Planned Parenthood Website Confirms Location of New Regional Abortion Center

On Tuesday Planned Parenthood published a web page confirming the location of its new regional abortion facility in Pittsburg, Kansas — approximately an hour and a half from Northwest Arkansas.

The news came after Family Council and others published documents indicating Planned Parenthood Great Plains had secretly acquired the facility through limited liability companies.

On May 14, Planned Parenthood Great Plains — the regional affiliate responsible for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas — announced it intended to place an abortion facility in Pittsburg, near the state lines with Missouri and Oklahoma. The facility reportedly will perform chemical abortions. Locating in Pittsburg would make the facility the closest abortion center to Northwest Arkansas, Southwest Missouri, and Northeast Oklahoma.

Planned Parenthood Great Plains has been working to hire staff for the Pittsburg facility, but has not formally announced when the facility will open, and did not share the address of the new facility.

However, on Tuesday Planned Parenthood Great Plains published a web page confirming the center will be at the location Family Council and other pro-life organizations suspected. According to Planned Parenthood’s website, the facility will operate six days a week. Family Council has confirmed the abortion giant is currently remodeling and expanding the center.

Planned Parenthood has a history of secretly acquiring some of its abortion 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.
