On March 28, the parking lot for Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Illinois was packed full of 40 cars; including license plates from 6 different states. In a time when social distancing is encouraged by federal and state governments, Illinois is becoming more of an abortion hub than ever.

To top everything off, pro-life onlookers watched as a Granite City ambulance came to pick up a woman on a gurney and transport her across the Mississippi River to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. A large hospital exists directly across the street from Hope Clinic, but the nearest hospital with which abortionist Erin King presumably holds hospital admitting privileges is not even in the same state.

“With women coming from six different states for abortions and being forced together into an over-crowded waiting room, the threat exists that when the women go home, they could take the virus with them and spreading it in their home communities,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “The Hope Clinic is not only placing the lives of women at risk with botched abortions, as they did over the weekend, but are also endangering Americans over a vast geographical region, and could be prolonging the current health crisis. This is a public health emergency that must be addressed by the State of Illinois. For the good of the public, Illinois must shut down their abortion mills.”
