Local leaders are now being recruited to organize protests and prayer vigils outside Planned Parenthood facilities throughout the nation. As of April 17, 112 protests have been scheduled in 35 states. See the list below for details. This year's #ProtestPP is being held in response to Planned Parenthood's recent announcement that they plan to push for abortion initiatives in all 50 states. In the face of Planned Parenthood's efforts to expand abortion, we recognize an urgent need to educate communities throughout the United States about the true agenda of the nation's largest abortion chain.
