sfist.com"After the Walk ends, we invite Walkers to proceed 4 blocks east to Rincon Park on San Francisco’s waterfront. There you will be met by Mariachi Real de San Pablo, the Walk’s traditional mariachi band. Here you will be able to relax, meet up with friends, take group pictures and enjoy beautiful views of the Bay. There is a walking path along the waterfront from Rincon Park to the Ferry Building, where you can enjoy a number of food shops and other attractions, or even walk another mile to Pier 39 (Fisherman’s Wharf) and its attractions. For a quieter, more reflective time, proceed south on the Embarcadero along the walking path for beautiful views of the bay, the Bay Bridge, and Oakland."
So in other words they're going to be spending their money. That'll be a nice spike to local businesses, especially those along the waterfront.

Nothing like aborted fetus pictures to put butts in seats! Lol.
Seriously support the daily grind of democracy, which is why I think the proper response is a counterprotest not trying to get their permits revoked or something.

Agreed, protests are good for society. But don't begrudge me a little joy in thinking about my ideological opponents standing in the rain.

Lol it's great. "Enjoy your protest, just please remember to spend your money afterwards."

yeah, they're not going to move a single opinion here in sf, this is like the most confidently political major cities in america. whatever you believe, a bunch of christians walking around won't change it.

And why protest in SF for this topic? Because we're liberal? Are there more abortion clinics here? Do they think they'll actually change anyone's opinion here? Why not go to a city with greater supporters? I don't get it.

They'd say their point isn't to convince anyone, but just to get the issue in the news. No different from the Black Lives Matter people shutting down the Bay Bridge, really, but at least these whackos have the decency to not fuck up evening commutes for tens of thousands of people.

Can you shut the fuck up please? You've brought up BLM twice in this thread and it doesn't even have anything to do with this. Everybody gets it -- you, like many other people here, did not like the protest.
20
Yeah, what kind of fucking dick could possibly think that different large protest marches have anything in common? Especially when the protesters in both marches think they're protesting against state-sanctioned murder? Only a thundering nincompoop could see any similarities there!

So they're not going to the Castro?

people need hobbies

If this makes me late for Escape From AT&T Park, I'm going to be pissed.

If you're anti-abortion you should have to volunteer for foster children.

That would require actual empathy. The second they are born those people will accuse the parents of milking the government

I thought Super Bowl festivities didn't start until Sunday?

They do this protest/march each year. It is a festive atmosphere. Very friendly crowd.
It is kinda absurd how huge it is. It feels as if the sea of people never ends.

Friendly here...not so much once you want to have an abortion.

Haha. Man, the RCP will be lucky if it can bring out 10 people younger than 60 years old.
I should have just linked to the Facebook event. It's organized by Stop Patriarchy, not the RCP.
Is there a difference?
yeah i want to protest the first amendment
Free Speech only applies to people we agree with, silly!
Good idea. Can we organize some counter protests the next time #BlackLivesMatter fucks up everyone's commute?
holy jesus how tedious are you.
Not as tedious as people who need to call in downvote brigades to try to hide comments.
Its sad when some angry redditor has to make multiple accounts just to troll someone they hate.
No. You can't protest the act of protesting.
Yes you can...
Please explain. There's some obvious logistical problems.
