    Protests outside Planned Parenthood clinics took place across the nation on Saturday.  

    Spurred by the recent release of undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives, a coalition of pro-life groups led the #ProtestPP events.

    David Daleiden, the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, the organization behind the videos, spoke at the event in Orange, Calif.

    The videos have raised allegations that the nation’s largest abortion provider is selling aborted fetal body parts to researchers for profit. Trafficking human body parts—including fetal human body parts—is a felony in the United States. Spokespersons for Planned Parenthood have denied illegal conduct.

    Eric Scheidler, the executive director of Pro-Life Action League, one of the organizers of the nationwide event, told The Daily Signal that “we had great turnout today.”

    “I expect to see an increased pro-life ministry at Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics for years ahead, thanks to the number of people who have been drawn out to protest at this critical moment,” Scheidler said.

    In Manchester, N.H., approximately 45 protesters gathered outside a Planned Parenthood clinic.


    Protests took place internationally as well.
