Is Planned Parenthood Reopening in Northwest Arkansas?
Recently Planned Parenthood posted a job listing for a Health Center Manager in the Bentonville area in Northwest Arkansas.
Planned Parenthood operated an abortion facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for several years prior to the summer of 2019 when its landlord reportedly opted not to renew the group’s lease.
Planned Parenthood initially issued statements saying it would reopen in the Northwest Arkansas area soon. However, the facility has remained closed ever since.
In that time, Planned Parenthood has opened new abortion facilities in west Little Rock and in Tulsa, Oklahoma — both just a short drive from Northwest Arkansas.
Now the nation’s largest abortion provider is looking for a Health Center Manager “located 20 minutes relative to Bentonville.”
Health Center Managers help oversee work at Planned Parenthood facilities.
Planned Parenthood posted a list of duties and responsibilities for its Health Center Manager that includes supervising family planning functions and staff; monitoring clinic flow; ensuring accurate recordkeeping; scheduling staff in all clinic areas; and more.
Planned Parenthood has not released any new statements about its efforts to reopen in Northwest Arkansas. But the fact that the nation’s largest abortion provider apparently is hiring a Health Center Manager in the Bentonville area raises questions about whether the group plans to put a facility there sometime soon.
Planned Parenthood has a long history of working in Arkansas.
The organization currently operates a chemical abortion facility in Little Rock.
The group’s political action committee has been active in recent legislative races.
Prior to 2015 Planned Parenthood received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the State of Arkansas via Medicaid.
And the group currently is working with the ACLU to block Arkansas from enforcing pro-life legislation that passed earlier this year.
