Planned Parenthood Begins 2026 By Shutting Down Missouri Abortion Clinic

The apex predator of the baby-killing world, Planned Parenthood, kickstarted the new year by announcing that they were shuttering one of their abortion clinics in Rolla, MO, the first in what will almost certainly be many.

Sandwiched between a bowling alley and a defunct Pizza Hut, the Rolla location operated there for decades before being shut down Thursday. A press release from Planned Parenthood blamed the Trump administration for the closure:

“Throughout 2025, Planned Parenthood health centers have had to contend with the deep, negative impacts of attacks on health care access, funding, and legal protections…Federal ‘defund’ efforts under the Trump administration and its allies in Congress have put more than 200 health centers at risk.”

While closing to in-person appointments, the clinic is shifting its focus to a telehealth model, offering birth control, menopause care, gender-affirming care, and abortion pills, with CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Rivers, Margot Riphagen, stating:

Shifting Rolla fully to telehealth enables patients to continue receiving the sexual and reproductive health care they trust while ensuring our long-term sustainability amid repeated attacks against sexual and reproductive health care in Missouri and across the country.

Last year, Planned Parenthood closed more than 50 clinics, or 10% of their total locations.

This is going to mean Missouri isn’t going to need illegal aliens to have anchor babies for them.

“Shifting Rolla fully to telehealth enables patients to continue receiving the sexual and reproductive health care they trust while ensuring our long-term sustainability”. It seems to me the baby doesn’t have much ‘long-term sustainability’.

Sadly, this is meaningless as long as the abortion pill is easily and widely available.
