San Diego church supports pro-life group amid planned protests

Coastlands Community Church in San Diego has allowed the national pro-life group Love Life to use its parking lot for meetings before the group prays at a nearby Planned Parenthood clinic, Baptist Press reported.

Love Life San Diego previously met monthly at a local park, but construction there led to the move to the church parking lot. Pastor Jake McDonnell expressed support for Love Life's work and their efforts to engage churches in pro-life causes.

Shortly after granting permission, the church received a letter from a group advocating for women's health. The letter acknowledged the church's right to hold its abortion stance and to host Love Life gatherings, according to Baptist Press.
