PLW Year in Review 2018 Read about so much that happen in Waco during the first full year of abortion of the precious pre-born babies at 700 W HWY 6 -- the new Waco branch of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. PLW Year in Review 2017 2017 was a difficult and challenging year. In January, we learned that Planned Parenthood obtained a Texas license to resume abortions in Waco. Regrettably, in May abortions did resume. To compound the devastation, we found out in November that Planned Parenthood had occupied a newly constructed facility at 700 W Highway 6. In December, not long before Christmas, the shedding of innocent blood began at this location. We challenged the Culture of Death in many and dynamic ways. Find out all about it in our Year in Review. PLW Year in Review 2016 Recurring from the past--monthly Life Chain, monthly overpass outreach, HOT Fair pro-life booth, billboards and billboard truck.
