The new bishop of Phoenix, Thomas Olmstead, joined a massive pro-life protest in front of a Planned Parenthood facility on Good Friday.

Planned Parenthood President and CEO Bryan Howard said the protest was the
largest he had seen in his seven years with the organization. The protest,
which lasted about three hours, curtailed business at the building, which
houses offices and medical facilities.

“When a young woman who needs our services faces a crowd of that size, it
effectively constitutes a blockade,” Howard said at a news conference during
the protest. “Our parking lot usually is full on a Friday.”

It was all but empty on this Friday.
