A giant “Baby Lives Matter” mural appeared on a street in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Washington, D.C. overnight.
Activist patterned the mural after the “Black Lives Matter” street murals being painted in cities all over the country.
The “Baby Lives Matter” movement took responsibility for the D.C. mural and are painting such murals in other cities as well. The movement was founded by Taylor Hansen.

“10 unarmed Black Americans were killed by police in 2019 They have murals all around the country Almost 400,000 innocent babies were murdered by Planned Parenthood in 2019 It’s about damn time they get a mural too,” Hansen tweeted earlier today.

In response, BLM activists took to Twitter to request the help of pressure washers to help erase the mural.
CALL TO ACTION DMV AREA: PRESSURE WASHER NEEDED! Late last night the street in front of the Planned Parenthood on 4th Street was tagged with “BABY LIVES MATTER.” Abortion opponents have escalated from using chalk and are harassing patients of PP & people as they walk by.
