March for Women's Lives on March 29 in San Francisco Defend All Reproductive Rights!
11 am - Assemble at Justin Hermann Plaza Sponsored by :San Francisco Area Pro-Choice Coalition (foot of Market St.) 12 noon - March 1 pm - Rally at Civic Center Plaza Call (415) 255-1989 Name Address City Phone They also condemned the U.S. government for ordering the deportation of 12,000 refugees back to Haiti, where they face possible torture and death at the hands of government death squads.
The attitude of Washington toward the Haitians was pointedly contrasted with its open border policy in 1980, when thousands of Cubans were allowed into the U.S.
After the initial rally, the demonstrators, singing and chanting, marched through midtown Manhattan, tying up rush-hour traffic. The marchers went in a circuitous route that passed by the New York Times building, the Dominican Republic Consulate, and the offices of the U.S. State Dept. at Rockefeller Center, before reaching the final destination-the United Nations.
In front of the Times building the crowd expressed their anger at the newspaper's editorial justification of the coup in Haiti and its highly distorted coverage of events there. A short rally was also held in front of the State Department offices. At the UN a final rally was held, with speakers calling for the continuance of "active resistance" until the demands of the Haitian people are met.

We are fighting for the deregulation of women's bodies, to put the decision of when and whether to bear children into the hands of individual women-where it belongs.
We face an uphill battle. There are many simi larities between the situation we tace, as piu cuvice wumeu anu micu, tu we suanuu
