Did you know there’s a church that has taken a stand against the millions of babies being murdered at Planned Parenthood?
PJI is defending The Church at Planned Parenthood. “You have a billion-dollar industry suing local church pastors who aren't wealthy at all, for singing and peaceable assembly,” said Pastor Ken Peters, who is responsible for the services.
The Church at Planned Parenthood’s website emphasizes that it “is NOT a protest. It’s a worship service…. The Church at Planned Parenthood is a gathering of Christians for the worship of God and the corporate prayer for repentance for this nation.”
“We’ve been running for two years,” Peters said. “We’ve never been cited. We don’t cause destruction. We don’t loot. We don’t riot. We literally go to Planned Parenthood and we hold church once a month. We do this after-hours. We are not causing any harm.”
Peters explained that his congregation is “bringing attention to the fact that they are killing life for money. That’s what they don’t like. That’s what they’re suing us for. We are shining a light for the Lord… and that’s why they hate us.”

Although police are present for each worship service, the church has never been cited by officers. But that hasn’t stopped Planned Parenthood from suing them. Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit states, “Directly on the other side of the wall from where the massive crowd gathers to sing, chant, whistle, and yell and scream are all of the facility’s patient exam rooms.” Interestingly, the lawsuit fails to mention that the worship services begin at 6 p.m., which is when the abortion center closes.
The cost of hiring a private law firm to provide a defense of this kind can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but PJI is representing Pastor Peters at no charge. PJI now has over 50 active cases in litigation; more than at any time in our history. About 25% of these cases involve criminal law; three years ago, none of PJIs cases involved criminal law. Will you stand with us by providing a generous donation, so we can keep providing justice for all in this unique time in our nation’s history?
Your partnership makes all the difference for us. Without your generosity, we can’t minister to all those who truly need help.
