Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Will Shut Down Center in Gainesville, Florida

America’s biggest abortion business is closing down yet another center, saying it doesn’t get enough customers.

Planned Parenthood’s Gainesville, Florida center will shut down next month due to declining patient volume, the abortion giant announced this week.

The organization said the center will permanently close on June 26.

The Gainesville Planned Parenthood Health Center doesn’t do abortions on site but sells the abortion pill and makes surgical abortion referrals. It also mutilates patients with trans drugs. The abortion group announced the closure on social media Wednesday.

“While this was an incredibly difficult decision, it does not change our commitment to our patients,” the post read, adding that customers can use its telehealth sales.

Planned Parenthood of Florida President and CEO Alexandra Mandado described the move as “an ongoing effort to align our health centers with patient needs and changes in patient volume across the communities we serve.”

Vice President of Communications Michelle Quesada told The Independent Florida Alligator the closure was “due to the Gainesville clinic’s declining patient volume.”

“We just haven’t been able to succeed at that location,” Quesada said.

She said legitimate health care from places such as GatorWell Health Promotion Services at the University of Florida and Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center contributed to the low demand.

The head of a pro-life group celebrated the news.

“For years, this killing center operated in the shadow of the University of Florida, deliberately targeting vulnerable young college women. It profited from the destruction of innocent human life and the exploitation of young, scared mothers. But God answered our prayers,” said Judie Brown of American Life League. “This victory proves that when we stand together, Planned Parenthood falls. We are systematically dismantling its grip on our communities, one city at a time.”

The Gainesville shutdown marks the second Planned Parenthood closure in Florida this year. The Lakeland center closed in early March after a “Defund” provision blocked the organization from accepting Medicaid tax dollars. Fourteen Planned Parenthood locations will remain in the state.

Florida’s heartbeat law bans abortions on babies older than 6 weeks and have saves thousands of children from death.

Gainesville is home town for the University of Florida, which I believe is the largest university in Florida.

Politically, Gainesville is Hard Left on every political issue.

Hard to believe that Planned Parenthood would shut down there.

Thank you sister, for posting.
God is good indeed.

I believe that the USA has murdered more innocents (the unborn) than did Nazi Germany kill their opponents in all of World War 2.

Do you REALLY THINK that the Master of the stars, will let His children be dismembered and murdered with impunity?

We see His judgements each day, and WORSE WILL COME.

It is hard left politically because of the university. However, there are a lot of conservative folks who live there who are outvoted all the time.

I know one would like to think this is a moral victory but it’s been suggested this is more a result of the fact fewer and fewer young people are having sex. It’s kind of necessary to have abortion customers. No sex...no abortions.

They will just sell stuff by mail. Cuts the overhead and staff way down. They can still handle phone calls.

They make a much bigger deal out of how this affects them than it really does, for the optics.

It’s great that they are shutting down. But their explanation seems to be that not enough biological males are having sex with biological women.

That could indicate another problem. But I guess at least they won’t be killing babies.
