Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Will Close 7 California Centers

Planned Parenthood’s abortion empire continued its downward spiral as the abortion organization announced the closure of seven centers in California,

That pushes the total number of its facilities shuttered across the country this year to 50 and highlights the mounting financial toll of federal defunding efforts championed by pro-life advocates. Planned Parenthood clearly relies on our tax dollars to prop up its abortion business.

The closures, affecting Melody Health — an arm of Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties — will shutter locations in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Westminster, San Bernardino and Upland. The centers are set to cease operations on December 10.

The decision comes amid aggressive Republican-led measures to strip federal funding from abortion providers, including the “One Big Beautiful Bill” signed into law by President Donald Trump earlier this year that defunded the abortion giant for one year. That legislation blocks Medicaid reimbursements to groups like Planned Parenthood that receive more than $800,000 annually in federal funds, a provision pro-life leaders credit with accelerating the chain’s decline.

Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties President and CEO Krista Hollinger said in a statement, “Unfortunately, we are now in an unprecedented situation with the defunding, and a deeply painful reality has been forced on us.”

Some 81 employees of the abortion company will lose their jobs as a result, while countless babies will be saved as some women find better alternatives.

The nation’s largest abortion chain killed 402,230 babies in abortions in its 2023-2024 fiscal year, a figure that has risen even as federal and state restrictions tighten.

In July, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte shuttered five Northern California centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Merced and North Highlands, explicitly blaming Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” for the $300 million hit to the state’s affiliates.

“These closures are a direct result of the Trump administration’s policies targeting Planned Parenthood,” the organization stated at the time.

By late September, 42 Planned Parenthood centers had closed, with eight more following in October, including a Memphis site and now the seven in California. Other notable shutdowns include four in Illinois, four in Michigan, four in Minnesota, four in Iowa and two in Houston, Texas — home to what pro-life activists called the “largest abortion facility in the Western Hemisphere.”

“We praise God for the continued failings of Planned Parenthood, one of the most evil organizations of our time,” said Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, in April after the chain announced its 10th closure of the year. “When abortion clinics close, babies are saved, and God is glorified.”

Makes sense. The people who advocate for Planned Parenthood’s existence engage in sexual practices that don’t result in pregnancy.

Oh yes! They have lost their money to kill babies in abortion so they have to close! What does that tell you? It was all about the money and not “helping women”.

“The people who advocate for Planned Parenthood’s existence engage in sexual practices that don’t result in pregnancy.”

This is what Margaret Sanger was pushing all along.

I guess the exception to that rule would be teachers who impregnate their students.

So Planned Parenthood is blaming the federal government for closing down the abortion centers. Can’t they just charge the patients more to replace the fed funding? What is the out-of-pocket cost for this kind of thing, anyway?

Sadly, I don’t read KS on that list. Oh well, at least less murdered babies.

It appears that Big Murder cannot survive without taxpayer money.

I have found that there are skilled humanoids who do this:

George Richard Tiller was an American physician and abortion provider from Wichita, Kansas. He gained national attention as the medical director of Women’s Health Care Services, which, at the time, was one of only three abortion clinics nationwide that provided late-term abortions.

Then there’s people like this who say enough already.
