CHARLOTTE — Women from local churches held another prayer vigil outside the new Charlotte location of Planned Parenthood Aug. 3, part of a community-wide effort by pro-life advocates from Catholic and Protestant churches and ministries to combat the evil of abortion in the city.
More abortions are performed in Charlotte each year than anywhere else in North Carolina, and Planned Parenthood’s expanded facility will be the city’s fourth abortion mill.
Mothers, grandmothers, daughters and sisters prayed and held witness outside the site, declaring, “We want Planned Parenthood and its allies to know: you are not welcome in this city.
You are not welcome to destroy our families.” Motherhood is sacred, they said, and all women should be valued and respected for who they are as children of God, not exploited and butchered by the abortion industry.
