Pro- and Anti-Planned Parenthood Rallies Held Nationwide

HeadlineFeb 13, 2017

Thousands of people rallied nationwide Saturday in support of Planned Parenthood, in efforts to counter the planned anti-Planned Parenthood rallies. Opponents of Planned Parenthood said they organized more than 100 rallies in more than 40 states for Saturday. But in multiple cities, when the anti-Planned Parenthood protesters showed up, they were met by even bigger crowds of people who support the women’s health organization. In Denver, for example, as many as 6,000 pro-Planned Parenthood people rallied, compared to only about 250 to 400 people who rallied to demand the defunding of the organization.
