Planned Parenthood Clinic 'Sign Of Desperation' For Agency, Anti-Abortion Activist Says

Between an iron fence and temporary barricades while holding signs that said “Planned Parenthood hurts women,” “Stop Abortion Now” and “Shut them down,” anti-abortion activists called on Fairview Heights to keep the future Planned Parenthood clinic from opening.

The narrow stretch of public right of away next to a drainage ditch did not deter the crowd of hundreds of people who rallied Wednesday outside the new Planned Parenthood clinic in Fairview Heights that will open later this month

The clinic will offer surgical and medication abortions, as well as family planning services, annual exams, sexually transmitted infection testing and HIV prevention.

It was built in secret in order to keep protesters away and to keep the project on schedule.

Are just pissed they got played by the same options their cronies use. Nothing better than seeing those more often than not, old white men trying to justify denying women access to medical and reproductive care.

Illinois - doing their part to prevent STDs and unwanted/unplanned pregnancies as well as and providing routine well female health care.
