Bringing life to Embarcadero

Annual San Francisco walk draws tens of thousands of pro-life activists

A crowd of people, many holding pro-life signs and slogans, makes its way down a San Francisco street during the annual Walk for Life West Coast Jan. 21.
Tens of thousands of pro-life activists massed in front of San Francisco's City Hall and then filled the city's main thoroughfare Jan. 21, walking about two miles down Market Street to the Embarcadero.

Banging drums, praying and chanting "We are pro-life," the enthusiastic throngs stopped traffic for more than a mile in a peaceful walk that took about an hour.  An hour before the opening prayer at Civic Center, signs jutted above a sea of people: "Defend Life," "Men Regret Lost Fatherhood," "California Nurses for Ethical Standards" and "Thank God You Were Not Aborted."
