There’s a lot of churches here too. There’s a lot of power in in prayer, and and we may not beat it. But that’ll be up to the Lord.”

18. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeanne Napier, Pittsburg resident:
“So, I don’t know why we need a Planned Parenthood, but I know what it is. It’s the abortion part of it. That’s. It’s not about women’s health. Abortion isn’t about women’s health. It’s just about murder. It’s about a selfish choice that you make that you may regret years down the way.”

“Pittsburg will absolutely have opposition. We know that there are going to be anti-abortion protesters. You know, we’ve been tracking for security purposes and also just community awareness that there will be protesters here. And we want to prepare our staff and our patients. But it has been reassuring that we’ve hired staff really quickly, that we’ve had providers reach out. We’ve had community members say, they’re so excited we’re here.”

STORYLINE:
The Rev. Anthony Navaratnam stood before his congregation and urged them to pray for the women from surrounding states who will flock to the new abortion clinic in town that opened in August.
“God is giving us an opportunity to be missionaries in Pittsburg, Kansas,” he told those at Flag Church, which hosted a training on how to protest outside of the clinic.
