It would have been cataclysmic. I can say this because there is absolutely no way to refute or otherwise argue against any point for which the basis of which has not happened.
A complete and utter disaster, raping, looting, property damage and thousands dead. The US Customs and Border Protection would have let Canadians in to protest for men as well.
Hey! it did prevent the 7,458,234th bomb from being dropped in Vietnam!

SHAPIRO: But give us a preview. I mean, you've announced there'll be 10 actions in a hundred days. Specifically, what's the next step?
INGRAM: Well, I don't want to get out ahead of myself. And - since you've seen the website, you know that we have postcards that we are sending out to elected officials. And we're encouraging people to march on and to continue to advocate for whatever your issue is.
SHAPIRO: Ultimately, how will you measure whether this movement has been successful or not?
INGRAM: Well, I think it definitely is about engagement. I think we've clearly made history. And so that in and of itself, there's a place in the history books where this effort will be noted. But I think for all of us, we are committed to ensuring that that's just not the end of it - that there is some actual substantive change, that we move the ball for all of the people that we march for, whether it's our mothers, our grandmothers, our daughters, our sisters, our friends or the little girls that we don't even know yet. But we know we want to see a better future for them than the one that we're currently living in.
Its going to be fun to return to this thread in 6 months.
I guess you hippies missed it in 2009 when, 2 days after Obama's Inaguration, the Right to Life protests / marches started.
There were millions world wide.

In 1987, approximately 5,000 participated, despite a snowstorm.[13]

From 2003 to 2009, the March for Life brought in around 250,000 attendees each year.[citation needed] According to organizers, the 2011's event was attended by 400,000.[3][5][15][16] The 2013 March for Life drew an estimated 650,000 people.[4][disputed – discuss] However, both NPR and The New York Times reported an estimated "tens of thousands" at the 2013 event.[17][18] Organizers of the event have not disclosed how they measure the attendance.
In 2016, the march had proceeded despite a blizzard that dropped 24 inches of snow in D.C., with attendees "appeared to be in the thousands".[19]
Many teenagers and college students attend the march each year, typically traveling with church/youth groups. The Washington Post columnist Robert McCartney estimated that about half of the marchers are under age 30
You talkin' about the March for Life that's been happening every year since 1974, and normally takes place on January 22nd, two days after inauguration?I guess you hippies missed it in 2009 when, 2 days after Obama's Inaguration, the Right to Life protests / marches started.

I held a woman's rally in my house that day but no ladies came.
