A protest has been called to "Defend Women's Reproductive Autonomy, Confront the Right-Wing Invasion, and Shut down the Walk for Life." Poster Pro-choice people will meet at 11:00am on Saturday, January 21st, at Pier 7 on the Embarcadero, San Francisco. Press release

One year ago, the Walk for Life brought thousands of people from other cities to spread an anti-choice/anti-reproductive rights message in the streets of San Francisco. Their march was lined with pro-choice protesters, and Walk for Life was also disrupted and rerouted by civil disobedience. Walk for Life plans to bring a huge crowd again this year, and people from the Bay Area plan to rise up and stop the anti-choice march in its tracks. Walk for Life March Route

Pro-choice activists are concerned by the fact that the Walk for Life shrouds itself in feminist rhetoric. They state that event co-sponsors Feminists for Life, in supporting the criminalization of abortion and women's reproductive rights, would actually cause harm to women. imc_audio.gif Interview with Anita from BACORR

Planned Parenthood Golden Gate says, "This year, we hope to counter (the Walk for Life) with a positive event that will help push our movement forward and allow us to reclaim the moral highground and not amplify the message of our anti-choice visitors." PPGG has called for a candlelight march to be held Saturday evening, January 21st, beginning at 5:00pm in Dolores Park.
