San Francisco, Calif., Jan 21, 2010 / 06:34 am
The sixth Annual Walk for Life West Coast will bring together more than 35,000 pro-life activists on Jan. 23 to advocate an end to “the violence of abortion.” Attendees will hear pro-life speakers describe how abortion hurts women and how all people have a right to life.
The Walk for Life event begins with a rally at 11 a.m. at Justin Herman Plaza. The walk itself starts at noon and proceeds for two miles along San Francisco’s waterfront. It ends in sight of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Attendees come from colleges, high schools and church congregations that range from being local to as far away as Colorado and Texas.
This year marks the joining of San Francisco and Paris as pro-life “sister cities” as Paul Ginoux-Defermont, an organizer of the Marche Pour Le Respect de la Vie will attend.
