Apparently there are voices of sanity in San Francisco.
Via The College Fix:
Tens of thousands of people, many of whom millennials, converged Saturday in the streets of San Francisco to protest abortion, but they were greeted by a rowdy counter-protest as they marched for the unborn.
As the massive throng walked with a banner declaring “we are the pro-life generation,” they were met by dozens of protesters who challenged their message with rude hand gestures and signs stating “stop patriarchy,” “abortion is good” and “forced motherhood is female enslavement.”
San Francisco police officers maintained peace, but a couple of protesters were handcuffed – two people Toplesswho stood in the middle of the street, bare chested, with “Abortion is sacred” written on their chests and stomach. While handcuffed they yelled, “Fraud! Fake! Liars!”
Students for Life Rocky Mountain Regional Coordinator Lauren Castillo said the stark difference in the tone of the marchers and counter-protestors speaks volumes.
“We are the feminists that represent the original values of feminists, and we empower each other, but we don’t have to get nude to do that,” she told The College Fix. “We can respect our bodies and be powerful women without taking our clothes off.”
Castillo added the marchers “welcome and invite protesters into an environment that is a place of forgiveness and mercy to possibly post-abortive people.”CounterProtest2
Saturday’s event marked the twelfth annual West Coast Walk for Life, which observes the Jan. 22, 1973, Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade. The decision legalized abortion in the U.S., and since then more than 54 million pre-born babies have been killed.
