BRYAN, TX, July 18, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) - On the same day as Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed the state's new late-term abortion ban into law, Planned Parenthood has announced that they are closing three more clinics in the state, one of which performs abortions.

In a press release, Planned Parenthood blamed the closures on funding cuts that Republican lawmakers passed in 2011. Those funding cuts have already led to the closure of numerous Planned Parenthood clinics across the state.

However, one of the three clinics, the Bryan clinic, is also subject to the requirements of the new abortion law signed by Gov. Perry today. Abortion advocates have said that the law could close as many as 37 of the state's abortion facilities.

Good news. We didn’t have to go after Roe v Wade to shut down these murder centers.

What should bother women is abortionists don’t want to treat them with the best healthcare. The only medical profession which is ok with substandard care is abortionists.

The buildings need to be razed and sanctified for the peace of the dead children. May they rest in peace in the Lord Jesus’s hands.

I agree. But I’ll accept what we have been given. Keep praying.

There are many pro-lifers that should be thanked.

Two come to mind: Flip Benham, who converted Norma McCorvey.

When Flip converted Norma (the Roe of Roe v. Wade), she was working in an abortion clinic.

The other is Bishop Thomas Tschoepe, who started the 3rd Saturday Diocesan Rosary at abortion clinics in Dallas (and the Diocese of Dallas).

The Bishop's rosary was so successful that there were numerous death threats to the bishop's office and eventually, it had to be stopped for that reason (by the next bishop).

There are other pro-lifers that should get credit as well, and the list would go on and on.

These two are notable: Flip Benham for flipping Norma from pro-abort to pro-life, and the late Bishop for starting something that often brought hundreds of people to abortion clinics on the 3rd Saturday to pray.

There was one occasion that there were so many people praying that a couple changed their mind just when they saw how many people were praying (this was near the White Rose in December as I recall).

Planned Parenthood Closes Down Abortion Clinic Abby Johnson Managed

The Planned Parenthood abortion business announced today that it is closing three of its facilities following Gov. Rick Perry’s signature on a bill to ban late-term abortions and hold abortion clinics accountable to higher safety standards. Apparently the abortion clinic Abby Johnson once managed can’t meet those standards expected of legitimate medical centers, and it is closing.Johnson shared the good news on Twitter this afternoon, and the abortion center in question will close in August: When Abby Johnson quit her job as the director of a large Planned Parenthood abortion business in Texas, it sent shockwaves throughout the abortion industry. Johnson’s decision to become pro-life and to share insider secrets about the nation’s biggest abortion business was so monumental that Planned parenthood filed legal papers in court to stop her from sharing what she knew. Johnson won that battle and went on to write best-selling book exposing the abortion giant.

Johnson continues to help the pro-life cause by supporting legislation, assisting with efforts to close down abortion clinics or stop others from opening and she works daily to help men and women in the abortion industry to quit their jobs and find life-affirming careers.

Earlier this month, Johnson revealed some excellent news showing that pro-life laws truly do make a difference in saving lives. The Bryan-College Station Planned Parenthood abortion clinic where she was the director has stopped doing surgical abortions. Abby recently gave birth to a baby boy named Luke.
