Did Planned Parenthood do anything wrong by keeping new abortion clinic a secret?

Fairview Heights

If the city of Fairview Heights wanted to send the owners of property at 317 Salem Place a copy of the building permit while work was going on the past year, the Land Use and Development Department would have had to send it to a mailbox inside a UPS Store in Dallas.

The permit for the work at what would become a state-of-the-art Planned Parenthood Health Center in Fairview Heights would have gone to Raider Ventures LLC, the company name Planned Parenthood used to keep its identity secret.

When Planned Parenthood announced it would open a new clinic in Fairview Heights that the agency built in secret, many wondered how they were able to keep it under wraps, even from the city, and what rules it had to follow.

A review of the process indicates the organization did nothing wrong when it concealed from the world that it planned to open a clinic offering surgical abortions in this city known by many as the retail hub of the metro-east.

The clinic officially opened Wednesday, replacing its smaller location in a strip mall at the intersection of Illinois 159 and Frank Scott Parkway.

The new clinic doubles the capacity of patients it can see and is expected to draw patients from around the Midwest, including Missouri, where a legal battle continues to wage to keep the state’s only clinic that provides abortions in St. Louis open.

In the weeks leading up to its opening, there was an anti-abortion rally outside of the building, which attracted hundreds of people. On Monday, Planned Parenthood held its own rally and ribbon cutting to celebrate its new health center. The parking lot was filled with Planned Parenthood supporters, while abortion opponents stood outside an iron fence.

Okay so a pro life crisis pregnancy center may open next door and not have to say who they are? Good to know.

...” . ribbon cutting to celebrate its new health center” Health center! If you have to lie in naming your actual activities, there is probably something wrong.

“Health Center”’sounds so very much nicer than “Abortion Mill” or “Baby Parts-R-Us”.

You know why it’s there, don’t you? Southern Illinois is uniquely situated where abortions can take place for women throughout the Midwest in a state that is dominated by liberal Democrats so they don’t have to worry about pesky heartbeat and fetal development bills. They’re opening an abortion Wal-Mart because they expect women from multiple states to visit.

I’d bet the folks in that town are going to be so proud when hotel occupancy goes up and the local bars can sell bloody mary drinks with tiny coathangers to stir them with.
