Planned Parenthood: Another 8 Locations Closing In Red AND Blue States… Here’s Why
Elections have consequences... even for Planned Parenthood
Not even four years of Joe and Kamala’s hyper-aggressive pro-abortion policies were enough to keep these 8 locations afloat.
Planned Parenthood will be shuttering 4 locations in Iowa and another 4 in (of all places) Minnesota. They’re citing funding cuts and legal changes.
Here’s the breakdown.
With the closure of these four locations in Iowa, Planned Parenthood will no longer be performing abortions anywhere in the state. The Iowa locations slated for closure are in Ames, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, and Urbandale.
Another four locations are closing in Minnesota: Alexandria, Apple Valey, Bemidji, and Richfield.
It should go without saying that the politics and values of those two states are very different. Naturally, the pressures pushing each to closure were different.
In Iowa, the fetal heartbeat law effectively caps abortion at 6 weeks. Starved of paying customers, Planned Parenthood struggled to remain profitible.
Minnesota has no such restrictions on abortion. If anything, abortion laws have become more expansive in the wake of the Dobbs decision than they were in the time leading up to it.
Shockingly, Democrats are actively hostile to born-alive legislation (forcing medical care to be given to babies who survive the ordeals of abortion), and do NOT want tax dollars to go to crisis pregnancy centers. They have a positive preference for abortion over bringing certain kinds of babies into the world.
So why are abortion mills in Minnesota running into trouble, and closing shop?
In Obama’s words: ‘elections have consequences’.
Planned Parenthood North Central States (PPNCS) announced on Friday that it will shut down four facilities in Iowa and four more in Minnesota in the coming year, attributing the move to recently enacted state laws prohibiting many abortions, the Trump administration’s current freeze on some federal funding, and likely future federal budget cuts to the abortion giant. — Life Site News
Trump has frozen funding to Planned Parenthood. They have also blocked federal dollars from going to so-called ‘gender affirming care’, whose medical legitimacy and history of results are anything but so-called ‘settled science’.
