A Planned Parenthood bus will give out free abortions and vasectomies near the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week.
The “mobile health clinic” is reportedly parked about a half mile down the street from the convention and will offer services on both Monday and Tuesday.
Appointments are already entirely booked out, and there is a waiting list for vasectomies, according to Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, which covers the St. Louis area and sent the bus.
The Planned Parenthood affiliate said it would take more appointments if people canceled.
Free emergency contraception will also be available without an appointment at the mobile clinic.
While a majority of Americans oppose abortions past the first trimester, a majority identify as “pro-choice” and support abortions early in pregnancy.
Democrats have hammered the abortion issue throughout the election cycle and are expected to continue to emphasize it over the course of the DNC this week.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has said Democrats are the “radicals” on the abortion issue and supports leaving the issue up to individual states.
Since Roe vs. Wade was overturned, 22 states have implemented abortion restrictions, namely North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Bans are blocked by courts for now in two more states, Montana and Wyoming.
Pro-life advocates reacted with disgust to the mobile clinic.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America blasted Democrats’ extremism on abortion.
“From ‘free’ abortion drugs aboard the Planned Parenthood bus, to a draft party platform that uses the word abortion an unprecedented 13 times, today’s Democrats under the Harris-Walz ticket are officially the Shout Your Abortion Party,” Dannenfelser said.
“Everyone should be asking Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and all the Democrats’ candidates the question: What are your exceptions? Harris and Walz won’t name a single limit on abortion they support – not in the seventh, eighth or ninth month of pregnancy when unborn babies clearly feel pain, and not even when a child is born alive following an abortion attempt. They stand for eliminating the most basic protections for women and girls, such as informed consent and parental involvement, and seek to shut down alternatives to abortion,” she added.
Judie Brown, president of the American Life League said Democrats have long fueled the Planned Parenthood “engine.”
“Now that PP has chosen to provide free child killing at the DNC, the combination, or should we say bloody wedding, is complete. Let buyers beware lest they too become part of the national bloodbath. America is awash in the carnage,” Brown said.
