More than 30,000 pro-life advocates rally in Justin
Herman Plaza in San Francisco on a rainy Jan. 23 before a walk along the
Embarcadero to Marina Green to affirm all human life, including that of
the unborn.

These women are among many who recited the rosary while walking from
the Ferry Building to the Marina. The Walk is held annually around
the date of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 decision legalizing
abortion. |

Many of the participants walk as groups representing
parishes and Catholic organizations. Oakland Bishop Salvatore Cordileone
concelebrated a pre-Walk Mass in St. Mary’s Cathedral along with more
than 40 priests and bishops and 2, 200 worshippers. Archbishop George Niederauer
was the principal concelebrant.
