Illinois facility halts abortions, continues actual ‘women’s health’ services
(Pro-Life Action League) Until recently, Women’s Health Practice (WHP) in Champaign —home of to the main campus of the University of Illinois— had been doing abortions up to 24 weeks. But this morning we heard from local pro-life activist Renee Mullen, who informed us that WHP is no longer doing abortions at all! What’s more, all mentions of the word “abortion” appear to have been removed entirely from the Women’s Health Practice website.
WHP had been the site of 40 Days for Life prayer campaigns in the fall of 2017 and the spring of 2018, and Renee had also led a Peace in the Womb Christmas caroling event there in December 2017. When she contacted WHP to ask why they were no longer doing abortions, she was told it was due to “picketers” and that WHP didn’t want “picketers hurting their other business.”
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.
Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.
Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
Think about that for a minute. We’ve known for years how effective robustpro-lifeactivism is in the fight against abortion, because doctors want to be subject to protests about as much as they want to be hit with a malpractice suit. The decision of Women’s Health Practice to stop doing abortions is one more example that proves the point.
