"The Walk itself is longer than the March for Life, allowing for a powerful public witness through the heart of downtown San Francisco. The "camaraderie and compassion" the participants display "provides a beacon of light and hope that shines through the darkness of one of America's most liberal cities." -David Bereit, former organizer of 40 Days for Life

"The time has come to lead the way, to make a stand, to defend our families, our children, our future" the video says. "Our only choice is life."

Another speaker is Terry Beatley of the Hosea Initiative. Beatley has made it her life's mission to share with as many as possible the story of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, one of NARAL's founding abortionists who converted to being pro-life. When Nathanson was dying of cancer, Beatley promised him she'd share his strategy of how he deceived America on abortion.
