Every year for the last half-century, thousands of the poorest Utahns have turned to Planned Parenthood for free or discounted family planning health care, like birth control or testing for sexually transmitted infections.
But under a directive from President Donald Trump’s administration to freeze the federal funds that helped pay for those services, Planned Parenthood Association of Utah was forced to raise its fees earlier this month. And now, it will close a quarter of its clinics in the state — the two furthest from Salt Lake City, and ones most accessible to some of Utah’s most rural residents.
“When the Title X news came to us, we were unhappy, shocked in a way, but not surprised,” said Sarah Stoesz, the interim CEO for Planned Parenthood Association of Utah. “We’ve been giving it a lot of thought for some time, and had been creating contingency plans. We didn’t know how deep the cut would be, we didn’t know how permanent it might be.”
According to Planned Parenthood, it provided services to 26,000 Utah patients using Title X funds at clinics last year. The organization was slated to receive $2.8 million toward that care this year.
The Logan clinic will close on April 30 and the St. George location will shut its doors on May 2.
The shuttering of clinics comes about a month after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services informed nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that their approved Title X grants were being “temporarily withheld,” Politico reported.
Interim President Shireen Ghorbani said, “This is not a decision we have made lightly. This is a decision we are forced to make because of the Trump administration.”

Big Win there! A blow to evil PP
Amazing that funding was the only thing keeping them afloat. They were not selling enough abortions? Guess they are in the wrong business. Maybe they should go into the prenatal and delivery side of things.
Well ... they would, but ... women's health doesn't really interest PP.
“....family planning health care, like birth control or testing for sexually transmitted infections.”
In addition to killing and then chopping up in-utero babies and sucking their remains into a bucket.
Birth Control isn’t rocket science. Wear a condom, use a diaphragm, take the pill, or more dramatically, get a vasectomy or have your tubes tied. Worried about STD’s? Abstain, or be very careful about who you mess around with— after mutual testing. If you think you’ve contracted something, go to your doctor, your school nurse, or a free clinic. Again, not rocket science. The article makes their ‘services’ sound so benign.
Try going to a doctor for birth control, for Pete’s sake.
Nobody is that poor. In the past, I have been income impaired, and it is challenging.
They make it sound as though...YOU WILL NEVER SURVIVE...
Just like this idiotic SOCIAL SECURITY SCARE.
If President Trump’s efforts to increase the birth rate succeeds, then that will definitely be the new growth opportunity.
reproductive health?
...as in cutting viable babies to pieces in the womb reproductive health?
“Reproductive health”. Riiiight.
Reproductive health funds
Abortion is ‘reproductive health. No. It is not. They try to brainwash people with the lie that birth control is reproductive health
The AMA which is pro birth control and pro abortion has likely purged this fact, but the fact is, and what they taught us in nursing school, in the New York State university system no less, that -
pregnancy is the normal and healthy state of the uterus
No one can argue their way out of that.
A blow against State funded abortions.
“If President Trump’s efforts to increase the birth rate succeeds...”
I don’t look at it that way. Trump is just fullfilling the wishes of the voters. This is part of the aftermath of stopping federal politicians from using Roe as an excuse to launder money for their pork projects. The responsibility and determination of abortion no longer falls under the purveyance of the feds and is no longer a campaigning project (weapon) for federal liberal politicians. But if you saw it, even after it was no longer a tool, the libs still tried like h-ll to get it into the 2020. Rules? In a Constitution? Didn’t stop them.

Abortions is not going away but this is a win.
Most of their efforts will be with the abortion pill.
The real prize/goal is changing the hearts and will of the people. To get them to understand the value of life. Trump is doing much in this theater as well. We need to get involved one to one and other ways.
We change the world one person at a time. I have been looking for opportunities, so should all.
Now where are the Utah Deep Staters going to get their adrenochrome and hold their rituals?
Coming soon...
Federal Judges rule that a President may only serve in a greeting and ceremony role.
Judges will carry out all other functions, and as a body they will make decisions as Commander in Chief.
Congress to function as an advisory group to them.
Like the old-line papers generally, the Tribute here is an infomercial for woke satanists.
I’m just going to go ahead and guess that funds were not cut to all reproductive care services, but to abortions. Words mean things.
