The opening of a Planned Parenthood in El Centro, California has been delayed in opening because they didn’t pass the fire inspection.

At the clinic's final inspection, the city's fire chief said the building had been incorrectly classified. The new classification requires the clinic to add a fire-suppression system and other expensive improvements.

Planned Parenthood officials said the city is responding to pressure from people who don't want the clinic to open.
