The cold temperatures weren't enough to stop around 20 people from gathering outside the Planned Parenthood on Peters Creek Road in Roanoke County early Tuesday afternoon.
There was a combination of group and silent prayer.
We asked a protester specifically what the group was praying for. Susan Edwards told us they were praying that the people who work in Planned Parenthood and the mothers that walk inside have a change in heart. Some people were even on their knees directing their prayers in the direction of the clinic.

Edwards held a sign showing that 55 million babies have been aborted in the 40 years since the Roe v. Wade decision.
