Everyone knows San Francisco is a home to liberalism, yet one of the largest Pro-Life marches took place there over the weekend on the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Thousands carrying signs saying, "Women deserve better than abortion" marched almost silently through the streets while pro-abortion advocates, much smaller in numbers, were more vocal. According to the San Francisco Chronicle:
"Abortion rights advocates, concerned that the Bay Area movement has become too complacent, showed up en masse to protest the march...although easily outnumbered they were loud and confrontational. Many jeered and taunted the marchers, while others stood along the street, waved wire hangers and chanted slogans. One group wore sheets and gowns dipped in red paint to symbolize their image of back-alley abortions."
One demonstrator with the anti-war group Not in Our Name said, "As we come up against this Christian fascism that is condoned by our government, it is more important than ever for people to come into the streets and take a stand."
The bottom line questions on this issue are:
Is a fetus a baby?
Is it right to kill it?
Is it a right?
2006 high school students like those in the above picture are more pro-life than recent classes before them. Being able to see a fetus in the womb through greater technologly, suck it's thumb, etc., is answering the above questions for them. The positive images of life seem to be getting greater results than other images.
If you haven't heard my interview with Jill Stanek, former nurse, who after witnessing a baby born alive and discarded after it was aborted, she set out to see this practice stopped. Three years later she watched President Bush sign the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
