Stare directly at this:
The Houston facility - one of, if not the largest abortion facility in the world, but certainly the country - will close its doors September 30.
This week, the Texas House also passed a bill (HB7) out of committee to allow families to sue chemical abortion pill vendors for $100,000.
Surprisingly, Christianity Today almost seemed to celebrate the news of the Planned Parenthood location's closure:
When Planned Parenthood Prevention Park opened in Houston in May 2010, more than a dozen protesters demonstrated outside the 78,000-square-foot edifice, picketing, singing, and even weeping. This location gained widespread attention in 2015 when the Center for Medical Progress published clandestine videos from the clinic.
Many of the city's pro-life organizations sprouted within a 15-mile radius of Prevention Park. Demand for their services has been on the rise since the Texas abortion ban took effect in 2022, and pro-life expect the trend to accelerate.
The closure ‘still feels a bit surreal,' said Mary Whitehurst, CEO of The Source, a pro-life, ‘Christ-centered' women's health care clinic. Rivaling Planned Parenthood always felt ‘a bit like David and Goliath,' she said.
But by offering medical care beyond pregnancy tests and counseling — including well-woman exams and contraception — The Source hopes to fill in the gaps left by Planned Parenthood shutdowns.
The reason this reporting from Christianity Today seems surprising is because the paper has spent the last 10 years fighting against the politicians and policies that actually changed the law in America.
They seem happy to celebrate the victory lap though!
Planned Parenthood locations are closing around the country, thanks to conservative justices on the Supreme Court, provisions in this year's Big Beautiful Bill, and state bans.
