Over 60,000 Thousand people attended these protests to create awareness of abortion and sale of aborted baby body parts by Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood clinics receive more than $500 million in taxpayer funding every year for its 700 clinics across the nation. In recent weeks undercover videos released by the Center for Medical Progress exposed the scandal. The protests were held on August 22, 2015 from 9:00am-11:00am
Eric Scheidler (organizer) of Pro-Life Action League:
"These videos are exposing the American people to the truth about Planned Parenthood and the truth about abortion. How can you deny the humanity of a tiny person whose body parts are being harvested for medical use? Worse yet, how can you make jokes about it, like the Planned Parenthood doctors do in these videos? It's time to cease all taxpayer funding of this corrupt organization."
#ProtestPP involves prayer, speakers and holding signs that read #PPSellSBabyParts. Organized by several pro-life organizations, the nationwide protest, known as the "National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood," was held outside hundreds of clinics. Pro-Life Action League Executive Director Eric J. Scheidler explained, "Our primary message is the shocking revelation that Planned Parenthood sells baby parts. While this story has dominated the pro-life and Christian press over the past month, many regular Americans have still never heard about it," explained Scheidler.
"They deserve to know the truth about Planned Parenthood, an organization that receives over half a billion dollars every year from taxpayers. It is time for this corrupt organization to be deprived of all taxpayer funding and investigated by the U.S. Justice Department." Image Share FreeRepublic
