The Walk for Life West Coast expects to once again draw more than 50,000 pro-woman, pro-life advocates to its rally in front of City Hall and then for the mile-long walk down Market Street in San Francisco Jan. 21.
This year, the logistics will get more complicated for Walk for Life organizers and for the city and county of San Francisco because the Women’s March is organizing a rally the same day, a few hours later, which also expects to draw thousands and to take largely the same route, also beginning near Civic Center.
Renee McKenna, the San Francisco lead organizer of the Women’s March, says the march is not specifically anti-Trump, although nationally and even in other countries the 131 rallies are planned for the day after president-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The goal of the Women’s March is “to reach out especially to the disadvantaged and minority groups that were verbally targeted in the election campaign; to let them know they have friends. That we are standing with them to defend the constitution.”
Nationally the marches are in reaction to Trump’s election, and the Women’s March in San Francisco has been endorsed by a variety of groups including pro-abortion NARAL Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood. The only confirmed speaker was San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim, who is a Democrat and also very pro-abortion.
McKenna, a St. Gabriel parishioner who has a daughter in the parish school, said she hopes to attract some of those who are participating in the Walk for Life to join the Women’s March later in the day. What the Women’s March will be the day after the March is still unknown, she said. “There is no agenda for the Women’s March. My position is this is a women-led march that is about human rights. What human rights means is very different for different people.”

Trump’s predecessor has done incalculable permanent damage to the physical and emotional well-being of women and families the world over.
Maybe they should be celebrating the change of administration?
Mrs McKenna can not be this naive? I smell immorality here.
Would she have led a “Women’s March” if the anti-Catholic, pro-abort, pro-homosexual Hillary Clinton was being inaugurated? Of course, not.
Her priest needs to speak to her and help her through her troubles.
A march wherein the Confused lead the Bewildered
If you go to the main Women’s March website, you can see in the small print its pro-abortion tilt. Believe it or not, I had some parishioners want to use the parish hall to make signs for the Women’s March. It was a request denied. Once I informed them of the pro-abort orientation, open activity ceased in the parish. Perhaps a few will go independently.
Look up McKenna’s background. She considers herself “a mystic” counsellor … a “cultural Catholic” who’s “grounded” in Buddism, “14 years of studying Shamanism with the Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkeley and graduate work in Ancestral Ways of Knowing,” etc. Oh, and she’s a “Marriage Preparation and Wedding Officiant.”
“No agenda for the “Women’s March”? The actual agenda for this weekend’s “Women’s Marches” — “Sister Marches” to DC’s own parade of fools — is at https://www.womensmarch.com/principles. There, “safe, legal, affordable abortion” is a key objective. So are “LGBTQIA RIGHTS”— including getting rid of “gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.”
“Human rights”? Not a right to life, of course.
