The first highly publicized case of Planned Parenthood sneaking into a community using a false identity to purchase, build/renovate a property, and get needed permits, took place in Aurora Illinois in 2007. Since then, Planned Parenthood has used this technique many times to thwart any efforts by Planned Parenthood’s opponents to stop it from opening. It has become standard operating procedure for the nation’s largest abortion chain.

Over the last few weeks, fighters against Planned Parenthood have discovered just this scenario unfolding in Rogers, Arkansas. Unlike other communities, the alert anti-Planned Parenthood folks in Rogers made the discovery before Planned Parenthood had a chance to open.

The Family Council in Arkansas published an article on their website last week about what is transpiring in the Natural State. Following are some excerpts from that article (used with the permission of the Family Council).

Is Planned Parenthood Opening an Abortion Facility in Rogers?

Planned Parenthood operated an abortion facility in Fayetteville, Arkansas, for several years until its landlord reportedly opted not to renew the abortion giant’s lease in the summer of 2019.

Planned Parenthood initially issued statements saying it would reopen in the Northwest Arkansas area soon. However, the facility has remained closed ever since.

On Wednesday (August 18), Family Council learned that Planned Parenthood may have acquired a former medical clinic at 1222 West Poplar Street in Rogers. 

According to records from the Benton County Assessor’s Office, the facility is owned by a company called 12 Redacre LLC. However, 12 Redacre LLC’s mailing address — 4401 W 109th St, STE 200, Overland Park, KS 66211 — matches the mailing address for the Planned Parenthood Great Plains regional affiliate office.

County tax records also indicate that 12 Redacre LLC listed Planned Parenthood’s address when it paid taxes on the property last April.

This would seem to indicate that Planned Parenthood is tied to 12 Redacre LLC — and to the facility in Rogers. 

Because the facility is a former medical clinic, it stands to reason that it could be used as an abortion facility.

Last Friday, the Arkansas Times ran a story on the Family Council revelations in which it reported Planned Parenthood’s reaction to the Family Council disclosure. The reporter wrote: “Planned Parenthood has made no announcement about reopening in Northwest Arkansas. However: I have confirmed with Planned Parenthood that the organization will soon announce specifics of its return to Northwest Arkansas in a location formerly used as a doctor’s clinic and it said it was looking forward to an opportunity to return services to that area and to expand the care it offers in Arkansas. A formal announcement can be expected soon.”

Planned Parenthood is so afraid of the general public that it just won’t be honest when it tries to open in a new community. Thanks to the great research work of people in Rogers, the local community now knows it is coming and where its center will be.

Local fighters against Planned Parenthood are already mobilizing. A local pregnancy resource center has announced plans to have a van equipped with an ultrasound parked next to the Planned Parenthood building. Others are already organizing prayer rallies at the site, and much more is in the planning stages.
