Planned Parenthood Will Close Two Abortion Centers in Ohio

Thanks to the new federal law defunding America’s biggest abortion business, Planned Parenthood has announced it will close two abortion centers in Ohio.

“Today, Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region announced the upcoming closure of its health centers in Springfield and Hamilton, a direct result of the federal Reconciliation Bill passed earlier this month, which bars health care providers that offer abortion services from participating in the Medicaid program,” the abortion company said in a statement.

“Make no mistake: this was not a decision made by Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region,” said Nan Whaley, President & CEO of the abortion giant. “We took every possible step to keep these centers open, but the devastating impact of state and federal political attacks has forced us into this very difficult position.”

Planned Parenthood will close the centers August 1st and said it did not expect to have additional closures.

A leading local pro-life group celebrated the news.

“Cincinnati Right to Life is encouraged by the news that Planned Parenthood will be closing two of its Southwest Ohio locations. As the nation’s largest abortion provider continues to lose ground, this marks a hopeful shift toward a culture that values life and true healthcare,” the group told LifeNews in a statement.

Laura Strietmann, Executive Director of Cincinnati Right to Life shares, “Every time a Planned Parenthood closes, lives are saved and fewer lies are told. Ohioans do not need this preborn child-killing business. Women need love, support, and true healthcare at one of the hundreds of other Federally Qualified Health Centers or from one of Ohio’s many free pregnancy centers. We have always shared the truth: abortion is not healthcare. Maybe the world will wise up and start to unnderstand and agree with this truth.”

Both of these soon-to-be shuttered facilities had routinely referred mothers to the Planned Parenthood abortion center in Cincinnati or to the abortion center in Kettering, making it so that they facilitated abortions even though they were not done on site.

The pro-life group said it continues to fight abortions at those locations:

Since the tragic passage of Ohio’s Issue 1 in 2023, the Auburn Avenue facility has seen a disturbing exponential increase in traffic and the number of abortion-minded mothers entering its doors.

For over a year, Cincinnati Right to Life has deployed full-time sidewalk advocates and an ultrasound van in front of Planned Parenthood on Auburn Ave. These trained and extroidinary volunteers are reachinig vulnerable mothers and fathers before they make a devastating decision to poison, suffocate, or dismember their son or daughter at the hands of violent abortionists in Planned Parenthood.

Cincinnati Right to Life also extends heartfelt thanks to Ohio U.S. Senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, as well as Congressman Warren Davidson and every other member of Ohio’s congressional delegation who voted to defund Planned Parenthood through the One Big Beautiful Bill. Their leadership and commitment to protecting life at the federal level are helping shift resources away from the abortion industry and toward authentic, life-affirming care.

We thank God for this victory and for every faithful supporter of the pro-life movement who continues to stand for truth and love in a culture of confusion and death.

Today’s announcement of the pending closures are yet another reminder that Ohio does not need Planned Parenthood—and never did. These are not healthcare centers; they are outposts of destruction disguised in the language of care. And with their closure, life wins another small but significant victory.

Weird how Auburn ave in Cincinnati is in a black neighborhood a few properties down from the juvenile detention center.
Why did they put PP in a bad area?

Two down, hundreds to go.
