A new Planned Parenthood mega-facility will be opening in southern Illinois, not far from the Missouri border, according to a report from CBS News<\/a>. While Planned Parenthood has been opening these large facilities across the country, this one is different, as the abortion corporation<\/a>\u00a0deliberately built this facility in secret. According to a press release<\/a> from Planned Parenthood, the center will offer both medication and surgical abortions.<\/p>\n

CBS reported that, beginning in August of 2018, Planned Parenthood used a shell company to build the 18,000 square foot facility in Fairview Heights, specifically to keep anyone from knowing what the building would be used for. “We were really intentional and thoughtful about making sure that we were able to complete this project as expeditiously as possible because we saw the writing on the wall \u2014 patients need better access, so we wanted to get it open as quickly as we could,” Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, told CBS News.<\/p>\n

McNicholas admitted that in the past, local businesses had refused to participate when they knew they were helping to build a Planned Parenthood facility, refusing to install telephone lines or deliver cabinets.<\/p>\n
