The website for Planned Parenthood Great Plains appears to confirm that Planned Parenthood will soon offer abortions at a facility at 1222 West Poplar Street in Rogers, Arkansas.
At this time, the website indicates that abortions at the facility will be drug-induced using the RU-486 chemical abortion regimen.
Recently Family Council learned that Planned Parenthood has worked to acquire a facility in Rogers that could be used to perform abortions. The facility was acquired by an entity called 12 Redacre LLC, but the company’s mailing address matched a mailing address for Planned Parenthood Great Plains in Overland Park, Kansas.
Since then, Planned Parenthood has confirmed to multiple news outlets that intends to reopen in Northwest Arkansas, but it has not confirmed when or where that location might be.
According to its website, the Planned Parenthood facility in Rogers will offer drug-induced abortions up to nine weeks of pregnancy, abortion counseling, abortion referrals, the morning-after pill, LGBTQ services, and other procedures.
While we are still waiting for an official announcement from Planned Parenthood, all of this seems to confirm what pro-lifers in Arkansas have suspected for several days: Planned Parenthood is opening an abortion facility in Rogers.
Beginning three weeks from now, pro-lifers will launch prayer vigils outside Planned Parenthood facilities in Little Rock and Rogers.
The vigils will kick off on September 22 as part of the global 40 Days for Life prayer campaigns.
Pro-lifers will take turns praying on different days and at different times from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM daily outside abortion facilities from September 22 through October 31.
40 Days for Life is not a rally or protest. It’s a peaceful assembly for prayer and reflection — and it works.
Every year we hear stories babies saved, abortion clinics shut down, and abortion workers coming to Christ in the wake of a 40 Days for Life prayer campaign.
In the past, 40 Days for Life has said that the “no-show” rate for abortion appointments can go to as high as 75% when someone prays in front of an abortion facility.
Something as simple as praying outside an abortion facility can make a huge difference.
