Planned Parenthood is using the state of California’s pro-abortion constitutional amendment to claim that it has a right to build a new abortion business in the city of Fontana, even though city council members have voted to put construction on hold.<\/p>\n

According to the Fontana Herald News<\/a>, Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC) filed a lawsuit Monday. The group claims that the Fontana City Council “violated citizens’ rights by impeding their access to abortion, contraception, and other reproductive health services” when it voted 4-1 in September for a 10-month “urgency moratorium,” delaying construction on the new abortion facility.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> about the suit, PPOSBC President and CEO Jon Dunn cited Proposition One, the state’s constitutional amendment ensuring a “right” to abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not want to be among the first organizations to file a lawsuit alleging violation of Californians\u2019 constitutional rights under Proposition 1. However, we have chosen to defend the rights of our community members against the city of Fontana, due to their deliberate actions to actively deny their community access to healthcare services,” Dunn said. “Instead of working in their citizens\u2019 interests, they wasted taxpayer resources on issuing an unconstitutional, procedurally improper moratorium on new construction that exclusively blocks PPOSBC\u2019s health center, despite a clear need in their community for vital health services including cancer screening, STI testing and treatment, and contraception.”<\/p>\n

In the months before the moratorium vote, the local pro-life community had been outspoken<\/a> in its opposition to the new Planned Parenthood. Dunn also blamed city council members for listening to those pro-lifers who oppose the new abortion facility.<\/p>\n

“These efforts to block construction of a Planned Parenthood health center are not motivated by concern for the health of their citizens, but instead by political pressure from a small, vocal, out-of-touch special interest group that has spread misinformation and pressured City Council members into making policy based on ideology, not facts,” he stated.<\/p>\n

Kelsey Pritchard, SBA Pro-Life America director of state public affairs, told the Washington Examiner<\/a> that this lawsuit could be a sign of things to come as many states seek pro-abortion ballot measures.<\/p>\n

“California is an example of the abortion industry’s endgame with ballot measures,” Pritchard said<\/a>.\u00a0“When a right for unlimited abortion is added to a state’s constitution, Planned Parenthood can increase their financial gains by suing to eliminate all health regulations, end parental rights, and build new abortion facilities anytime, anywhere regardless of the will of the people in their own neighborhoods.”<\/p>\n
