Southern Arizona Regional Health Center Planned Parenthood in Tucson, Arizona, is now closed “until further notice,” according to Operation Rescue<\/a> and the abortion facility’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This facility committed surgical abortion up to 16 weeks (four months) of pregnancy, and also dispenses the abortion pill. Planned Parenthood spent at least $500,000 renovating the facility with new security features about three years ago, said pro-life activist Bob Pawson \u2014\u00a0which means it may not stay closed for long. Operation Rescue reported that the facility appears to be planning to reopen in August, yet the online appointment booking feature on the website is disabled.<\/p>\n

In May, Planned Parenthood in Tucson\u00a0called<\/a> an ambulance to take a patient suffering from “excessive bleeding from the uterus” to the emergency room at a local hospital. A source with knowledge of the incident told Operation Rescue that the call went out either during or after the woman underwent an abortion. Uterine perforation is a major risk during surgical abortions.<\/p>\n
