The abortion battle is about to flare up again in Aurora, as a Planned Parenthood clinic that flew under the radar until last week gets closer to opening in September.
The protests have already been organized for next month at the facility under construction on the far East Side of the city. Opponents have promised to bring their graphic signs and leaflets that display aborted babies. Planned Parenthood officials, who managed to keep the exact medical use of the clinic quiet for months after getting city approval in November, say they're locating here because the region lacks women's health services, particularly abortion providers.
This raises an interesting question within the debate over abortion itself: Is it important that abortion be easily accessible, or should providers be rare so that it isn't a convenient option?
