Planned Parenthood Closes Mammoth Houston Abortion Facility
By: Catherine Gripp
Amid efforts from pro-life advocates and conservatives to defund the baby-killing giant, Planned Parenthood’s “Prevention Park,” the 78,000-sqare-foot, stair-step tower once known as the largest Planned Parenthood facility in the Western Hemisphere, permanently closed its doors Wednesday.
“Prevention Park” was situated near the University of Houston and Texas Southern University. Another Houston facility also ceased operations on Oct. 1, leaving four locations in the Houston area.
While abortion is illegal after six weeks gestation in Texas, Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America reports that Planned Parenthoods in the Lone Star State still refer abortion-minded women for out of state abortions and direct them to resources that will pay for their travel.
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast controlled the operation of the abortion giant’s Houston-area facilities and those in Louisiana. But after these Texas closures, and the shuttering of both Louisiana facilities also slated for the end of September, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas will take over operation of the remaining four in the Houston area, according to Planned Parenthood’s website.
