Defending Women's Right to Choose

Thousands march for, against women's rights in San Francisco

January 22, 2005 * Photos by Luke Hauser

January 22nd, 2005 was the 32nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the court decision that legalized abortion in the United States.

"Walk for Life West Coast," an anti-choice event, was scheduled for that same date.

Local activists an the San Francisco Board of Supervisors declared that January 22nd would be Stand Up for Choice Day.

The pro-choice march began at downtown's Powell Street BART Station and marched down Market street, the main business thoroughfare in downtown SF, to the waterfront park at Embarcadero. The anti-choice rally was held on adjacent Embarcadero Plaza.

About 5000 people attended each event. The two marches then proceeded up the Embarcadero, separated by a row of police. Below are photos of the opening pro-choice march. Several more pages of photos unfold the rest of the story, with links at the bottom to the next page.
