San Francisco | Womyn"Walk for Life" Counter-Protest
January 21, 2006 - The second annual "Walk for Life" rally brought in thousands of right-wing christian fundamentalists and abortion opponents to San Francisco's waterfront. They were met by a determined group of pro-choice advocates and women's rights activists bearing green balloons and coathangers, letting them know their hypocritical right-wing pro-Bush patriarchal agenda is not welcome here. ![]() dsc00686x.jpg

Many abortion opponents were allowed to roam freely and cross the line to confront protesters - exhibiting their religious zealotry and condemning everyone as "sinners".

Their was no response on that, but a only a repetitive prayer: "Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for "the" sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen." Same response when another protester asked them about the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic church.
