Abortion on Wheels

CNN reports on Planned Parenthood’s new abortion RV:  

Planned Parenthood is preparing to open its first mobile abortion clinic in Southern Illinois, which will bring services closer to patients by traveling along the borders of neighboring states where abortion has been outlawed.

The 37-foot RV, which will be staffed by a small team of three to five is equipped with a waiting room, lab space and two exam rooms.

The mobile clinic is part of a larger effort by a Planned Parenthood chapter operating in both Illinois where abortion is legal, and Missouri where abortion has been banned, to cut travel times and costs for patients seeking abortion care.

On the outside, the RV reads: “Health care. No matter where.”

Except that abortion isn’t health care. Health care is about care — about life, not purposeful death.

A more appropriate message would be something like: “We will end the lives of unborn children wherever we can.” Or “Making sure desperate women wind up with a dead baby.”

Women deserve better than this.
