The Planned Parenthood abortion business has closed two more clinics in the state of Iowa, bringing the total to 12 in the last two years. While not every Planned Parenthood location does surgical abortions or dispenses the dangerous mifepristone abortion drug, every center provides abortion referrals.

closedsignIowa Right to Life provided LifeNews with this update:

Breaking news! This afternoon we learned that the Planned Parenthood of the Heartland webcam abortion facilities in Red Oak and Creston, Iowa, will close on June 18,” IRTL executive director Jenifer Bowen told LifeNews. “In the past 2 years alone, we have seen TWELVE Iowa Planned Parenthoods close for good, many of which sold webcam abortions.  Fourteen locations will still remain after June 18, along with the Emma Goldman abortion facility in Iowa City.”

“We want to publicly thank the faithful Pro-Lifers who went out to the sidewalks in both Red Oak and Creston, in all kinds of weather, to offer women life-saving alternatives.  It’s in no small part due to their ongoing peaceful, prayerful presence these abortion facilities are shutting down,” Bowen said.
