Everett 40 Days for Life Vigil Starts Wednesday, September 23rd

September 22rd, 2015 - Everett, WA: Today, local organizers of Everett’s 40 Days for Life protest against abortion and Planned Parenthood publicly announced the annual protest vigil begins Tuesday, September 23rd and continues seven days a week, 8:00am to 8:00pm, through Sunday, November 1st.

The vigil is one of peace and prayer and will happen in front of Everett’s Planned Parenthood facility located at 1509 32nd Street. Everett’s 40 Days for Life protest is one part of the larger international organization’s efforts to end abortion.

“An rapidly growing number of Americans and people around the world are responding in horror, and rightfully so, to the video series about Planned Parenthood recently released by the Center for Medical Progress,” said Ed Mohs, a member of the Everett 40 Days for Life organizing team.

He continued, “Statements made within the videos by Planned Parenthood officials detail the for-profit dismemberment of babies. These admissions on the part of Planned Parenthood’s leaders distinctly demonstrate the gross reality of the organization’s long-term mission – a mission played out in the wretched act of slaughter of both pre-born and birthed babies --- all for the purpose of huge financial gain,”

Mohs’ colleague on the organizing team, Rachel Carrier, said, “Planned Parenthood claims scientific advancement comes from their mutilation of babies. How in the world can this be their rationale? We must remember that these are callous acts similar to World War II German atrocities committed upon a precious culture of humanity, people deemed by those in power as ‘not human’ and, therefore, deserving elimination.”

Planned Parenthood’s marketing plan is as deeply deceptive as it is highly profitable. Reputable resources report Planned Parenthooddevelops their supply chainof pregnant womenby offering them flawed contraceptives including defective condoms, most free of charge, thus increasing the rate of pregnancy and insuring theorganization'ssupply of aborted baby parts does not diminish.

Said Carrier, “When pregnancies occur due to their purposeful distribution of unreliable contraceptives, Planned Parenthood aborts the children and, even in situations when the child is born alive, babies are dissected and their body parts sold.”

She added, “Their strategy is devious, theiractionscold, merciless and immoral. We are delightedPlanned Parenthood is finally facing a Congressional investigation of their actions.”

“Such heinous acts should never be part of any culture, especially our American culture,” said Mohs. “The pro-life community across Washington State calls upon our federal congressional representatives to work to defund Planned Parenthood immediately thereby unequivocally stand with integrity for all that is decent and moral.”

“We demand all of our elected representatives defend humanlife at all of its stages, especially the lives of the most vulnerable among us…babies,” said Carrier.
