Planned Parenthood is building the stage for another possible fight over abortion in Alabama: a large women's clinic under construction.
A security guard closes a gate Thursday at the construction site of a new clinic that is being built by Planned Parenthood in Birmingham, Ala.
The new facility could be complete around November, which is the same time the new state law will take effect unless blocked by courts. Abortion critics vow to oppose the opening, but a spokeswoman for the women's health organization said neither the new law nor opponents were a factor in the project.
Groups including Planned Parenthood have sued to block the law, which supporters hope will become the vehicle that a conservative-leaning U.S. Supreme Court uses to gut the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. "It was surprising when we found out that they were going to build this," said Gensemer."My question is after the bill passage, why are they continuing to be so aggressive when the possibility exists that they won't be able to be in business?"
The new clinic will be on a lot that records show the organization purchased last year for $430,600. It would replace the current Planned Parenthood clinic in Birmingham, where opponents say abortions haven't been performed regularly since 2017. Luttrell says the current clinic takes appointments for the procedure when it can find a doctor to perform abortions.
