Financially Troubled Planned Parenthood of El Paso Closes Doors



EL PASO, Texas, July 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In 1937, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger personally visited her gleaming new Planned Parenthood offices in El Paso, Texas. This past June 30, however, American Life League joined local pro-life activists in celebration of a major victory as all seven of the Planned Parenthood of El Paso facilities permanently close their doors.

The El Paso Planned Parenthoo group announced at a press conference Friday that it would shut down after 72 years of operation due to financial concerns, citing a drop in donations and government funds.

"Today, it is with deep heartfelt regret that I have to announce that Planned Parenthood Center of El Paso will close all of its care centers as of June 30, 2009," Analinda Moreno, the El Paso group's interim CEO, told the press.

Rita Diller, director of American Life League's STOP Planned Parenthood project, said they expect "many more closures in the days to come, as people become aware of Planned Parenthood's sex-crazed birth control and abortion business."

"What happened to Planned Parenthood of El Paso is part of a larger trend," Diller said. "One by one, with hard work and prayer, these facilities are closing down, no matter how entrenched Planned Parenthood may seem to be in a particular community."

I used to have to walk past a Planned Parenthood on my way to Mass everyweek. It made me have thoughts unbecoming to a proper Catholic.

This is very good news! Let us pray that, when the economy turns around, these facilities will not reopen!

I try to convince people that we can cut abortions more with money than we can with laws. Make them all meet minimum code for out patient surgery, and they'd drop like flies.

[CatherineM]

I got into an argument that we have to keep them open for the women who would die without an abortion. Besides the fact those are few, they aren't done in abortion facilities anyway. Someone that high risk would have their abortion in a hospital.

Agreed.

A "facility" is a 100% solution to something which may be a 0.001% problem

What I would do if I could make that decision. Would bring them up to code in the name of women's health and then sit back and watch them sputter out an argument against that.

Haha, nice!

As far as I'm concerned, this is a good thing.

Don't most hospitals not offer abortion services?

[Hassan]

This is good. PP doesn't just do abortions, but also BC in general, another grave evil of our time. Hopefully in time more women will return to their traditional place, as laid out so beautifully by St. Paul in the sacred scriptures.



Similarly, (too,) women should adorn themselves with proper conduct, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hairstyles and gold ornaments, or pearls, or expensive clothes, but rather, as befits women who profess reverence for God, with good deeds. A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Further, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and transgressed. But she will be saved through motherhood, provided women persevere in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.

Yes, but at substantially increased fees. Only those deemed to be necessary enough for insurance to pay for are done in hospitals. At least in most of the US. In Canada, the government pays for pretty much all abortions, I think. Actually I try not to think about it, or it would drive me nuts.
