Planned Parenthood recently shuttered a small clinic in Logan County, Ill. It also recently closed four sites in Michigan and merged several in Ohio.
It's apparently part of a strategy for growth.
"Planned Parenthood is trying to corner the market," said Bill Beckman, director of Illinois Right to Life. "Over the last 20 years, their share of abortions nationally has gone from 5 percent to 20 percent."
Doug Scott, president of Life Decisions International, said Planned Parenthood has no shortage of money.
"They're running around all the time saying 'Well, we've got government in California cutting funds here, and we've got the federal government cutting funds there,' " he said. "But what they don't tell people is that they have nearly $400 million sitting in a savings account."
Planned Parenthood is closing small clinics, while building mega-abortion centers. A 20,000-square-foot facility just opened in Aurora, Ill., and one three times that size is going up in Denver.
