Thousands of pro-life feminists and supporters are expected to walk along San Francisco’s waterfront bringing a message of hope and life in the Second Annual Walk for Life West Coast on January 21, 2006.
Last year’s inaugural walk drew an unprecedented 7,500 walkers and organizers expect more this year, with walkers coming from as far away as Alaska, Washington State and even as far south and east as Texas and Florida, said fourth generation San Franciscan Dolores Meehan, Walk co-chair.
“Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women,” says Serrin M. Foster, president, Feminists for Life of America, one of three main speakers slated to address a rally before the 2 ½ mile trek along San Francisco’s scenic waterfront.
The Walk theme is “Women Deserve Better than Abortion,” the signature slogan of Feminists for Life.
The other speakers will be the Rev. Clenard Childress, North East regional director of Life Education and Resource Network and founder of BlackGenocide.org, and Star Parker, founder and president of the Los Angeles-based Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education.
“In every generation there is a people who rise above complacency and mediocrity and cry against injustices that deny access and privilege to its citizens,” said Childress, an African American Baptist pastor. “Such are those who will march in the streets of San Francisco for the well-being of our most precious citizens, whose rights have continually been denied and their lives destroyed.”
