Thousands of antiabortion activists descended upon Planned Parenthood clinics on Saturday to participate in a nationwide protest aimed at cutting off federal funding for the controversial health-care organization.

The demonstrations unfolded at about 320 clinics around the nation, according to organizers, with some gatherings drawing a few dozen protesters and others drawing hundreds and perhaps thousands more.

The protests kicked off at 9 a.m. Saturday and included speakers, prayer groups and chants, as well as signs distributed by organizers that said “Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.”

We attended the rally in our community. It was so worthwhile and we were glad we did it. Our group was about 75 I would say.

It was sponsored by a local Catholic church. There were prayers for the clinic, the personnel, clients, the security guard posted by PP and, of course, the murdered babies.

I learned that every Friday at 9 a.m. there is a prayer vigil at this clinic. I intend to go whenever possible. I’m not Catholic, but I am proud to stand with and pray with the fine folks who faithfully attend.

Where is your pastor? That’s a great question. One that should shame every preacher who doesn’t speak up.

Our local media didn’t cover the local protests, did yours?

Where is this? Great turnout!

I went to my local protest. They were hoping to get 100 people. We were over 1000!

It didn’t list the location.

Wow! 1000 rather than 100. That should speak volumes to Planned Parenthood.

I should imagine the pastor was shut down by the overwhelming coercive power of the state at that time. It scares me to think what would happen if these radicals were allowed to REALLY have their way.

I’ve never seen an aborted baby before. Every woman contemplating an abortion should have to see those pictures. I’m just sickened.

WHERE ARE ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE? What is the point of attending something called a “church” if you are unwilling to stand for *anything*?
