INDIANAPOLIS -- Planned Parenthood clinics in Indiana are reviewing their security measures following the fatal shooting in Colorado last week.

Since this summer, when an anti-abortion group released videos purporting to show evidence of the sale of fetal tissue, the Planned Parenthood office in downtown Indianapolis says it’s seen an increase in threats.

Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky says it has been in touch with IMPD and the FBI. On Saturday, for example, the organization made sure IMPD knew which clinics would be open to prepare for potential risks.

Despite the recent shooting and the increase in threats, however, the non-profit says all of its clinics have been open their regular hours, and will stay open.
