Question: Why hasn’t planned parenthood bothered to get their office in Fitchburg Open yet?
The Sentinel & Enterprise is noting that while Planned Parenthood has managed to win the legal battles so far things are going kinda slow in Fitchburg:
Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts President Dianne Luby announced in January that Fitchburg would see a new clinic this spring, sparking opposition among pro-life advocates and community leaders who did not believe Planned Parenthood would benefit the downtown image.
More than five months later, the windows at 391 Main St., the space Planned Parenthood has leased, remain dark.
“We’re moving forward with plans in Fitchburg; it’s just that we don’t have a date, not even a tentative date, for opening,” said Elizabeth Rodgers, a media coordinator for Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.
Ah the innocence of youth. Emily you have to understand that the location of this clinic has everything to do with the middle school. Until the middle school is back in business the target audience for the “clinic” isn’t available. Once the kids are back then Planned Parenthood will be able to do what it is in Fitchburg for, and believe me preventing teenage pregnancy isn’t it.

No other businesses have stepped up and opened their doors within that time as well.
Although it is nice to see that closer to the college, a new pizza restaurant has since opened and the college has purchased on demolished the large eye sore at North Street.
…speaking of the college. It would seem to me that the promiximity to the college must have been in the plans of PP as well.
Just think about it, every year a new flux of 17 & 18 year olds, either commuting or living on campus visiting Fitchburg every day during the school year.
DaHospitalityGuy: some colleges (or a lot) have their own student health centres, and, as a fees-paying student, you get discounted medical care there. I don’t know what FSC is like and what services it offers, but it is possible that PP went in where it did to pick up some of the slack. If I were to be cynical, I would say that PP is trying to take business away from the college, since FSC has (I think) a day care and resources for pregnant and parenting students. Even if that isn’t the intention, you can bet that a student facing a crisis pregnancy would get more information about FSC’s resources from FSC itself, rather than from PP.
