Planned Parenthood to Perform Late-Term Abortions in Houston

Planned Parenthood is making headlines in Houston with their expansion and renovation of the former Sterling Bank Building on the Gulf Freeway near the University of Houston.

A law passed in 2003 requires that abortions carried out between the 16th and 24th and one-half week of pregnancy be performed only at a licensed ambulatory surgery center and this expansion will qualify the clinic to perform late term abortions.

Planned Parenthood’s spokeswoman, Rochelle Tafolla, suggests that abortion protesters “thrive on hyperbole. It’s all about emotion and very little about fact. They make outrageous claims and show grotesque photos.”

Rather than posting more “hyperbole” on the issue of abortion and Planned Parenthood, I thought I’d simply lay out the facts in my next two posts.
