CHICAGO - A federal judge Thursday refused to order Aurora officials to let a controversial Planned Parenthood clinic open while officials investigate whether the organization broke any laws when it applied for building permits.
U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle rejected a motion to allow the suburban clinic to open as early as Friday. He said Planned Parenthood needed to provide more proof that it is being discriminated against by officials in the Chicago suburb — something the organization's attorneys could do in future filings.
"By no means is this case over. By no means," Norgle said.

Protester Leon Clark holds an anti-abortion sign as traffic passes by along a street in Aurora, Ill., near the new Planned Parenthood location Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2007. The name of the company applying for the building permits, Gemini Office Development, sounded like just another firm. Then it was revealed that Gemini is a subsidiary of Planned Parenthood. And that the 22,000-square foot, $7.5 million building would include space where abortions would be performed. Now, the building stands finished but empty while the city investigates whether any laws were broken. A federal judge could decide as soon as Thursday to order local officials to allow the clinic to open. (AP Photo/Stacie Freudenberg)

Think how many card toting liberal democrats have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. Think of the number of doctors and teachers and people who could have solved so many of this world’s dilemas. The wasted potential. The inventors of a cure for countless diseases. They are true to their cause.....the implementation of the deaths of as many children as they can run through the clinics. Shame is on them.
