A 2014 California rule forcing religious groups, including churches, to cover elective abortions for employees was the result of direct pressure from Planned Parenthood, internal emails have shown.

On April 4, three churches filed a notice of appeal against the measure, which they contend violates basic religious freedom and conscience protections. In support of the appeal, attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom, which represents the churches, submitted internal emails between Planned Parenthood employees and state Department of Health and Human Services.

Heavenly Father, We praise you and thank you for who you are, that you went to the cross and died for our sins
so that we can be forgiven. We thank you for that. Heavenly Father you sent your Word and healed all our diseases; heavenly Father, you have taught us Thou shalt not kill. Help us turn to you and your righteousness, for forgiveness of our sins, stop this killing being done in the name of the devil, Planned Parenthood, awake those who don’t know any better, help them turn away from murder and turn to you for life, and life everlasting. In Jesus name I pray.
