Kruger said women with unplanned pregnancies could seek abortions in other parts of the state. Two clinics in the Kansas City area and in Wichita offer surgical abortions.
Kruger said the Religious Coalition was also opening a 24-hour counseling center in Wichita Oct. 21. Nurses will be available to help women make
decisions regarding their reproductive choices.
"This will be the first center to offer counseling for all options, whether the woman decides abortion, adoption or to keep her baby," Kruger said.
Alternatives to surgical abortion also remain in Lawrence. Planned Parenthood's clinic, 27th and Iowa streets, offers the emergency contraception pill, a non-abortive pill that can be taken up to 72 hours after a suspected conception. The pill available only by prescription, has an 89 percent success rate, said Kruger.
The pill stops ovulation, fertilization or implantation, preventing a successful pregnancy. This method does not affect previous pregnancies and will not cause an abortion, according to Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Web site.
But Lawrence's Planned Parenthood clinic does not offer the
RU-486 pill, an abortive pill that Neuhaus' clinic did offer. RU-486 can be taken within the first seven weeks of pregnancy.
The pill must be administered by a physician, and Lawrence's Planned Parenthood clinic only staffs registered nurses, said Becki Brenner, vice president for clinical services at Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri.

Shoe bomber to plead guilty to all charges
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Richard Reid, the man accused of trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes, plans to plead guilty to attempted murder and all other charges against him, his lawyer said yesterday.
Attorney Owen Walker said Reid wanted to avoid the publicity of a trial and the negative impact it would have on his family.
Reid faces up to life in prison if convicted of the most serious charges.
His attorney said Reid "has no disagreement with the facts" asserted in the charges.
In his court filing, Reid said he would admit to all eight counts against him, but asked the court to remove language from two of the charges alleging he received training from al-Qaida. Reid earlier lost a bid to remove the same
language from the indictment against him.
The motion does not say a guilty plea is contingent upon the al-Qaida references being stricken. Walker declined comment on the issue.
In Washington, Attorney General John Ashcroft said Reid acted on his own and has no plea agreement with the government.
Federal prosecutors also filed a
pleading that opposed removal of any language from the indictment.
Trial is set for Nov. 4.
Reid, a 28-year-old British citizen, is accused of attempting to kill the 197 passengers and crew members aboard American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22.
He was overpowered by flight attendants and passengers, and the flight was diverted to Boston.
