Judge rules against Planned Parenthood
How often do you see that headline? Hardly ever.
One of the priests who regularly goes to the Aurora abortion clinic to pray with the pro-life people there told me he’s so amazed by the sheer fervor present there around the clock, that “with all that prayer, I don’t know how this clinic will ever open!”
As of now, it hasn’t. And won’t in the unforseeable future.
A federal judge Thursday turned down Planned Parenthood’s request for an emergency court order that would allow it to open a new health clinic in Aurora that would provide abortions among other health-care services for women.
“We don’t know when we will be able to open,” Steve Trombley, president of Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area, said after the hearing before U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle in Chicago.
Meanwhile, the vigil will continue, around the clock.
