Omaha's archbishop is encouraging his fellow Catholics to oppose Planned Parenthood's of the Heartland's proposed new abortion clinic.

Omaha Archbishop George Lucas issued a statement Tuesday condemning the proposed clinic. Lucas says the clinic is disturbing because its services will include the "killing of unborn children through abortion."

Planned Parenthood announced plans for the new clinic in Omaha last month. The facility is expected to open in late 2010 and offer abortions, cancer screenings, physical exams and birth control.

Lucas says he plans to attend a prayer vigil at the clinic site in north-central Omaha this Saturday afternoon.
