A Planned Parenthood clinic that has been shuttered while city officials reviewed how it obtained its building permits will be allowed to open, city officials said Monday.The chapter that will run the facility, Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area, applied for permits under the subsidiary name Gemini Office Development. Planned Parenthood officials said they did so to protect the clinic's staff and construction workers from round-the-clock protests, but there was no effort to defraud city officials.
Speaking to a crowd of about 50 clinic workers and supporters, Steve Trombley, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood/Chicago Area, said the controversy over the center's opening was over.
"That's all behind us at this point," Trombley said. "Our doors are now open, and we are ready to provide services to the women and families of this community."
