SAN FRANCISCO -- Thousands of people marched and rallied in San Francisco in support of reproductive rights and a San Mateo County supervisor issued a statement in favor of pro-choice sanctuaries Saturday.
On May 3, a man who called himself the"Pro Life Spiderman" on social media was taken into custody after climbing Salesforce Tower in the 400 block of Mission Street in San Francisco. Identifying himself as Maison Des Champs on social media, he wrote on his website that he is aiming to raise $1 million for anti-abortion charities.The first, a speak-out, was held at 10 a.m. at Civic Center Plaza by the National Mobilization for Reproductive Justice - San Francisco.
"They're not stopping at Roe. They want to overturn contraception, gay marriage, interracial marriage," Sanchez said. "Most of us were around before abortion was legal. We don't want to go back to the bad old days," said Ruth Robertson, the group's convener, in an interview. "With a continuing assault on women's reproductive rights, we need to create 'Pro Choice Sanctuaries' and 'Buffer Zones' at abortion clinics to protect the privacy and rights of the women who are seeking reproductive patient care, even if they are coming from out of state," Canepa said.
