SAN FRANCISCO, January 24, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Walk for Life West Coast is demanding to be seen and heard and in the mainstream media. This year, Walk for Life organizers are asking participants to take to the "twittersphere" to “end the media blackout.” Saturday will be the tenth year pro-lifers have taken to the streets of San Francisco and, year after year, Walk organizers have noticed a reliable lack of media coverage, especially in the local media. However, they have also noticed the increasing youthfulness of the crowd, and their social media accounts. So this year, when 50,000 smart-phone-toting...

Thousands march against abortion in S.F. Thousands of abortion protesters marched along San Francisco's waterfront Saturday, hectored by a smaller band of abortion rights supporters, as both sides marked the impending anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that established those rights 35 years ago. Although passions ran high in both camps, the event - what is becoming an annual trek by the anti-abortion movement into what they consider the heart of abortion rights territory - was peaceful.

As marchers gather in Washington, D.C., for the March for Life today, Jan. 24, pro-lifers across the country have been gathering for days. On Saturday, Jan. 22, in downtown San Francisco, Walk for Life West Coast broke another record: More than 40,000 people gathered to hear pro-life speakers, pray and stand united for an end to abortion. The seventh-annual walk took place on the 38th anniversary of Roe v.

A group of pro-abortion protesters filed into the pro-life crowd at the Walk for Life West Coast 2011. They bring their banner in front of the EWTN cameras, which were filming live, and to a more elevated piece of land where more visible to the pro-life crowd. This led to a pro-life blockade, where Father Joseph Fessio, founder and editor of Ignatius Press, and a group of pro-lifers (including myself after I put my camera away) linked arms to block the pro-death banner.

Lots of pics!

San Francisco, Jan. 6, 2010 -- Two young women who stood on opposite sides of the abortion debate until a few months ago will headline the 6th Annual Walk for Life West Coast on January 23rd as more than 30,000 peaceful pro-life activists walk along San Francisco’s waterfront. “Abortion is wicked and hurts children, women and men – our speakers this year directly address the huge financial and political clout of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider and recipient of $350 million in tax dollars annually,” said Walk co-chair Eva Muntean. Planned Parenthood clinics perform about one third of...

An unidentified blogger on the web site of the left-leaning San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center has rebuked the pro-homosexual movement in the city for failing to show up at a counter-demonstration to the 5th annual Walk for Life West Coast on Sunday, where an estimated 30,000 people peacefully marched in opposition to abortion. Walk for Life opponents had earlier called participants in the annual event “anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage terrorists,” and sought to organize a counter-demonstration of “hundreds of thousands of pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage people.” Instead, said the blogger, “We had perhaps 100 people at our pro-abortion...
