Fox News: Pro-life group celebrates Planned Parenthood's closing of remaining Louisiana facilities: 'Huge success'
Planned Parenthood will close its last two clinics in Louisiana by September 30, marking a significant victory for pro-life advocates. The closures are attributed to the inability to perform abortions in the state, which has seen a decline in Planned Parenthood's operations due to political pressures.
The organization's president cited relentless political assaults as the reason for the closures, while pro-life leaders celebrated the move as a triumph. The trend of clinic closures is part of a broader pattern seen across Republican-led states following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
