August 22, 2015 photo of Boston protest against Planned Parenthood


This photo was downloaded from the Twitter account of someone who was at the protest.

This protest was only one of the protest rallies.  Thousands of similar rallies were held today all across the United States, and hundreds of people showed up at the rallies in America's largest cities.

This is a quote from the Twitter account of Life News that was posted today (August 22nd):
"How Can Planned Parenthood Say Babies Aren’t People When It Harvests Their Organs?"

These are the first four paragraphs of a story published today by the Washington Post.  The Twitter account of the White House Press Corps linked to it.  The link in the fourth paragraph was in their story.
Thousands of antiabortion activists descended upon Planned Parenthood clinics on Saturday to participate in a nationwide protest aimed at cutting off federal funding for the controversial health-care organization.

The demonstrations unfolded at about 320 clinics around the nation, according to organizers, with some gatherings drawing a few dozen protesters and others drawing hundreds and perhaps thousands more.

The protests kicked off at 9 a.m. Saturday and included speakers, prayer groups and chants, as well as signs distributed by organizers that said “Planned Parenthood sells baby parts.”

The protests come after an antiabortion group secretly filmed a series of videos that show Planned Parenthood staffers discussing the extraction of fetal tissue from aborted fetuses before it is sent to research facilities.  Abortion opponents claim the video captures an illegal operation in which organs are harvested for money, but Planned Parenthood officials have claimed the videos were edited to bolster critics’ false claims, according to the Associated Press.
