TCC: Delaware Planned Parenthood

This Clinic Closed: Planned Parenthood Delaware

Planned Parenthood in Delaware County quietly closed its doors over the weekend. The clinic’s Facebook page and its director listing on Planned Parenthood’s website were both deleted. While the abortion giant has still not made an announcement that it has closed yet another clinic that referred for but did not perform abortions, deleting the social media and directory listing are pretty telling, as is the “For Rent” sign in the lawn.
​
We realize that integral to this clinic’s closing has been the prayers and fasting of so many members of the community. For that reason, we would like to join with you once again to offer prayers of thanksgiving that the Planned Parenthood in Delaware County has closed and to ask for the continued protection of pregnant women and unborn children in Delaware County.

You are invited to join us at 9:00 am Saturday, October 14th on the sidewalk outside of the former Planned Parenthood office (152 W Central Ave, Delaware) for a short program and community prayer. Community leaders and members of the clergy who would like to join in the program are invited to email Greater Columbus Right to Life to let us know of your interest. 

Help us get the word out by sharing these details with your friends or joining our Facebook event.

Shown above, a "Don't Take Away Our Care" sign on the entry way door of the office Planned Parenthood voluntarily closed in Delaware, Ohio.  Over the last fifteen years, Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, has closed almost 40% of its Ohio locations, most of which are in rural and under-served communities.

One of our volunteers took a photo of the former Planned Parenthood office shortly after its last appointment on Friday. 

For months, Planned Parenthood has argued that it deserves state and federal funds because women in rural settings and small towns rely on the services it provides. Part of their publicity campaign for that has been "Don't Take Away Our Care." Don't fall for the hype - Planned Parenthood is in the business of selling abortions, and we think it's obvious that they keep closing offices that don't contribute to their bottom line. It is no coincidence that Delaware County abortion rates fell from 149 in 2015 to 132 in 2016 (for more information on Ohio abortion statistics, you can view our coverage).

Women deserve so much better than Planned Parenthood - they deserve life affirming care of the whole person. A list of local community health centers is available at www.getyourcare.org.
