The throngs drifted into the well-manicured park just next to the Embarcadero Center at the crack of dawn; but soon - as heavy rains drenched the upscale neighborhood - protesters were wallowing in mud and huddling under a myriad of spritely-colored umbrellas ever-vigilent about the cause nonetheless.
"Today, there will be abortionists amongst us who will try to sully our event, but we will not engage," a spokesperson cried out to the large contingent of Pro-Lifers who were there to let their voices be heard and march on behalf of family and Christian values.
Ubiquitous signs screamed out from all corners of the park and included images of Christ and the Virgin Mary.

"Recently we have been inundated with the thousands of faces of the dead victims of the Haiti earthquake. But, the images of the hundreds of thousands of babies who were murdered in abortion clinics is more shocking and disturbing," the Church leader noted in so many heartfelt words.
For many, at the moment of conception, there is a spark of life.
At that moment, Buddhists - for instance - believe that the soul of the child has entered this earthly plane, and is entitled to experience life according to God's plan.
Ever since Roe v. Wade the controversial issue has never let up or fallen by the wayside.
For good reason.
Quotes on abortion:
If the anti-abortion movement took a tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine.
Michael Jay Tucker
Republicans are against abortion until their daughters need one, Democrats are for abortion until their daughter wants one.
Grace McGarvie
I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.
Ronald Reagan
Of course abortion isn't right. But it is even less right to bring unwanted children into lifelong suffering and to strip women of their choice. Making abortion illegal is not the way to prevent it. There is a much larger picture that starts with much deeper roots.

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
Florynce R. Kennedy
With humans it's abortion, but with chickens it's an omelet.
George Carlin
