After nine years of on-site prayer for its closure, a Planned Parenthood facility that has been in operation since 1975 will shut its doors for good on November 30. Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri says it will consolidate the Jefferson City facility with its Columbia abortion center—a reflection of the abortion giant’s business model that includes closing facilities that are not profitable in order to focus resources on its abortion facilities.

According to the Fulton Sun, pro-lifers on the sidewalk concluded their 9 years of petition with 8 weeks of prayer in thanksgiving for the closure. It is easy to be tricked into believing that our prayers are accomplishing nothing, but in the end, perseverance is the answer. Jefferson City is a beautiful example of the power of unceasing, on-site prayer.

Another Missouri Planned Parenthood affiliate, Tri-Rivers Planned Parenthood, disaffiliated from Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and changed its name to Tri-Rivers Family Planning, Inc. (TRFP) effective September 30. It had been in business since 1971. Abandoning the controversial Planned Parenthood name, it follows in the footsteps of two Texas Planned Parenthood affiliates—Amarillo and Corpus Christi.

Congratulations to the good people of Missouri who are exposing Planned Parenthood at every turn and never shrinking from their duty to pray and provide public witness to the evil that is Planned Parenthood. May God continue to bless the state with a landslide of Planned Parenthood closures. Mary, Mother of God, please stop Planned Parenthood!
