San Francisco's 4th Annual Walk for Life, Counter Demonstration
"May the fetus you save be gay!" Eight Nevadans literally just off of the bus from Reno ran a gauntlet of counter-demonstrators on the Embarcadero. Larger version of this photo here. Complete gallery here.
We told you it was coming. The Fourth Annual Walk for Life West Coast went down today. A huge crowd of people showed up. From where? All over. See which cities here.
Didn't seem as contentious as in years past. Read IndyBay's take on it and see some photos if you want. Speaking of photos, we've got ten more after the jump. See you there.
Walk for Lifers, locked arm in arm, Selma style, and the horse they rode in on. From Reno to Hell in about four hours on a bus.
Tommi Avicola Mecca, Italian, Queer, Dangerous, played guitar for the small crowd gathered for the pro-choice counter demonstration.
Hang a left at the priest. The Walk for Lifers might have preferred to have their rally closer to the Ferry Building, but clever pro-choice locals got a reservation for their own rally with a quickness this year. The two groups were well separated.
The costs for all this? About $50 a second in overtime and related expenses, mas o menos. Hey, who pays for that?
How many people came to the Walk for Life? Tens of thousands, a huge crowd this year.
Alveda King, self-proclaimed "reformed murderer" and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The Stanford Students for Life were there.
A local militant vegan youth complete with AK-47 assault rifle iconography and a brakeless fixed-gear bike. Surprise! He's a "Vegan 4 Life."
It took about 45 minutes for all the Walkers to exit their rally area. They outnumbered the pro-choice counter demonstrators by about thirty to one (maybe more), it seemed.
You got to keep 'em separated. The SFPD did a good job today doing just that.
