Related: About this forumUgh - crisis pregnancy center opens up in former Planned Parenthood office
Ugh.A Dubuque clinic offering crisis pregnancy services will take over space once occupied by an abortion provider.
Clarity Clinic of Dubuque purchased the former Planned Parenthood building at 3365 Hillcrest Road earlier this month for $625,000.
Executive Director Kris Nauman said the building offers twice as much space as the clinics current location at 2100 Asbury Road, Suite 6. The lease for that location expires in December.
That will cause the clinic to be able to expand our educational programs and reach out to more men and women in our community with our free services, Nauman said of the move.

I think I'm going to be fucking sick. The way the article is written makes it very clear the Teaparty Herald is gloating over this too.

Understanding the "services" provided on their home page is not easy. Abortion is mentioned as a pregnancy option, both medical RU486 and surgical. "We are unbiased and provide you a safe environment to educate yourself on all of your options." Going on to all the possible terrible side effects of abortion and "Research associates the use of the abortion pill during the first trimester with certain types of birth defect among medication abortion failures".
"We do not make any money from any choice you make." I can imagine a woman wanting to schedule an abortion appointment thinking Clarity will provide all the services Planned Parenthood provides.
