24 Jun BREAKING: Planned Parenthood Cancels All Scheduled Abortions In Little Rock

Planned Parenthood in Little Rock, AR has canceled all scheduled abortion appointments. This comes hours after the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v Wade ruling in a 6-3 decision.

Reporter Asheli King tweeted that Planned Parenthood was currently calling patients to cancel appointments.

Dr. Janet Cathey with Planned Parenthood Little Rock just spoke with ABC News. She said they have already started calling women to tell them they’re going to have to make alternate plans, which for some will mean driving 6 hours one way to get an abortion in another state. https://t.co/YEcxZ0svLb

Shortly after the federal decision, Asa Hutchinson, Governor of AR tweeted his support for the law.

For decades I have said Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. Today, the Supreme Court overturned the abortion ruling and returned the issue to the states. Arkansas is a pro-life state, and we are able now to protect life.
