The closures are a result of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed in July 2025 which enacted a one-year ban on federal taxpayer dollars funding abortion providers through Medicaid reimbursements.
PPOSBC describes the closing locations as “primary care” facilities, which provide wellness visits, vaccinations, diabetes management, and behavioral health services. However, the affiliate states that the federal defunding “won’t impact” its abortion operations because abortions there are funded by California taxpayers through state funds. Therefore, the facilities in these seven Planned Parenthood California locations will remain open for abortions.
Planned Parenthood closing primary care centers while sustaining its abortion operations suggests the company’s priorities lie with abortion over its primary care services. According to Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report, abortion-related procedures accounted for only four percent of the company’s medical services, while STI testing, contraception, and cancer screenings represented a combined 89 percent of its services. In total, the company provided more than 8.86 million non-abortion medical services compared to performing 402,230 abortions in its 2023-2024 reporting period. Furthermore, Planned Parenthood’s largest revenue source by far was government reimbursements amounting to $792 million in taxpayer-funded reimbursements. Ironically, Planned Parenthood is opting to sue to force taxpayers to subsidize abortion while shutting down its most-provided services and risking its largest revenue stream to continue with abortion, which is just four percent of its purported business.
