LOS ANGELES (RNS) About once a month, Lily Nguyen-Ellis stands outside a Planned Parenthood office in Orange County with her fellow congregants from Santiago de Compostela Church to pray for the end of abortion and for the dignity of human life from conception to natural death. She and her group hold signs declaring “#LoveEveryHeartbeat” and “Love Life Choose Life.”
