Planned Parenthood shut down in Texas panhandle.

Planned Parenthood has been shut down in the Texas panhandle.

American Life League's (ALL) Stop Planned Parenthood, or Stopp International, says it took a long time, but their campaign against Planned Parenthood finally got some results. "For 12 years in the Texas panhandle, there has been a fight against Planned Parenthood," he notes. "Planned Parenthood, in 1997, operated 19 clinics in the Texas panhandle."

Then the state reduced funding for the organization, and pro-life workers also continued in their efforts to shut Planned Parenthood's doors. "And as of December 31, there will no longer be any Planned Parenthood offices in the Texas panhandle," Sedlak explains. "They will all be gone."

The two remaining clinics in Amarillo have disaffiliated with the national organization. Sedlak says other cities can accomplish the same goal if they are determined, and information on that is available on the Stopp website.

Good for them. They succeeded in shutting down a lot of women's health care. Good luck to the women who now have to find another clinic that can provide their medical care at a sliding scale rate.

Exactly, they aren't an abortion clinic. What a dumb, dumb, dumb move.

First I'll go ahead and say that although I'm somewhat conflicted on the subject, that I do support legal abortion.

Now.....the truth is that the national planned parenthood organization is a bit out of control and believe that they and they alone for some odd reason are above the law and above respecting the laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. At times even protecting the identities of pedophiles and serial sex offenders.
