Hopefully this will open some eyes.

I have a problem with the slogan though. While abortion definitely hurts those who perpetrate it, we usually think of the victims of murder before we think of the murderers.
However, there are tens of millions of women in the country who have had abortions and they often become some of the most effective proponents of life.
Definitely. My concern is with making it appear the foremost wrong, when killing babies is the foremost wrong.
I agree, but these programs are working.
The right to life, which all humans have.
Put it in those terms and the San Francisco garbage will be destroyed - the one thing they claim to be champions of is human rights.
Why can they not defend the most basic right?
West Coast Walk for Life is NOT just conservatives. It includes 'Democrats for Life' and other groups who oppose abortion on feminist grounds.
Still, you don’t want to distort the main reason why abortion is wrong. If they had two billboards, to have one focus on the women would be fine, provided that the other focuses on the primary victims.
Short of tar and feathering liberal judges, I can’t think of anything better than doing this. Congrats to all involved. Hopefully this will spread.
Legal abortion on demand must be stopped. Just as it grew in favor over the years after Roe v Wade, with things like this, it will grow in disfavor. We must win the hearts and minds of the people and the way to do this is to keep the victims front and center. One of the problems with making people understand the enormous evil of this practice, is that they never see the victims. I would love to attend one of these and God willing one day I will. In the mean time, I will continue to pray the rosary every Friday in front of one of the clinics here in Vegas, help with the crisis pregnancy centers and support the only home for unwed teen mothers here in Nevada.
We must do all we can. We are not asked to win the war, but to continue to fight the battle, trusting in Jesus and His mother to hear our cries for mercy for the women and children harmed in this holocaust.
What is better, failing to end abortion because some would do it for the wrong reason - because it harms the mother's psyche - or ending it by any argument available?
Eliminating abortion will please God!
Thank God for the SFPD, they do an outstanding job!
I don’t disagree with any of that, but how do you know that for every convert to pro-life who converts out of concern for women there isn’t ten potential converts who do not convert because the pro-life message was not clear about the principal victims?
It’s like calling for a crusade by pointing out that Arab women wear uncomfortable clothes.
The message that abortion is murder is not new and most have heard it, though they may disagree. The message that abortion hurts the women it is supposed to help IS relatively new.
I hope this innovation doesn’t cloud the real message.
So tell me, what March is going on where you live?
I live in Sacramento and am likely to be in the SF one, if I can get my ducks in a row.
Excellent! I think they have buses from some churches in Sacramento!
