Please say a prayer

Alexis walked into a Planned Parenthood to end the life of her 22-week-old preborn baby.

She had no idea the procedure would end her life, too.

Planned Parenthood allegedly told Alexis' grandfather she had been transferred from their facility too late:

“She didn’t receive the urgency of care that would be required in order to have a chance to survive this condition…

“...she got a silent siren treatment.”

Planned Parenthood took two lives that day.
