San Angelo Planned Parenthood Closes, West Texas Loses Another Clinic

Earlier this month, we covered the closure of the Planned Parenthood in Midland, Texas. At the time, many looked to the San Angelo Planned Parenthood as the closest option for the thousands of clients who were losing their reproductive healthcare provider.

As of Friday, August 30, 2013, the San Angelo clinic is no longer an option. Last Wednesday, a note was posted on the clinic's front doors that simply stated:

Dear Clients,

Unfortunately we will be closing our clinic effective 8/30/2013.

You could request your records be sent to another provider if you would like.

Thank you for your support.

Upon hearing the news, local faith leader Bishop Michael Pfeifer had this to add:

We're told whatever we ask for in prayer will be granted and my gosh, could we ask for anything better than to spare the precious unborn?


This may just be me, but I imagine the thousands of women losing access to services could probably imagine a few better things.
