A new tactic has emerged in the battle over abortion rights in the United States. The anti-choice website LifeNews.com is reporting that abortion opponents are purchasing clinics that offer abortions -- and then closing them down.

The article reports that the Pro-Life Majority Coalition in Chattanooga, TN won the auction of a facility that housed an abortion clinic. Abortion business have also been purchased and shut down, the article maintains, in Kansas, Nebraska and Florida.

Excerpts from the LifeNews.com article follow...

Abortion business have been purchased in states such as Kansas, Florida, Tennessee and Nebraska.

In one of the first cases the Pro-Life Majority Coalition of Chattanooga outbid a Tennessee abortion business for the right to own a local facility that had long been the sole place in town where abortions were done.

The buying of the building forced the abortion center to close and the site now houses the National Memorial for the Unborn, a memorial for all of the babies who died at the abortion center over the years.

More recently, pro-life advocates in Wichita, Kansas purchased the building that housed the Central Women's Services abortion facility.

1. I can't help but wonder if these anti-abortion groups . . .

. . . are secretly being paid under table by the Bush Administration to buy these clinics and put them out of business. I wouldn't put it past them.
