Planned Parenthood At It Again: Closes several abortion clinics this year, but OPENS MORE elsewhere
FREE Catholic Classes
Following the release of Planned Parenthood leaders talking about selling fetal tissues and organs of aborted infants, clinics have faced an increase in protests and have lost money, which caused the closure of several clinics.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the pro-life American Life League (ALL), Planned Parenthood closed 23 of their medical abortion clinics, but opened 16 others this year.
Each year an annual survey of Planned Parenthood clinics are taken to track which locations offer what services, as well as the number of operational clinics.
The preliminary report ALL recently released shows the 2015 findings as of the beginning of this month.ALL's vice president and author of the report, Jim Sedlak, told TheBlaze of Planned Parenthood's move to both open and close its clinics this year.
Sedlak claims Planned Parenthood clinics decreased from 173 to 166, but that the number of clinics overseeing medical abortions increased from 164 to 187.
"They put a big emphasis on increasing medical abortion," Sedlak observed, adding the increase in clinics offering abortion services is "attractive" as there is no legal requirement for the facilities to contain surgical centers, licensing or zoning issues.Unfortunately, this also means clinics are ill-equipped to help women who experience unforeseen during an abortion.
Sedlak believes Planned parenthood's scandalous videos secretly filmed by undercover groups led to the closure of several of the clinics, saying, "the continued pressure on Planned Parenthood" probably played a role.
"The reason Planned Parenthood closes a clinic is that it's not making money," he continued. "The videos have a lot of people questioning Planned Parenthood and its reputation as a trusted health care provider. More and more people are staying away from Planned Parenthood."
Regardless of the reasons, in this instance fewer clinics does not necessarily mean fewer abortions. The good news is that fewer people really are approaching the clinics and the controversy helped oust the sickening practice of a Godless practice.
