Naples Planned Parenthood Abortion Emergency?
This past May, a patient was rushed to a nearby Naples hospital after having a “procedure” performed at the Collier County Planned Parenthood. Transported via ambulance, little information was given about the patient’s condition. Cherie Wilson-Watson, who is a spokesperson for Emergency Medical Services in Collier County, stated that, “We received a medical call and transported someone to the hospital for evaluation.”

States opting out of abortion plans

States increasingly are enacting legislation to opt out of a provision in the new federal health care law that would require coverage for abortion in “insurance exchanges.”

For Planned Parenthood in Michigan, however, the health care law is playing a role in the opening of a Detroit-area clinic where abortions likely will be performed.
