Opening day set for Planned Parenthood's new Illinois clinic

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) — A clinic quietly constructed in southern Illinois to meet demand for abortion services by residents outside the state is close to opening.

Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri says Wednesday is opening day for its Fairview Heights clinic.

The new 18,000-square-foot (1,700-square-meter) facility will provide surgical and medication abortions, family planning services, annual exams, sexually transmitted infection testing and HIV prevention.

The clinic's construction began last year, but details weren't released until near completion to avoid protesters and potential construction delays.

that will be among the beneficiaries of this important health service. The proximity to St. Louis is noted along with stricter abortion laws.
