California Catholic Daily exclusive.
On Sunday, January 14, 2018 this short email was sent out by an East Bay pro-life activist:
“A small group of friends have been praying in front of this clinic since 2009 (this is where Walter was arrested) in Oakland, near Jack London square.
We went to pray Saturday, as usual. It was closed, as it sometimes is. After I left, Felix and Sherry went across the street and saw this sign! [below]
December! Our Lady’s month! Wooo Hooo!”
The clinic mentioned in the email was the Family Planning Specialists of Oakland, Ca, and the “Walter” mentioned in the email is Oakland pro-life activist the Rev. Walter Hoye, whose 2008 arrest under Oakland’s “bubble ordinance” galvanized the pro-life movement.
On the Family Planning Specialists website, a popup directs abortion-seeking clients to Women’s Options Center at San Francisco General Hospital for “the same high-quality medical care you have learned to expect from FPS”.

Rev. Walter and his wife Lori are truly the modern day Saints of our time!!!
Walter, “well done, good and faithful servant”!
Well this is some good news out of so much bad news now days. Praise God and thank you Rev. Hoye. I just hope and pray they do not force doctors to perform abortions at San Francisco General.
I should have said “try to force doctors”. Some will, some simply will not do them.
God bless Walter Hoye. A true American Hero!
Had the honor of sharing a table with this man this past Friday before I knew who he was. My wife says “Ive seen him before”. Strange thing is, I dont think either of us have. I ask him if he was going to eat, he replys “Im fasting”. Then and there I knew I was sharing a table with someone Great. As a teenager and young adult, I idolized sports heroes, immitating all their moves. So, when the waiter placed the food in front of me, I refused to eat it. I just gave it to the sweet gentleman next to me. Now having found this article, I knew my hunch was correct. God bless you Walter. He works in the most awesome of ways!
Wait a min. So family planning specialist is closed for Good? Somebody please let me know
