Planned Parenthood – the Defunding Decline Continues
Just recently, PP closed 5 building locations in California, one in Ohio, one in Indiana. They’ve announced two in Houston Texas will close September 30. All that’s on top of ones already this year, and is probably just a start. See the running tab. This is in anticipation of Medicaid funding cuts due to start October 1 – though a lower-court judge has blocked the cut in what even The Washington Post editorial board decries as judicial overreach. The appeals process is expected to overturn this.
This isn’t actually the start of the decline. It’s only the start of PP blaming it on the federal funding cuts.
Some media sources are passing along PP’s line that the centers most vulnerable to being cut are those in underserved areas. They don’t stop to consider: if there’s an actual concern about those who are underserved, why wouldn’t PP concentrate its remaining resources there?
Meanwhile, a July 23 press release announced that the Missouri Attorney General’s office has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for systemically misleading women about the risks of the abortion pill.
