United States: Pro-Planned Parenthood marches outnumber anti-choice demonstrators

United States: Pro-Planned Parenthood marches outnumber anti-choice demonstrators

Sunday, February 19, 2017




As anti-choice protestors revved-up to demonstrate at Planned Parenthood clinics throughout the United States on February 11, pro-choice activists beat them at their own game: the organisation's supporters outnumbered those calling for it to be defunded.

Throughout the country, the counter-demonstrations featured larger crowds than the anti-Planned Parenthood ones.

In St Paul, Minnesota, while the anti-choice camp had 500 people in attendance, the counter-protesters numbered at least 5000.

In New York, the contrast was even starker. A couple dozen demonstrated against funding Planned Parenthood, but hundreds came out in support of the health provider. In fact, counter-demonstrators showed up in attendance well before the anti-choicers did.
