precious media exposure of 
less than one second.  :(
