A Planned Parenthood facility won’t open in Omaha until later this year. Outside its empty office Saturday stood more than 200 people praying that it never does.

Omaha Archbishop George Lucas attended a vigil at the future Planned Parenthood site, saying he hoped prayer would prevent the clinic from opening.

“It’s important for us to repeat that this is bad, and bad for the women in our community,” Lucas said. “There are other life-giving alternatives for women.”

The clinic, which will offer abortions, will be at 3105 N. 93rd St.

Lucas dismissed an advertisement in Saturday’s World-Herald by Catholics for Choice, a Washington, D.C., based group, in support of the clinic. He said the organization is not truly Catholic.

“They’re obviously not in concert with the teachings of the Catholic faith,” Lucas said.

2. God these people are delusional -- having reproductive health services of ALL stripes available in

a community ALWAYS improves the quality of life of the women who live there.

That includes access to abortion when/if wanted/needed.
