San Francisco, January 4 – Silent No More Awareness Campaign coordinator Irene C. Zamorano-Archacki will join Lila Rose, founder of Live Action, the Reverend Clenard Childress of BlackGenocide.org, and Pro-Life Activist Christi Hockel Davenport as a featured speaker at the 18th Annual Walk for Life West Coast on January 22, 2022 in San Francisco. Ms. Zamorano-Archacki said “I’m immensely grateful to be given the opportunity to share my late term abortion testimony at the Walk for Life West Coast. I know firsthand the emotional, physical and spiritual devastation abortion brings to women, men and their families. While people like to debate abortion, we must recognize real people are killed and impacted by the termination. My story reminds folks about what really happens to those involved in abortion” Last year’s Walk drew thousands of people, despite the pandemic and political unrest. At the time, Walk co-chair Dolores Meehan said “We discerned that continuing to stand as a peaceful, public witness to the harm that abortion has inflicted on our society, is as important today as it has ever been.” The Walk turned out to be the largest pro-life event in the country. Reflecting on the turnout, co-chair Eva Muntean said “I guess by now I should know better than to sell the commitment of pro-lifers short!” The 2022 Walk for Life West Coast will rally at 12:30 PM in the city’s Civic Center Plaza. Following the rally, participants will walk peaceably down Market Street to Justin Herman Plaza.
Founded in 2005 by a group of San Francisco Bay Area residents, the Walk for Life West Coast’s mission is to change the perceptions of a society that thinks abortion is an answer.
