They remembered lives lost in the deadly Nov. 27 shootout at a Colorado Springs clinic.\nLeaders of the organization said they will not be deterred by the violence, and will continue providing all services.\nPlanned Parenthoods remembrance at an Englewood church was one of nearly 50 rallies and vigils across the country Saturday.\nSupporters joined in song, and took a moment of silence to remember the victims.\n(Planned Parenthood) provides safe and compassionate care to women across this country, said Christine Breen, a longtime Planned Parenthood patient.\nCommunity leaders called for action.\nLets work together to make sure that all patients can continue to have the wonderful care that those patients in Colorado Springs two Fridays ago were receiving, said Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat representing Colorado.\nTo ensure that every person has the ability to make their own decision when it comes to pregnancy, parenting, and abortion, and to obtain the healthcare that we need without threats to our safety, added Cristina Aguilar of COLOR, Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights.\nGarrett Swasey, a University of Colorado Colorado Springs police officer, was shot after rushing to the campus to help. The other two victims  KeArre Stewart, an Army veteran who served in Iraq, and Jennifer Markovsky, 36, a mother of two originally from Hawaii  were both accompanying friends to the clinic and its not clear where they were when they were killed.\nDuring the remembrance, pro-life activists gathered and prayed outside of a local Planned Parenthood.\nAbortion is not healthcare, said Aaron Hollst, a practicing Christian. When its called healthcare, I think thats insulting to people who are pro-life and to people who are not pro-life. Youre ending a life. Its as simple as that.\nIn the wake of the Colorado Springs attack, security at the remembrance was tight. Increased police presence scared some next door vendors away.\nIts kind of freaking some of the customers out, some of the crafters out, said craft show vendor Tracy Kreiling. They were worried about safety.\n\nDespite threats and intimidation, officials say Planned Parenthood will remain dedicated to providing access to care.\nWeve seen thousands of patients since last Friday, and will see millions this year, said Cecile Richards, of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. As we say at Planned Parenthood, these doors stay open.\nWe will not be intimidated, and we will not accept this as normal, said Vicki Cowart of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, of the attack.\nPlanned Parenthood officials say clinics nationwide are redoubling their security efforts.\nPolice say theyre adding patrols to guard against the possibility of violence.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://degette.house.gov/media-center/in-the-news/planned-parenthood-supporters-gather-for-day-of-solidarity"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7414461579173803, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
