Protests Against Planned Parenthood Rouse Dueling Rallies Nationally

Anti-abortion rights protesters gathered outside Planned Parenthood clinics across the country Saturday, in a series of rallies calling on politicians to end federal funding for the century-old organization. The activists planned to picket outside roughly 200 Planned Parenthood clinics — but at many of those locations, counterprotesters were there to meet them. 

The group #ProtestPP, which organized the rallies, says demonstrations have been planned in at least 45 states, according to ABC News. From Detroit to Los Angeles, from St. Louis to St. Paul, The Associated Press reports that protesters have gathered with signs reading "Pray to End Abortion" and "Defend Life."
