Planned Parenthood Federation of America dates its beginnings to October 16, 1916, when its founder, Margaret Sanger, and two of her friends opened a clinic in Brooklyn, New York. This means, of course, that Planned Parenthood will officially mark its 100th anniversary on Sunday, October 16, 2016.

American Life League and STOPP International have been cosponsors, with 60 other groups, of the #ProtestPP effort since its inception last year. As part of that effort, we are cosponsoring peaceful, prayerful activities outside of Planned Parenthood facilities across the nation on Saturday, October 15. On that day, #ProtestPP will confront Planned Parenthood with prayer—solemn Jericho Prayer Marches and Candlelight Vigils. 

Planned Parenthood operates the largest abortion chain in the nation and admits to the killing of over seven million babies in its own facilities since it began doing abortions in the state of New York on July 2, 1970.

To find a scheduled event near you or to register an event you are organizing, go to protestpp.com/locations/. Please join with people in your community to pray for an end to this organization that has done so much to destroy American families. In addition, encourage your local churches to participate in these times of prayer at Planned Parenthood.
