Abortion giant Planned Parenthood has announced it is closing some of its facilities in California, Texas, and other states, citing the federal government’s recent decision to defund the organization.
Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortionist and a major seller of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones used in gender transitions.
Its regional affiliates operate facilities around the country — including one in Little Rock and another in Rogers. Fortunately, neither of its Arkansas locations perform abortions, because state law generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states are not required to fund abortionists, and the Arkansas Legislature and the governor have both blocked Planned Parenthood and its affiliates from receiving public tax dollars.
However, while Planned Parenthood appears to be closing some of its facilities around the country due to a drop in funding, the organization is hiring at its Little Rock location. Reports also show Planned Parenthood may be spending millions of dollars to help women cross state lines for abortion. And news outlets have highlighted how pro-abortion states are protecting abortionists who ship abortion drugs across the country. These are serious concerns.
With all of that said, it’s important to note that public opinion polling shows Arkansans oppose abortion, and there is evidence that children are alive right now because Arkansas has prohibited abortion. That is something to celebrate.
