The Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing more centers – with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer dollars away from the abortion giant.
California’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the state’s largest abortion company, have lost $300 million in federal funding following the new federal law that defunds America’s biggest abortion business.
The congressional reconciliation bill, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump earlier this month, prohibits Medicaid reimbursements for nonprofit health clinics that kill babies and receive more than $800,000 in federal funding annually, effectively cutting off federal support for California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte announced the closure of five health centers in Northern California and the Central Coast on Thursday, attributing the decision to federal funding cuts enacted through President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” The closures, affecting abortion centers in South San Francisco, Gilroy, Seaside, Madera, and North Highlands, mark a significant victory for pro-life advocates who have long sought to redirect taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses.
The budget reconciliation bill, signed into law on July 4, includes a provision that strips Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers for one year. Pro-life groups hailed the measure as a critical step toward ending federal support for organizations they argue prioritize abortion over comprehensive health care.
The closures impact Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the nation’s leading abortion chain, which operates 34 centers across California and Nevada.
The organization cited the loss of Medicaid reimbursements as the primary reason for shuttering the facilities.
“These closures are a direct result of the Trump administration’s policies targeting Planned Parenthood,” the organization stated.
Pro-life advocates, however, argue that the defunding redirects resources to more comprehensive care providers.
The budget bill’s passage followed a Supreme Court ruling in June 2025 that allowed South Carolina to block Medicaid funds from Planned Parenthood, reinforcing the legal framework for the federal provision. The reconciliation process enabled Republicans to bypass a 60-vote Senate threshold, securing the measure with a simple majority.
The debate over Planned Parenthood’s funding is far from over. A federal judge in Massachusetts temporarily blocked the defunding provision on July 7, prompting some affiliates to resume Medicaid services with the expectation of taxpayer funding.
Although the law is temporarily on hold because of a liberal judge in Massachusetts, the California Planned Parenthood affiliate will lose funding because it is not covered by the ruling.
While Judge Talwani’s preliminary injunction partially blocked the law, allowing a small fraction of Planned Parenthood’s nearly 600 abortion cnters nationwide to continue receiving Medicaid funds, none of California’s clinics were included in the exemption.
Jodi Hicks, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, expressed concern over the ruling’s consequences, stating, “The harsh reality is, the Planned Parenthood defund will be felt in every corner of the state.”
Planned Parenthood, of course, could continue getting taxpayer funds if it stopped killing babies. But it prioritizes abortion above legit health care.
The national Planned Parenthood federation remains hopeful for a future court ruling to restore funding, stating it is optimistic that additional clinics, including those in California, could regain federal support. Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services has filed a notice of appeal, signaling ongoing legal battles over the funding ban.
According to Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report, the organization killed more than babies in 400,000 abortions in 2023 and 2024 and received nearly $800 million from taxpayers.
The Hyde Amendment already prohibits federal funds from directly paying for abortions. However, Planned Parenthood receives approximately $700 million annually through Medicaid reimbursements and Title X grants. Pro-life leaders argue this funding frees up resources for Planned Parenthood’s abortion operations.
If these lefties truly were compassionate or cared about “ health”
they would abort for free.
But they won’t
Cuz the aren’t
Bill Gates is reading this. He will NOW kick in, he won’t let the abortion industry go without funding. Maybe Black Lives Matter and Antifa can also help. That is the way it is suppose to work.
Didn’t like Trump’s weakening on this issue in advance of 24. And his administration is taking the same position on the abortion pill as Biden’s. But he pardoned 23 Pro-Lifers in prison right after taking office and now he is drying up PP’s funding. We wouldn’t get this under Kamala or Joe. 50-50 is better than 0-100.
It is not a capitulation as long as you are moving forward...and we are in different ways (funding for one...)
Worth noting that there was a hack Judge that ruled the PP funding must be continued. Does this mean that we are finally telling one of these judge to F themselves?
What?! You mean most of their business WAS NOT mammograms and pap smears? /s
OR they would teach and facilitate birth control and obviiate need for abortions in most instances. one never hears talk of birth control anymore. not conceiving at all is the way to go.
Planned Slaughterhouse Parenthood is ALL about slaughtering the unborn, without killing babies they wouldn’t have any business, its 100 percent all they do
Many years ago my sister went to the doc(Kaiser) she felt something on her boob turned out to be nothing but at the Kaiser she went to they had no available appointments so my sister asked the doctor “Maybe I can get an appointment at Planned Parenthood and get the mammogram there and Kaiser can pay for it” the doc looked at her and laughed and said “Planned Parenthood only does abortions”
400,000 dead babies and 450,000 disappeared live children from Biden.
I’ll take the 5 closures.
All those abortionists looking for work? That breaks my heart!
Hah!
Praise God. More winning.
“with another 5 closing in northern California thanks to the defunding bill President trump signed that took $300 million in taxpayer dollars away from the abortion giant.” Good, this should help curtail the continually rising body count.
Yet another example of “winning”. This is what I voted for. Thanks for posting.
What it means is that demoncRATS moneylaundering apparatus using taxpayer funds is defunct However, there are still many more yet to feel the pinch of this godawful apparatus.
Planned Parenthood total revenue....(hard to find details and there are several versions of the figure)
Over $2 Billion most years.
For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, their total revenue was $2.261 Billion.
Based on information from Planned Parenthood:
Medication abortion: The average cost is around $580, but it can be less and can reach up to around $800.
First-trimester in-clinic abortion: The average cost is about $600, but it can be less and can reach up to around $800.
Second-trimester in-clinic abortion: The cost varies depending on how many weeks pregnant you are. Early in the second trimester, the average is around $715, while later in the second trimester, it can range from $1,500 to $2,000.
