Q. Is Abortion Coming to Middle Georgia?
A. Right now this is a disputed question. The Macon-Bibb Planning and Zoning Commission did approve Summit Center, LLC. to use 833 Walnut St. in Downtown Macon to perform first trimester abortions. However, Summit Center, LLC has been stopped from moving into downtown Macon for now, please click here to read more about this topic. We must remain vigilant as they, or another Abortion Business, may attempt to move into Macon or one of our Sister Cities here in Middle Georgia. And, never fail to remember we serve a Sovereign God.

Q. Will an Abortion Facility in Macon Make a Difference?
A. Sadly, it certainly will. If you wonder about the impact an Abortion Facility will have on Macon, if it will make a difference in Middle Georgia, please consider this piece by the Macon Telegraph about the proposed clinic (that has since been stopped). The Macon Telegraph quotes extensively from a Summit Care representative, Tanya Little, who says things like:
One reason the company chose Macon is because “the next closest facilities that provide abortion care are Atlanta and Savannah,” said Tanya Little, executive director of the Georgia and Michigan offices. “So Middle Georgia is really without a provider for abortion care.”
Also, the company is aware there “are a lot of folks” who don’t have the means to travel long distances to get the services they want, Little said.
“It’s an absolute hardship,” she said. “We’re committed to providing quality abortion care, and that includes providing care in the communities where it’s inaccessible because there are no providers. … We want to make sure that folks who need care can access it.”
Little said abortions would probably be the service used the most.
“The bulk of our services is abortion because it is not available elsewhere, and women do have more access to their OB-GYN care in most communities than they do to abortion care,” she said.
This very clearly shows Summit Center, LLC.’s mindset and it is 100% pro-abortion and they know it will make a difference in Middle Georgia if allowed. And, they honestly acknowledge that avenues for health care are already very easy to access and readily available here in Middle Georgia, but abortion is not. Remember, abortion is a business and if the company did not think it was a profitable environment for them they would not be focusing on Macon and Middle Georgia.
