Planned Parenthood Mobile Clinic Provides Abortions and Vasectomies at DNC

This year, the Democratic National Convention has a death toll. Planned Parenthood’s “pop-up mobile health clinic” parked outside the DNC offered free abortions and vasectomies on Monday and Tuesday to anyone who signed up for an appointment. All appointment slots were filled in short order, though Planned Parenthood passed out free “emergency contraception” like Halloween candy — no appointment necessary. 

Abortionist Colleen McNicholas announced that 10 vasectomies and 25 abortions would be provided via the Planned Parenthood bus, which had traveled to the DNC from the St. Louis region. Though abortion is illegal in Missouri, women often travel across the river to clinics in Illinois, like the one where McNicholas works in Fairview Heights, just 15 miles away from St. Louis. The motorhome turned abortion clinic was designed to “travel along the state line for doctors to provide abortions.” The bus is the first mobile clinic of its kind in the nation. 

McNicholas parked the bus outside of the DNC to provide free abortions and vasectomies for attendees, sweetening the deal by offering a “free hot dog coupon” redeemable at a local restaurant called the Wiener’s Circle. The mobile clinic was parked next to a taco truck outside the United Center, where DNC events were held throughout the week. 

Vivek Ramaswamy found it telling that the bus offered both procedures. “It’s not just about the ‘liberty’ of the mother, actually. This is about an anti-child, anti-procreation, anti-family formation agenda,” he said on the Ruthless Podcast. 

He proposed that the vasectomy option was mimetic of the party’s emphasis on abortion for women: 

“Women are going to go through the procedure of an abortion; we’re going to have men go through some other procedure instead. … It’s not just that we’re in favor of women being able to live autonomously — and there’s inherent debates to be had there — it’s actually about the fact that, no, we are in both directions standing for an agenda of fewer children.” 

Abortion isn’t just a necessary evil for today’s liberals; it’s a positive good. “It may be an individual tragedy for many of those who seek one,” wrote Carl Trueman for First Things, “But ideologically it has become the poster child of a world marked by desecration, a symbol of—even a rite of passage to—exhilarating liberation.”

McNicholas seems to agree. “The 20 minutes I spend with a patient is an opportunity to hand somebody back their life,” she told the Wall Street Journal. Little does she care that each abortion she performs ends the life of the unborn child. 

The DNC was not officially connected to the mobile clinic — though, as Trueman noted, “that is a minor detail, given that abortion has the status of a creedal non-negotiable in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party.” While Democrats claim that abortion is merely healthcare, they treat the murderous procedure like a sacrament. 

This is what the next phase of abortion access looks like: a bus-turned-clinic where mothers can kill their unborn children in a parking lot. It’s tragic and dystopian. And it’s just the beginning. 

Given the media buzz surrounding the mobile abortion clinic and the abundance of articles eager to paint McNicholas as a wizened warrior for women instead of the butcher she is, it’s likely that local Planned Parenthoods across the country will follow her lead — especially as abortion clinics seek to adapt to greater demand from out-of-state women. 

But Planned Parenthood doesn’t just provide abortions anymore. It’s also a top purveyor of cross-sex hormones to individuals seeking “gender-affirming care.” If abortions and vasectomies can be performed in a bus, why not prescribe hormones as well? 

The mobile clinic is sickening, and it’s a perfect picture of the stakes of this coming election. Democrats have tried to spin the Republican ticket as “weird,” but their voters are the ones luring men and women into a van for abortions, vasectomies, and hot dog coupons.
