SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — Members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have taken aim at anti-abortion banners placed on busy Market Street. Supervisor David Campos and six other supervisors are supporting a resolution opposing the banners and questioning their legality.

The banners were put up by Walk for Life West Coast, a San Francisco based anti-abortion group that holds an annual rally in the city, scheduled for January 25th in Civic Center Plaza.

Eva Muntean of Walk for Life said her group obtained a permit and met all the criteria for their banners.

Muntean said the resolution flies in the face of San Francisco’s reputation as a tolerant city, noting its tolerance doesn’t seem to extend to different points of view.

Another great fire needs to sweep through that city. A fire of real revival. Turning to Christ. What a beautifully sad city.

I’m amazed the supervisors have not led a torch-wielding mob to the site of the banners and publicly burned them. That is the sort of tolerance practiced by those who consider baby-butchering a basic human right.

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

“Supporting a resolution opposing the banners and questioning their legality.”

If he wants to question their legality, let him start by reading the 1st amendment. Better yet, maybe he should read the whole Constitution.

If another earthquake hits the place, my wallet will be firmly shut.

9/11 proved that nothing can knock the liberal mindset out of a city.

I bet banners for a gay pride parade are okay.

A picture’s worth a thousand words. Show them instead of banners.
