Thousands more turned out for the 2009 Walk for Life West Coast despite a chance of rain. No rain this year, but lots of enthusiasm and excitement as more than 30,000 walked from Justin Herman Plaza along the Embarcadero to Marina Green on Saturday, January 24.
“We shall overcome!” said Frank Lee of Asian Americans Against Abortion.
“We thank God today for this moment. You’re not going away, I’m not going away. This is our moment,” said Rev. Clenard Childress Jr., who rallied the crowd and led the 2 mile Walk.
Also speaking at the event were Diana Nagy, a singer who placed her son for adoption after becoming pregnant at 15, Karen Shablin of Feminists for Life, and Sister of Life Mother Agnes Mary. “We’ve made a lot of progress,” Nagy said, noting that 36 years after the Roe v. Wade decision, “abortion is at an all time low.”
“Let us pass on the love,” Mother Agnes Mary said. “Let us tell the truth, let us change the world.”
More photos have been added here, and we will continue to upload others.

The crowd was the largest ever for a Walk For Life West Coast–well over 30,000 people attended. This is the crowd at Justin Herman Plaza.
