Pro-"Choice" Counter Rally

~ Laura ~ 3 Comments

      This past Saturday, while around 60,000 pro-lifers gathered for the Walk for Life, around 80 pro-“choicers” gathered for their West Coast Rally for Reproductive Rights in San Francisco, CA. They held the rally to protest our walk, and our “anti-abortion” agenda…apparently attempting to stop the Walk for Life, which proved unsuccessful. Take a look at these pictures, and my post from yesterday to see the stark difference between life and death.

This was the pro-choice “protest”…need I say more?
Trying to block the walk using an orange plastic fence decorated with hangers. How festive.
Not too happy that police are telling him to move

I can see one, maybe two people standing there trying to block the walk…
Being moved away

Protesters also tried to block the walk by linking hands and refusing to move. I can’t seem to find those pictures now. These next photos are some of the people I saw en route to Justin Herman Plaza.

This really make me want to support abortion. No, really. Ya’ll pro-choicers better stop dressing up in creepy costumes before all my pro-life homies are swayed by you!

Yes, telling me that Jesus likes abortion makes me want to support you as well.

The classic pro-choicer with a hanger: because we pro-lifers want you to have a back ally abortion…

Happy, aren’t they?

I show you these pictures not to scare you, or to shame these people. I show them so you can see what truly happened at the Walk for Life 2012.

What strikes me the most when I see people this willing to support death is that these people need our prayers. They are so conflicted and angry. There is so much hate inside of them that Satan preys on. We need to pray that our peaceful witness to life will touch their hearts. We need to pray that they overcome the evil that the culture of death has sucked them into. Please join me in praying for these people that they will one day come to the realization that abortion is wrong, and that they find peace through the grace of God.

Pro-Life
Pro-“choice”

Now you tell me: Who is going to win this battle for life? 

Walk for Life West Coast – A Photographic Journey

~ Laura ~ 1 Comment

 As expected, the media has once again failed at reporting events that are not a part of their culture of death.

Yes, they failed even more miserably than this poor dog 🙂

I’m guessing that if we gathered 60,000 people for pretty much any other cause, we would have been ALL OVER the news. But no, the media doesn’t want to report things that might ruin their “my body, my choice” mentality – even if it’s a gathering of say, THOUSANDS of people!!! Well, that’s fine by me. The pro-life movement is growing by leaps and bounds, and the media not reporting on our events can’t put a damper on our passion for life!

In light of the media attention failure, I bring to you my Walk for Life West Coast Photographic Journey 2012. My brother and I took all these picture, and I’ve included info on them so you know what they’re of. Feel free to share, but please link back to this post 🙂

Here the crowd begins to form at the Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco, California just before 11am. We could not have asked for more perfect weather. Thank you God!

Fr. Frank Pavone – what an inspiration! 

Women from the Silent No More Awareness Campaign share their abortion stories

These stories remind me of why we’re in this movement. We’re here because abortion is part of destructive lifestyle, and we believe women and men deserve better than abortion (not to mention the babies). We were made for far greater things.

It’s inspirational and moving to see the courage these women have in sharing their stories and speaking out against the evil of abortion.

The crowd gathers, completely filling the Civic Center Plaza. Can we say, sardines perhaps?

Getting the crowd excited!!

Lori Hoye shares her testimony to life

Cheering for the place you come from. Go west coast!!

Dr. Wong shares his conversion story.

The abortion movement is the civil rights movement of our day.

You can see the Our Lady of Peace Church banner in yellow there

“You are the salt of the earth,” Rev. Childress told the Walk for Life crowd. “This is more than a pro-life movement. This is a holy spirit movement because the spirit addresses evil.”

Walkers as far as you can see

We are the pro-life generation, and we will not rest until abortion become unthinkable in America! 

Respect life from the womb to the tomb

We’ll see you next year – only if abortion remains here in America!

 What’s up next? A photographic journey of the pro-“choice” counter rally. Check back tomorrow night to see the stark contrast between the two, and “like” my blog on Facebook if you haven’t already. Thanks!

Also up next: “What do you mean by choice” day, and why the pro-life movement will triumph. Stay tuned!

What do you mean by "choice"?

Is this what “choice” looks like?

Today is the 39th anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade supreme court decision that made abortion legal in America. The decision was passed because it was determined that under our constitution, we are entitled to a right to privacy, which includes the right to make a private decision to have an abortion. Well, I just went through the constitution, and didn’t see anything sayin’ we have a right to make private medical decisions about abortions. So yeah…I need to go ask George Washington if I missed a line or something here. Check it out for yourself, and let me know if you see something saying we have a right to make the private medical decision to have an abortion.

39 years later, we have the pro-life and pro-“choice” sides of the abortion debate. Pro-lifers fight for the right to life for all people from conception until natural death. Pro-choicers fight for a woman’s right to control her body using abortion, and contraception.

I see comments all the time about this “choice” to have an abortion, but I ask you: What do you mean by choice?


Do you mean the choice to end your child’s life? Do you mean the choice to hurt your own body and put your life in danger? Do you mean the choice to deprive your partner of his fatherhood? Do you mean the choice to kill?

What does this choice to have an abortion do? Take a look at this. (Warning: link contain graphic images). Is that what “choice” looks like?

Now you’re probably thinking “Laura, this is a silly question. By ‘choice’ I mean the right to choose what to do with my own body!” But think a little deeper. What does this choice do? What are you fighting for if you fight for this choice? Regardless of which side you identify with, think about it for a minute, then answer me this:


What do you mean by choice? 

Walk for Life: Stay Tuned!

How incredible it is to be a part of this pro-life movement! I am so thankful to be fighting for life as we draw closer and closer to the day when abortion will be abolished in our country. Today was the 8th Annual Walk for Life West Coast, and it was absolutely wonderful. We heard from many people who gave their abortion testimonies, which were a reminder of why we are here in the movement for life. We’re here because ALL life is important, and ALL life deserves to be protected and defended from conception until natural death.  

Check back over the next couple days for more information on how the walk went, and how YOU can help abolish abortion. I have many pictures and insights to share!

Blog for Choice!

~ Laura ~ Leave a comment

To commemorate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the pro-abortion group NARAL created the “Blog for Choice” Day where participants are encouraged to let their readers know that “a woman’s right to choose is a core progressive value that must be protected.” Well, us pro-lifers are smart cookies, and catch on real quick. For the second year in a row, we’re combating the culture of death with the “Ask them what they mean by choice” Blog Day hosted by pro-life blogging superwoman, Jill Stanek. On this day, pro-life participants flood their blogs, twitters, and Facebooks with comments about “choice”, asking what people really mean by it. You can check out Jill’s post on the topic here.

Last year this unified effort had a huge impact on the abortion world. If you have a blog, Twitter, or Facebook, can you commit to making a few comments about “choice” on Sunday?
