Pro-life marchers strike Planned Parenthood nationwide on Saturday
Washington Times ^ | 2/9/17 | Jennifer Harper

It’s been the season of big marches for progressive and anti-Trump causes. Now it is time for the pro-lifers to have their say. A coalition of five major pro-life organizations has organized 217 rallies in 45 states Saturday, each calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood. All the events will be staged outside the organization’s local facilities.

“Americans want to end taxpayer funding of abortion — that includes stopping taxpayer funding for the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, and ensuring any Obamacare replacement is pro-life, and does not allow tax dollars or tax credits to pay for health care plans that include abortion,” says Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, one of the organizing groups.

“The majority of Americans want taxpayer funding to go to real women’s health care, not abortion. This Saturday, that majority will let their voices be heard,” she said.

The cause — found at ProtestPP.com — has support from multiple activist groups, including the Traditional Values Coalition, American Family Association, March for Life, Priests for Life, Thomas More Society and the Family Research Council. Will there be trouble? Organizers are offering point-by-point guidance on how to handle potential confrontations.

We are entering interesting times.

Our side is using their tactics against them.

Never thought I’d see it.

Learning from the University at Berkeley, I guess folks should dress up on black outfits and carry 4 to 5’ clubs.

They should be masked, break windows and torch the PP facilities.

After all, the folks out at Berkeley are bragging about how that works.

If someone objects, just take a club to them. That’s how the folks at Berkeley reacted to those with different opinions.

I don’t support this, but I am getting very tired of playing by decent rules as others pummel those who have the same belief as I do.

Christians need to be audacious like Christ was.

Perfectly assured of what He believed. Gracious even when people simply took that as being condescending. Plain about warning of where unbelief will lead.

I agree with your thoughts.

We are the ones who go out and try to change minds by talking about issue. The Left does it by threat.

“... multiple activist groups, including the Traditional Values Coalition, American Family Association, March for Life, Priests for Life, Thomas More Society and the Family Research Council.”

I am very familiar with four of the six organizations listed above, and whole-heartedly endorse them.

A special mention for Fr. Frank Pavone (Priests For Life)...

Maybe it’s time to play “Money changer in the temple.”
