BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Planned Parenthood is building the stage for another possible fight over abortion in Alabama: a large women’s clinic that’s under construction despite the state’s passage of a near-total ban on abortions. The new facility could be complete around November, which is the same time the new state law will take effect unless blocked by courts. It would replace the current Planned Parenthood clinic in Birmingham, where opponents say abortions haven’t been performed regularly since 2017. None of those are operated by Planned Parenthood. Luttrell said Planned Parenthood hopes courts block the new law by the time the new clinic is ready to open.
