The photo above, via Cosmopolitan on January 23, shows progress on building an 8,000 sq. ft Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in New Orleans has obviously stalled.
Compare it to the photo taken by Louisiana Coalition for Life in August 2014 (click all photos to enlarge)….
It appears only the grass has been cut in the past five months.
Before that, Fox8 reported in January 2014 “the lot sits untouched” eight months after Planned Parenthood’s big ceremonial ground-breaking (in a church, no less – photo, right), this apparently because it had trouble finding anyone to build.
This means the facility’s estimated cost in May 2013 of $4.2 million has certainly skyrocketed, which is excellent. And Planned Parenthood’s projected profits from abortion only grow more distant.
If that ever happens.
As I reported on January 17, the Louisiana Health Department has blocked this new clinic from committing abortions, should it ever open.
One goal of throwing roadblocks in the way of new abortion clinics is to make them pay. Make it hurt financially. Make them burn through profits made from killing babies or donations mooched from rich pro-aborts.
Of course, the bigger goal of blocking abortion clinics from opening is to save lives. Which delays certainly do.
Meanwhile, 550 miles due west in San Antonio, Texas, plans for another new Planned Parenthood abortion clinic have also run amok.
Planned Parenthood’s old San Antonio clinic wouldn’t comply with Texas’s new abortion clinic regulations (currently being battled in court), so in 2013 PP secretly purchased an existing 22,000 sq. ft. medical office building and began upgrading it for a projected cost of $6.5 million (up from $5 million just seven months before).
The problem is zoning for the current building is C1 for medical offices, while ambulatory surgical centers should be built in C3 zones. Planned Parenthood South Texas CEO Jeffrey Hons has bragged the new facility will commit 2,800 abortions a year, certainly surgical procedures on a grand scale.
Photos authorized by Planned Parenthood itself in October 2014 show it had to completely gut the interior of the office building to repurpose it for surgeries….

… as does undercover video filmed by Created Equal’s Mark Harrington that same month.
When the resident of a neighborhood abutting the new Planned Parenthood could get no satisfaction from the city, she filed a lawsuit, and Texas Right to Life reported on January 24 she has received a “court order preventing the city from issuing a certificate of occupancy and from approving a special use permit for now.”
Hons originally said the new abortion facility would open in “December or January,” which is not going to happen.
A permanent block is the goal, but even a delay will hurt Planned Parenthood financially and save babies.
Live Action News reports a total of five other Planned Parenthood abortion clinics will close by the end of February, rendering the previous total of 666 remaining PP clinics already outdated.
YES!!! Hallelujah!
Thanks for all of your posts/work on FR, Morgana. BTTT!
Your tax dollars at work. We are the biggest donors to PP because all but 22 GOP House members followed Boehner’s lead and passed all of ObamaCare, including hundreds of millions of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood..
Lord, where will these women get their mammograms and adoption referrals now? /s
The Archbishop of New Orleans warned local contractors that if any of them participated in the building of the PP clinic, they would no longer be used by the Archdiocese. It must have worked.
