Planned Parenthood had to "sneak in" in because there are men who would fire bomb the clinic before, during, and after construction, with or without workers inside. There was an interesting article on the Aurora clinic, and the problems PP has faced with previous building projects, including blackmailing of their contractors. Abortion makes up about 3 percent of the patient services provided by PP in any given year. Even the most vehmenent anti-abortion groups figures confirm that less than 10% of women who visit a PP clinic have abortions, instead going for other reproductive health services.
Anything listed an a *Health Center* raises red flags in my book. I can’t believe nobody suspected.
Anything listed as a "health center" or "abortion information" raises red flags for many women, but for a totally different reason than yours.

Just how many clinics have been 'fire-bombed' in the US in the last 30 years? I can remember only two that made the national news that were perpetrated by supposed pro-lifers. It was found that in the late 80's and through the 90's, many of the instances of arson of abortion clinics were found to be set to as to defraud the insurance companies because the abortion clinic was beginning to lose money. There have been some shootings, but none that I know of in the last 10 years, probably because there have been more instances of restrictions not being struck down by the courts. As with the two clinic bombings that I can remember, the shootings were done by religious kooks; at least two in Pensacola FL, one here in MA, and one in PA.

It's my experience that abortions are not done every day at these clinics. They're usually done all on one day because they're having difficulty finding doctors who are willing to do them. And THAT has little to do with threats; younger doctors don't want to be involved in it because they don't like it. Pro-life folks usually gather on that one day to do their clinic stand ins, but sometimes there is one person outside each day praying the Rosary for those inside.
