One on-the-ground source said that almost 300 pro-lifers were there to protest Carhart’s first day of work in Maryland, including many high school students.
There was a prayer vigil followed by a press conference with local pro-life activists and representatives from local and nationwide pro-life groups including Maryland Right to Life, Concerned Women for America, Christian Defense Coalition, Family Research Council and Students for Life of America.
According to Lifenews.com, Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition said:
“We are gathering on Monday to be a loud and prophetic witness for the dignity of life and human rights. We want to make it abundantly clear that we will prayerfully work to ensure that Maryland does not become the late-term abortion capital of America.”

Mahoney also told the Washington Post (which reported a large crowd as well, in line with activist’s estimates) that “We don’t want Maryland to become the late-term abortion capital of America.”
Thank you to all the pro-lifers who gathered in Germantown this morning and who plan to be a regular presence at the clinic!
