A Planned Parenthood facility in Iowa has officially shut down after it announced its closure earlier this year. The location in Dubuque, which offered medication abortions only, reported a drop in clientele as reason for closure.
The Dubuque location was in operation for eight years, and it is among almost a dozen satellite Planned Parenthood facilities to shutter in recent years.
In 2014, Planned Parenthood closed facilities in Red Oak and Creston; and over the years, the abortion giant shut down similar facilities in Ankeny, Fort Dodge, Fort Madison, Knoxville, Newton, Mount Pleasant Storm Lake, Spencer and Washington.
Dubuque County Right to Life posted the following images on its Facebook page, celebrating the closure.
Marian Boureck, executive director of the Dubuque County Right to Life, told NBC that the closure is a victory.
“This is a victory for women and their unborn children. We stood here every hour that this facility was open for business, to show the women that we care, they are not alone.”
Boureck noted that pro-life sidewalk counselors helped to save the lives of at least 20 preborn children at the Dubuque Planned Parenthood.
“We know of at least 20 babies that have had their lives saved, because we were here to offer positive alternatives,” she said.
Alliance Defending Freedom release the following image last year, showing how comprehensive health clinics outnumber Planned Parenthood in the state of Iowa.

The abortion business’ taxpayer funding has come under scrutiny, as videos released last year revealed Planned Parenthood leadership discussing the procurement of fetal organs.
WINNING.
Hope to see many more.
HOORAY!

(wake up, men)
PP here in Marietta GA closed and the 10,000sf building was purchased by a pro-life pregnancy services organization, and at a bargain price relatively speaking (still upper six figures).
If their is ANY argument I don’t want to get in the middle of it is the abortion one. Getting between those two warring factions is kinda like standing between the Palestinians and the Israeli’s.
My question though is, setting all other arguments aside, both pro and con, isn’t at least part of the reason some of these abortion clinics are shutting down because the population in general and women in particular are, over recent decades, migrating away from the idea that termination of pregnancies by abortion is “ok”?
Same here in Bryan, TX
Thank You, Lord.
Wasn’t that PP, in Bryan, under major investigations, at one time? IIRC.
Even with Obama as president this is happening.
That’s why it doesn’t bother me so much that Trump isn’t pure pro-life (but he’s still so much better than Obama).
Not that I know of.
There was investigation a few years ago of a Houston PP for Medicaid fraud & they had to pay under $2 million to the State & Fed. Gov.
Conservative = pro-life.
Conservative = pro-Israel.
Not sure why any **conservative** wouldn’t want to “get in the middle of” ( be involved in / take a stand on) the issue of abortion.
Not standing for life is a vote for death. Period.
No equivocation is possible. Life begins at conception.
But to answer your question, yes. Abortion is becoming less ok in the public’s consciousness.
The tireless efforts of pro-life activists, the continued exposure of the greed and ghoulishness of the pro-aborts, and sonogram technology allowing mothers to actually see the child in the womb, have all contributed to the closure of abortion clinics.
PP should re-name themselves”Abortions R Us”.
But they did SO many GOOD things there, I’m sure. /sarc
This issue sure did disappear didn't it?
"It's the economy stupid". That really sums up what elections are about.
I confess that I'm a hypocrite on the abortion issue when I consider the thoughts that go through my mind as my "neighbors" are acting up.
