Planned Parenthood Abortion Facility Reportedly Open for Business Near Northwest Arkansas

Planned Parenthood’s website indicates its newest abortion facility is now open for business just an hour and a half from Northwest Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion-provider. The organization owns facilities in Little Rock and Rogers — but those facilities are blocked from performing abortions thanks to Arkansas’ pro-life laws. However, the organization seems determined to promote abortion to women from Arkansas.

Official reports show some 405 women from Arkansas had abortions in Kansas during 2022, but abortion facilities in Kansas are primarily concentrated in the northeast and central areas of the state. However, Family Council recently learned Planned Parenthood had secretly acquired a facility in Pittsburg, Kansas — a town of some 20,000 residents, within driving distance of Northwest Arkansas.

The new location will let Planned Parenthood promote abortions regionally to women in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma — states that all have very strong, pro-life laws.

Abortion hurts women, and it ends the lives of unborn children. Its risks and its consequences are deathly serious.

All of this underscores what we have said in the past: It’s important to prohibit abortion through legislation, but we need to work to eliminate the demand for abortion as well.

One way Arkansans can do that is by supporting pro-life organizations that empower women with real options besides abortion.

Arkansas is home to more than 60 organizations that assist pregnant women — including some 45 pregnancy resource centers that help women with unplanned pregnancies.

The State of Arkansas recently voted to award $2 million in grants to pregnancy-help organizations for the 2024-2025 budget cycle. That money is going to help a lot of women and children in the coming months — and hopefully it will encourage women not to travel across state lines for abortions.
