Over 250 high schools and 80 colleges across the United States participated in the Pro-life Walkout<\/a> on Wednesday, April 11, 2018.\u00a0The students walked out of classes at 10:00 am for 17 minutes of silence and prayer in honor of the ten children that were killed in those 17 minutes at Planned Parenthood<\/a> facilities across the country.<\/p>\n

“We will no longer tolerate legal abortion<\/a> in our nation, which has killed more than a fourth of our generation. We will no longer watch as our leaders in Washington continue to fund our nation\u2019s largest abortion vendor, Planned Parenthood, with more than $500 million of our taxpayer dollars. We will no longer permit Planned Parenthood and their allies in the abortion industry to target our peers for their predatory business cycle,” a website<\/a> promoting the walkout stated.<\/p>\n

At Rocklin High School in Sacramento, California, where the pro-life walkout began with student Brandon Gillespie, community members stood just off of school grounds holding pro-life signs and sharing their support for the pro-life students. Students for Life of America’s Anna Arend was there live.<\/p>\n
