Protesters flooded Main Street and Bishop Boulevard Saturday morning as part of a national demonstration against abortion and Planned Parenthood, holding signs reading “Life is Sacred” and “I Am Pro-Life,” singing songs like Amazing Grace and Come Thou Fount.

Sam Paul, who organized the event, said the protest drew in 400 people in Pullman and thousands across the country.

“We are here to make people aware of the atrocity in this country,” Paul said. “Millions of babies are being murdered and mothers are being lied to.”

Regarding a controversial video depicting the illegal sale of aborted fetal tissue, Paul said claims that the video is forged are untrue.

He cited two studies, one by Congress and another by Planned Parenthood, which he said proved the video was not suggestively edited.

A Texas grand jury found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood in January.

Paul said the protesters were re-awakening a sentiment held by many, that something is wrong with Planned Parenthood’s conduct.

“We have a responsibility to show people what Planned Parenthood is really doing and stop women from helping them profit from aborted babies,” Paul said.

As the event began, protestors lined up along both sides of Main Street and began waving their signs toward passing vehicles. Multiple cars slowed down to honk and show support for the protesters.

“We are here protesting the marketing of baby parts and advocating life as God created it,” protestor Patrick Cernick said. “We are here to make a statement that a baby is alive and has a right to live.”

Other protestors shared his sentiment and support efforts to get the government to defund Planned Parenthood.

“We are here to stand with unborn babies who have souls and are made in God’s image,” protestor Gail Herb said. “People are not aware of what Planned Parenthood is doing, of how they are lying about their services.”

No pro-choice advocates showed up to this rally, unlike the rally in October following the arson at Pullman’s Planned Parenthood.
