Nonprofit Launches Ad Campaign Amid Abortion Clinic Appeal

Last updated on Tuesday, February 20, 2018

(SOUTH BEND) - A Texas-based nonprofit has put up several ads in northern Indiana in response to efforts opposing its proposed abortion clinic.

The South Bend Tribune reports the Whole Woman's Health Alliance advertising campaign comes after it appealed a decision by the Indiana State Health Department to deny an application for a South Bend clinic.

The digital billboard states "Women in South Bend need abortion care without shame or stigma."

In a Jan. 3 letter, the state said it found "inaccuracies" in the abortion provider's paperwork and that the nonprofit failed to meet a requirement that it has "reputable and responsible character."

Women's Health Alliance filed an appeal Jan. 22. If it's successful, a clinic would open on the city's west side and offer medication-induced abortions to women who are up to 10 weeks pregnant.
