Ann Arbor Organizers Report on the #PPSellsBabyParts
“National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood,”
Thank you Father Tom for your support!
NATIONAL PROTEST Update: “On August 22, pro-lifers gathered at Planned Parenthood locations throughout the United States and in six foreign countries to protest Planned Parenthood’s scandalous practice of trafficking in aborted baby body parts, as exposed in a series of videos from the Center for Medical Progress, www.centerformedicalprogress. LIVONIA PROTESTER DIES: Lifenews.com reports: Pro-Life Advocate (Robert Adis from Canton) Dies Protesting at Planned Parenthood, His Last Act is Standing Up for Life (Robert was participating in the Livonia protest. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.) http://www.lifenews.com/2015/ ANN ARBOR HIGHLIGHTS: On August 22, 2015 more than 155 people participanted in the #PPSellsBabyParts “National Day of Protest Against Planned Parenthood” in Ann Arbor MI at the Planned Parenthood resource center on Stadium Blvd, with another 200 participanting at the Professional Drive Planned Parenthod abortion facility in Ann Arbor. Participants of the two Ann Arbor protests came from far and wide: Adrian, Ann Arbor, Belleville, Blissfield, Britton, Brownstown, Canton, Carleton, Chelsea, Dexter, Grasslake, Gregory, Hillsdale, Leslie, Livonia, Milford, Milan, Monroe, New Boston, New Hudson, Northville, Plymouth, Saline, South Lyon, Southgate, Wayne, Westland, Wixom, Wyandotte and Ypsilanti. PLAN (Pro-Life Action Network Inc) and 40 Days For Life Ann Arbor, have over one hundred seventy new pro-life contacts from those that emailed us and attended the two Ann Arbor protests. Steve Gendredge, organizer of the Protest of the Planned Parenthood on Professional Drive reports the following: Just wanted to write a few things about Saturdays protest against PP. We had around 200 people show up. I wanted to say thank you to all those who participated, and especially those who worked to get the word out without even being asked. People put notices in Bulletins and made phone calls to radio stations. That was awesome. Thank you to sidewalk advocates, for sidewalk counseling to women going into Planned Parenthood during the protest. We had several clergy present. There was a Priest from St. Francis, I believe several deacons from local parishes. I met Pastor Don Potocki from Briarwood Baptist Church The mood was very upbeat. People were very encouraged by the number of people that showed up. There was a lot of honking in support (and some not in support). One gentleman told me he was not planning on being there, however his son was, and when his son missed his ride, he brought him and wasn’t planning on staying. After arriving he felt he was supposed to stay. Then during the event he felt called to ask everyone to gather in the cul-de-sac in front of Planned Parenthood for prayer at the end. During the protest, the owner of TCBY Yogurt located at 3354 Washtenaw, Suite E, decided he wanted to give everyone frozen yogurt because he felt we were fighting for a good cause. One brave young woman held a sign that said “Abused? So was I. Today I am 17 weeks pregnant. #I CHOOSE LIFE”. I saw seasoned pro-life activist, and saw a lot of new faces. I also felt a lot of hope. Thanks again to everyone who participated with a very special thank you to: Deacon Larry Randolph, from Christ The King; Father Tom Wasilewski from St Francis of Assisi and Pastor Don Potocki from Briarwood Baptist Church. Steve Gendregske Sandie Weathers, organizer of the Protest of the Planned Parenthood on Stadium Blvd reports the following:, “I am very touched and encouraged by all of the people in our area, that are speaking out about the evils that are going on within the walls of Planned Parenthood in our community and around the country.” Mary sent an email to the Ann Arbor organizers stating, “I have always been prolife, the recent exposure of planned parenthood's unashamedly ignoring our laws against the sale of infant's organs has now made me an activist. How can I help, or participate in…?” Allison emailed, “Our family is planning on heading up from Jonesville, MI tomorrow morning to participate in the PP protests.” Weathers organized the protest at the Stadium Blvd Planned Parenthood location in Ann Arbor. More news to follow from Steve Gendregske the organizer of the protest at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility on Professional Dr in Ann Arbor. And yet another shared that he had always been pro-choice, but since the videos have come out, he wants to do whatever he can to advance the pro-life cause. Danielle says, “I want to get involved in the protest. As a Christian, I stand for life. My heart breaks for these babies.” Adam says, “I've never attended any sort of protest before, but just might come out for this one.” Sam says, “I had all the kids with me and we drove by twice and honked and waved. Thank you so so much for all you do!” A little girl participating in the Stadium Bldv protest, reported that after one hour, she counted 64 people that had honked in support of the protester. Thank you to everyone who participated at the rally and those that prayed for us from their homes. A special thank you goes out to Pastor Charles Schulz from Concordia University for his participation and support at the Stadium Blvd location. Weathers thinks that Anne K’s response on FB really summed up the sentiment of the protesters: “We had such a good response! I was so happy to see more of my friends there when I got off the bus (at 3100 Professional Dr) and I was floored! This is a movement and there is no stopping us now. Propaganda Ha, I think not, we rely on the facts and can back them up.” Michigan NPR reports: Protesters rally at Planned Parenthoods, citing controversial videos.
