On April 13th, 155 prayerful candlelight vigils will be held at Planned Parenthood facilities in 40 states<\/a> in the U.S. in response to the pro-life film “Unplanned,” a telling of the pro-life conversion story of former Planned Parenthood facility director Abby Johnson.<\/p>\n

The primary sponsors for the event are Citizens for a Pro-life Society<\/a>, Created Equal<\/a>, and the Pro-Life Action League<\/a>, a coalition under the name #ProtestPP. There are more than 80 pro-life groups co-sponsoring the peaceful events. The group’s website<\/a> states that this will be the 4th annual Nationwide Day of Prayer and Protest Against Planned Parenthood. A How To page<\/a> lists everything participants will need to know about the basics of a candlelight vigil, pro-life signs, and more.<\/p>\n

Created Equal’s Mark Harrington told Life Site News<\/a> that the event is an opportunity for many pro-lifers who are newly motivated to become active in the fight against abortion since seeing the “Unplanned” movie to come together with others in their area to make a difference.\u00a0“Unplanned\u00a0has become a call to action for the pro-life movement,” Harrington said. “Thousands have been inspired by this movie to get actively involved in the pro-life movement for the first time. Saturday’s Nationwide Candlelight Vigil will be the critical first step for many of these new pro-life activists \u2014 including a new group of first-time leaders.”<\/p>\n

Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League noted, “The pro-life community nationwide is responding to the pain and suffering of abortion by turning to prayer.”<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood claims that only 3% of its total yearly services are abortion. However, this statistic has been debunked<\/a>, and was even called “misleading”<\/a> by the Washington Post. Even when Planned Parenthood’s abortions increase by the thousands each year, the abortion corporation still makes the same false 3% claim<\/a> to make it appear that it is not abortion-focused. However, the fact is that this corporation holds 35% of the abortion market in the United States and committed more than 330,000 abortions<\/a> in its latest reported year. In addition, its new president, Leana Wen, has called abortion Planned Parenthood’s “core mission.”<\/a>\u00a0On top of all this, its non-abortion related services continue to plummet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
