SCHENECTADY, NY, August 2, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Another one bites the dust. Planned Parenthood is closing another of its business offices, this one in Essex County, New York.

Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson (PPMH) announced this week it will permanently close its office in Ticonderoga on August 27.

The facility did not advertise that it performed abortions but gave abortion referrals and distributed the morning after pill. “If you need emergency contraception (morning after pill), you can walk in any time the health center is open,” its website states.

It also offered “LGBT services.”

New York State Right to Life extended its thanks to Dr. John Middleton, John Miner, its North Country affiliates, “and all the pro-lifers who diligently worked over the years to promote the dignity of all human life.”

“We are so proud that Ticonderoga is being transformed into a place where pregnancy, motherhood and children are seen as blessings to be welcomed and celebrated,” the group said.

Although the office did not provide abortion directly, its closure is the latest in a string of reversals for Planned Parenthood and abortion providers nationwide. A total of 42 abortion facilities have closed so far this year.

“We care deeply about the health of our patients,” said Linda Scharf, the director of communications at PPMH. “Our priority is to transition patients to one of our other locations, or to a different provider, to ensure they get the prescriptions and health services they need.”

Scharf stated that another Planned Parenthood affiliate, Planned Parenthood North Country New York (PPNCNY), is seeking approval for a new office in the same county.
