"Let us pass on the love. Let us tell the truth, let us change the world."

EDITOR and FOUNDING EDITOR'S NOTES: During the last eight years, our country was blessed with—what has been referred to as—the "most pro-life President ever." Even though there was heated opposition to pro-life efforts, much was accomplished. Last week, life-minded people everywhere were saddened and greatly disappointed to see many of those laws that champion life being reversed. However, let's not allow recent governmental decisions to quell our fervent stand for life, in prayer, voice and action—WITH LOVE. At the risk of sounding trite, the old adage is immutably true: the "Light shines brighter in the darkness."

That means we must bless and pray for this new president even more; asking that God would show him a NEW WAY. It's been said that you can't "legislate" morality. There is most certainly a truth to this. We've had several presidents who have tried and have not succeeded. Nevertheless, we want to continue to stand for righteous laws and continue to bless and pray for our new president, according to the Word. God honors such prayers. God changes minds, times, seasons, people and laws. God also changes hearts and that is the most important change of all.

By the way, in addition to the account below of the west coast rally; last Thursday, over 300,000 people reportedly marched for life in Washington, DC. If you are a voice who champions the value of each life—born or unborn—may I echo the words of Mother Agnes Mary to... "pass on the love… tell the truth… change the world." -Aimee Herd, Steve Shultz, BCN.

(San Francisco, CA)—More than 30,000 pro-life supporters filled the boulevard along San Francisco's waterfront for more than a mile in the 5th Annual Walk for Life West Coast, Saturday, walking behind a 10-foot-long "Abortion Hurts Women" banner. (Photo: Walk for Life West Coast)

The Walk came four days after President Barack Obama's inauguration and one day after Obama reversed the Bush administration's ban on federal funding of international groups that perform abortions or provide abortion information.

"We shall overcome!" Frank Lee of Asian Americans Against Abortion, said, addressing the crowd in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Lee joined Walk organizer Eva Muntean to urge opposition to the proposed Freedom of Choice Act which would eliminate all restrictions on abortion.

"Women deserve better, men deserve better—we all deserve better than abortion," Feminist for Life speaker Karen Shablin, an African American, told the crowd.

Rev. Clenard Childress said that Obama's election is not the end of the pro-life movement—to the contrary. "We thank God today for this moment. You're not going away, I'm not going away. This is our moment," Childress said. (Photo: March for Life DC/LifeSiteNews.com)

Also speaking at the event was Diana Nagy, a singer who placed her son for adoption after becoming pregnant at 15, and Sister of Life Mother Agnes Mary. "We've made a lot of progress," Nagy said, noting that 36 years after the Roe v. Wade decision, "abortion is at an all time low."

"Let us pass on the love," Mother Agnes Mary said. "Let us tell the truth, let us change the world."

The Walk was founded in 2005 by a group of San Francisco residents to reach out to women who have had abortions and to show support for them and for women in crisis pregnancies.
