They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but we don’t like seeing how similar Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics look to our Save the Storks mobile medical clinics. Planned Parenthood, which once labeled mobile medical clinics like ours as “fake clinics,” is now deploying its own mobile units across the United States. However, unlike our life-affirming clinics, these units often turn out to be low-quality vehicles that seem more focused on advancing the abortion agenda rather than genuinely supporting women and families. In contrast, Save the Storks Mobile Medical Clinic offers comprehensive care and support for every woman who needs it.
Are Abortion Buses Copying Save the Storks?
There’s been a noticeable emergence of Planned Parenthood abortion buses in cities where our Save the Storks mobile medical clinics operate, such as this one in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Compare this Planned Parenthood bus in Tennessee to our Mobile Medical Clinic in Gainesville, GA.

Although the outside of the Planned Parenthood abortion vans look similar to ours, the inside is a different story.

The inside of the Planned Parenthood mobile unit has no screen for women to see their ultrasound. Each of our mobile medical clinics has a screen in view to allow women to see their baby on the ultrasound screen. You can see this screen on display here on the inside of our recently launched For Every Woman Mobile Medical Clinic.

Dr. Colleen McNicholas, Planned Parenthood’s Chief Medical Officer for the St. Louis Region, has stated that these abortion vans could be replicated in other areas where neighboring states restrict abortion. She describes these clinics as “a demonstration of an act of defiance.” This statement reveals their true intention: using these vans to counter abortion restrictions rather than focusing on providing comprehensive support to women.

What Sets Us Apart
Save the Storks is deeply involved in designing our mobile medical clinics, setting us apart from other units on the road. Unlike typical organizations that choose options from builders, we collaborate directly with the engineering team to create custom designs, incorporating unique elements like our 360-camera system and engaging directly with manufacturers for the best quality. Our team handles all graphics in-house and conducts thorough quality control checks, ensuring each clinic meets our high standards. Additionally, our clinics are paired with our National Partner Program, ensuring trained medical professionals operate them.

What Save the Storks Mobile Medical Clinic Provides is No Secret
Our mobile medical clinics can travel anywhere for the convenience of the women they serve. They also have regular weekly locations, which you can find through their websites or by making a quick phone call. These clinics are intentionally designed to display the services we provide clearly and to be welcoming and visually appealing.
In contrast, abortion services like those provided by Just the Pill use unmarked vans and inform women of the meeting location only on the day of the appointment through a phone call. This secretive approach might suggest they have something to hide despite their claims of legal compliance. If abortion is indeed just healthcare and a positive choice for women, why the need for secrecy? This practice can contribute to the perception that abortions should be kept private and without the involvement of loved ones. Furthering this sentiment, Planned Parenthood does not allow women to bring children, partners, or friends to their appointments, requiring them to attend alone.
We build our mobile medical clinics with the goal of making each woman feel safe, valued, respected, and less like a second-class citizen just because she may be facing an unplanned pregnancy. Women can bring family members, partners, and other children with them to their appointments.
Empowering Women with Our Mobile Medical Clinics
On board a Storks’ mobile medical clinic, we aim to empower women and affirm their value and worth, providing them with real options. We aim to give women back their sense of value and worth so they can thrive. We strive to ensure that every woman has equal access to maternal healthcare. That’s why we have developed not just a vehicle but a legitimate mobile medical clinic recognized by industry leaders as a top solution for women’s reproductive healthcare.
Save the Storks’ mobile medical clinics meet women where they are and bridge gaps in maternal care deserts, ensuring equal access to quality motherhood everywhere. When a Storks’ mobile medical clinic is present, women thrive, and one life inspires another. Together, we can replace abortion units with supportive mobile clinics and reclaim quality women’s reproductive healthcare.
