If you want to join the peaceful walk for life you are welcome, as every year the Annual Walk for Life of the West Coast will be held, for the right to life of the little ones.
The organizers of the event assure that their intention is to carry a vocal and visual message on behalf of the population of the West Coast, “we want to reach women harmed by abortion, change the perceptions of a society that thinks that abortion is an answer and inform society about the physical and mental damage that abortion causes to women.”
They added that this walk is held every year on or near January 22, since it is the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the day the Supreme Court of the United States made the decision to legalize abortion.
This year there will be an exceptional group of speakers, in addition to many fun and faith-filled activities around the Walk, and there will also be information tables.
The rally begins at 11 a.m. this Saturday, Jan. 25 at the Civic Center Plaza, then will walk down Market Street (2 miles), ending at the Embarcadero/Ferry Building Plaza.
