The Real Face of Pro-lifers at the Colorado Planned Parenthood—and Why They're Not Backing Down

Pete Baklinski : Dec 3, 2015  LifeSiteNews.com

"We are there peacefully. We don't want anyone's death. I don't want the death of an abortion provider. I want his conversion. I don't want the death of a baby in the womb.

"We are there peacefully. We don't want anyone's death. I don't want the death of an abortion provider. I want his conversion. I don't want the death of a baby in the womb. I want the mother's conversion so that the baby stays alive. It's about praying for conversion, conversion of heart, conversion of mind," he said.
