In Brief: Anti-abortion demonstrators protest Columbia Planned Parenthood

A large crowd formed outside Columbia's Planned Parenthood Saturday to voice unified protests against the organization's' practice of providing abortions, according to The State

The gathering was one of many that took place across the nation in response to undercover videos apparently showing Planned Parenthood staff talking about the profitability of selling infant tissue.

Representatives of the non-profit organization have said that the videos present a false picture of their policies. 

The protesters called for an end both to the organization's federal funding and to the organization itself. Some brought young children and infants to the protest.
