After getting caught at trying to slide one by local officials in Aurora, Illinois, Planned Parenthood took to federal court last week, demanding that a judge order the city to let it open its $7.5 million “super mill”. We predicted they would likely find sympathy from an institution which gave birth to the modern abortion industry. We were wrong.

At least for now.

A federal judge refused to intervene. But the folks at Planned Parenthood vowed yesterday to return to court.

Meanwhile, the city of Aurora continues its investigation into Planned Parenthood’s deceptive campaign to gain permits from the city to operate a huge abortion mill in this Chicago suburb. Until those issues are resolved, the city has suspended Planned Parenthood’s occupancy.

In a related issue, Planned Parenthood of Illinois is about to get slapped with a $7.5 million libel suit. Attorney Tom Brejcha of the Thomas More Society has announced that he will file suit today on behalf of several pro-Life citizens who have been waging a prayer effort against the Planned Parenthood facility. Planned Parenthood has repeatedly and publicly accused the protesters gathered in Aurora of being “advocates of violence”, and even having a history of “criminal activity”.

We keep watch over these important developments.
