The pro-life-pro-choice debate has been going on for generations, and there's no sign it will end. But each side has no plans to back down.
Protesters surrounded the front of of the Planned Parenthood in Boston's Allston neighborhood, asking that federal funding end for the organization.
"We're really here to pray and to really hope that we open the eyes of people to really start to value life in this country again," said Amanda Caiton.
The latest push to take away federal money failed earlier this month in the Senate, but videos involving Planned Parenthood are fueling continued debate.
Those videos came from the anti-abortion group Center for Medical Progress. They say they are proof that Planned Parenthood is profiting from selling fetal tissue.
"I'm here because I really, really love Jesus, and he really values the lives of babies, and with the recent videos that have come out from from Planned Parenthood, it really shows that they don't values babies," said Caiton.
But Planned Parenthood says they aren't doing anything illegal and the videos were edited, staged or taken out of context.

"Extremists who oppose Planned Parenthood’s mission and services are making outrageous and completely false claims. They are engaged in a fraud, and other claims they’ve made have been discredited and disproven," said Planned Parenthood in a statement.
The organization does help women who want to donate fetal tissue for medical research - a practice to which these protesters still object.
"I think we're living in a very historic time," said John Caiton. "I think that all of the pro-choice people - I mean, a lot of them are very well-meaning, but I think they're going to find themselves on the wrong side of history."
Abortions only make up 3 percent of Planned Parenthood's work. Most of it is preventative screenings and care as well as std testing and treatment.
