Walk For Life - San Francisco 2010

Not even constant showers drenching many, could keep West Coast pro-life forces home today as tens of thousands streamed into San Francisco to bear witness to the personal, moral and societal damage caused by abortion.

Coalescing around the idea that Women Deserve Better, the 6th annual "Walk for Life" was by all accounts a successful demonstration that not even San Francisco, perhaps the most liberal city in America, could escape a call to public accountability over this serious issue.

With an estimated 23,000-25,000 braving the elements, young, old and in between gathered at the foot of Market St. at Justin Herman Plaza, scene of innumerable leftist demonstrations through the years. The mood was light yet reflective as an army of busses ferried the faithful to the site

Speakers at the event coming from as far away as Paris, France, delivered enthusiastic and uplifting speeches as the crowd huddled together to stay warm

Nicely done and quick! But that estimate is way low. There had to be upwards of 40 to 50 thousand. It was the biggest one so far.

Thanks for sharing!

To be honest, crowd size - over maybe 10-15k - means nothing really, not to diminish your input.

What is important, key to this journalist, is that thousands and thousands of men women and kids were willing to come out in lousy weather from all over the West Coast to bear public witness to their faith.

That is the big message here.

For the record I have covered dozens of huge protests and have a pretty good feel for what a crowd of 50k or 100k looks like, this was a bit smaller.

It was a cold, wet day, but well worthwhile.

i maintain the belief that only people who arent getting some are against abortion

That day was cold and rainy but when we started marching and knowing that we were giving the unheard voices made all of us forget that it was even raining....
