COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 17, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Today, Created Equal, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust and the Christian Defense Coalition will be holding a protest and prayer vigil to expose Planned Parenthood's (PP) plan to open a gigantic abortion center in the Washington, DC metro area. New grisly revelations of PP profiting from selling aborted baby parts has made this event even more relevant.  This awareness campaign is part of our week-long Justice Ride that involves 70 high school and college-aged students in outreach.

Below are the details of the event:

Who:  Created Equal, Survivors, and the Christian Defense Coalition.

What:  Protesting and prayer vigil.

Where:  Proposed Planned Parenthood, 1225 4th St NE, Washington, DC 20002.

When:  July 17, 2015 from 7:30PM-8:30PM

Why:  To raise community awareness about the how PP kills babies and sells baby parts for profit.

"Planned Parenthood is a blight on any community. It is bad enough that they kill babies, and harm women but just this week they were caught red-handed selling aborted baby body parts for profit. No resident wants them in their neighborhood. Our prayer and information campaign will alert the community to the intentions of these merchants of death and hopefully keep them out of the neighborhood." -- Mark Harrington, National Director, Created Equal

"It is difficult to believe that the American taxpayer gives Planned Parenthood $540,000,000 of our money annually. That is troubling enough when you realize Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the world performing over 330,000 here in America alone. Planned Parenthood must not be given a permit to construct a new center in the metro DC area in light of these stunning revelations of their involvement in profiting from selling baby parts." -- Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Christian Defense Coalition
