yesterday morning, the only abortion clinic in Imperial County, CA caught on fire. the El Centro Planned Parenthood has been a critical resource for the rural community as well as scores of out-of-state patients who lost access to abortion care after Dobbs

& I think it is such a funny little coincidence that the crisis pregnancy center aka fake anti-abortion “clinic” sharing a parking lot w/ PP, announced they plan to “go medical” this year. What kind of regulations do we think they have to comply with 🤔
called Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TRAP). Abortion is already extremely safe but especially under the care of a nationally established provider like PP, so why the very specific hold up from Fire Chief Kenneth Herbert 👀https://t.co/dwTfqzAkzK
I find it interesting that the clinic had to file a lawsuit against the city after they refused to issue their occupancy permit, citing multiple code issues. Notably, reclassification as an outpatient surgical center, a well-known tactic used to target/shut down abortion clinics
