Pro- and Anti-Planned Parenthood Rallies Held Nationwide
--------------------------------------------------------

Thousands of people rallied nationwide Saturday in support of Planned
Parenthood, in efforts to counter the planned anti-Planned Parenthood
rallies. Opponents of Planned Parenthood said they organized more than
100 rallies in more than 40 states for Saturday. But in multiple cities,
when the anti-Planned Parenthood protesters showed up, they were met by
even bigger crowds of people who support the women's health
organization. In Denver, for example, as many as 6,000 pro-Planned
Parenthood people rallied, compared to only about 250 to 400 people who
rallied to demand the defunding of the organization.
