A group of pro-life men took the pro-life message to a San Francisco pride parade and the reactions from parade goers were heavily negative, including screaming, spitting, and cursing. However, there were good moments in which valuable conversations were had.

Key Takeaways:

• A group of pro-life men set up pro-life signs during the San Francisco pride parade.

• While the men were screamed at, spit on, and cursed at, they were able to have meaningful conversations with some of the attendees.

• One woman shared her personal pro-life conversion story and a teenage girl inquired about the sign showing an aborted child.

The Details:

The men spent the day sharing signs, including those featuring images of abortion victims, which led people to curse at them, spit at them, try to steal their signs, and tell them, "The sooner you die, the better."

Women screamed in their faces, parents covered children's eyes, and people called them "disgusting," all while full grown men walked around the streets naked.

But there were a few bright spots.

He Held an Abortion Sign at the Pride Parade in San Francisco

One woman approached them to say that she is pro-life and that she was "100% pro-choice" at one point in her life. She even took a friend to have an abortion. But after becoming pregnant with her own son, she came to be pro-life. She had been in a car accident while pregnant, and while undergoing testing to ensure her baby was okay, she realized he was the same age as the baby her friend had aborted. "You guys are showing what's real," she told the pro-life men, adding that the people at the pride parade have "got to see it."

A while later, a 17-year-old girl approached them to ask questions about their signs, wondering if the images of the aborted babies were real. One of the men, Simeon, directed her to visit the website for Justice for the Five, which details the discovery of five late-term aborted babies found in a medical waste bin from a Washington, D.C., abortion business.

The teen girl asked Simeon, "What do you guys think doing this here [at the pride parade] will do?"

Simeon told her that they have had a lot of "amazing conversations" and that many people attending the parade were open to learning the truth about abortion.

Why it Matters:

Speaking the truth about abortion in a public way educates those who don't know the truth about life in the womb and the violence of abortion. It also helps other pro-lifers feel more comfortable in speaking the truth.
