Documents Show This May Be Planned Parenthood’s New Regional Abortion Facility Near Arkansas
Family Council has obtained documents possibly revealing the location of Planned Parenthood’s new regional abortion facility in Pittsburg, Kansas.
On May 14, Planned Parenthood Great Plains announced it intends to place an abortion facility in Pittsburg — near the state lines with Missouri and Oklahoma. The facility reportedly will perform chemical abortions.
Even though Pittsburg is in Kansas, the town is situated less than 90 minutes from Arkansas. If Planned Parenthood opens the facility this fall, it will be the closest abortion center to Northwest Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and Northeast Oklahoma.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains — the regional affiliate responsible for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas — has been working to hire staff for the Pittsburg facility, but has not announced the exact location of the new abortion facility or the date that the facility will open.
Planned Parenthood Great Plains’ 990 tax form for 2022 lists multiple Related Organizations and Unrelated Partnerships — including Kansas Property Investment LLC located in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Southeast Kansas Property Investment LLC located in Overland Park, Kansas.
The 990 form lists Planned Parenthood as the “direct controlling entity” of Kansas Property Investment, which is listed as the direct controlling entity of Southeast Kansas Property Investment.
Information from the Crawford County Kansas assessor’s website shows Southeast KS Property Investment LLC owns a 3,180 square foot medical office building at 2310 Tucker Terrace in Pittsburg, Kansas. The mailing address for Southeast KS Property Investment LLC matches the Little Rock address for Kansas Property Investment listed on Planned Parenthood Great Plains’ 990 tax form.
Other documents indicate the property was purchased for $380,000 in 2023, and that the city issued a permit for remodeling construction valued at $200,000 for the health center earlier this year.
All of this would seem to indicate that Planned Parenthood is tied to Southeast KS Property Investment LLC — and to the facility in Pittsburg.
Because the facility is a former medical clinic and has apparently been remodeled as a health center, it stands to reason that this location could serve as an abortion facility.
Planned Parenthood has a history of acquiring some of its facilities through separate LLCs.
For example, in 2020 Planned Parenthood acquired a facility in Rogers, Arkansas, through 12 Redacre LLC. The LLC’s mailing address matched Planned Parenthood Great Plains’ mailing address in Kansas — signaling a connection between the two.
In 2021, American Life League wrote,
The first highly publicized case of Planned Parenthood sneaking into a community using a false identity to purchase, build/renovate a property, and get needed permits, took place in Aurora Illinois in 2007. Since then, Planned Parenthood has used this technique many times to thwart any efforts by Planned Parenthood’s opponents to stop it from opening. It has become standard operating procedure for the nation’s largest abortion chain.
Official reports show some 405 women from Arkansas had abortions in Kansas during 2022. Right now, abortion facilities in Kansas are primarily concentrated in the northeast and central areas of the state. Opening a facility in southeast Kansas — near the borders with Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri — could make it easier for Planned Parenthood to promote abortion to women from out-of-state.

Report Highlights How Pro-Abortion “Shield Laws” Help Abortionists
On Wednesday the pro-abortion organization Society of Family Planning released a report indicating that Arkansas has successfully stopped abortion and prevented doctors from prescribing abortion pills via telemedicine since the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. However, the report also highlights how so-called “shield laws” help abortionists in other states perform abortions on women from states like Arkansas.
The Society of Family Planning describes itself as “the source for abortion and contraception science,” and says it believes “in just and equitable abortion and contraception informed by science.”
The group’s report released Wednesday analyzed telemed abortions — in which abortionists prescribe abortion drugs electronically rather than at an in-person examination.
The report also discussed pro-abortion “shield laws” that protect abortionists who authorize abortions via telemedicine on women living in states that restrict or prohibit abortion.
Overall, the report found telemed abortions have increased across America — estimating that one in five abortions in America is now performed via telemedicine.
The data in the report shows that prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, Arkansas averaged around 315 abortions per month. Since then, Arkansas has successfully prohibited abortion except to save the life of the mother, and the report indicates that no abortions have occurred in Arkansas as a result.
However, the report also reveals that thousands of telemed abortions have occurred in recent months in states with “shield laws” that protect abortionists. Those shield laws could protect an abortionist in a state like Maine or New York who performs an abortion on a woman from a state like Arkansas or Louisiana.
NPR reports that abortionists in Massachusetts are taking advantage of the state’s “shield law” to ship abortion drugs across state lines. In Massachusetts’ case, the shield law protects the abortionist from civil or criminal liability and from being extradited to the state where the abortion drugs were mailed.
Abortion drugs take the life of an unborn child. They also carry significant health risks for women — including risks of sepsis and death. In some cases, abortion drugs actually can be more dangerous that surgical abortion procedures.
Arkansas has prohibited telemed abortions for quite some time, and it is against the law to deliver abortion drugs by mail in Arkansas.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has even taken steps to stop abortionists from promoting abortion drugs in Arkansas as well.
However, it may be difficult to enforce good laws like these in the future if other states use “shield laws” to give special protections to abortionists.
When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, we said the decision marked a turning point for the pro-life movement. Going forward, pro-lifers would need to shift our focus from making abortion illegal to making abortion irrelevant and unthinkable as well. This latest abortion data shows that is still the case. If abortionists in other states are in fact performing abortions on women from Arkansas, then pro-lifers still have work to do.
