Planned Parenthood has just announced that it is shutting down all of its clinics in Louisiana, which is only two at this point, and it has everything to do with the Big, Beautiful Bill just signed into law by President Trump.
Here’s the news via The Hill:
Planned Parenthood will close its two clinics in Louisiana on Sept. 30 as the organization faces funding challenges under President Trump’s tax and spending package.
Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast President Melaney Linton said in a statement the Louisiana closures are a “direct result of relentless political assaults.”
“This is not a decision we wanted to make; it is one we were forced into by political warfare. Anti-reproductive health lawmakers obsessed with power and control have spent decades fighting the concept that people deserve to control their own bodies,” she wrote.
She added that “extremists” lawmakers have done everything in their power to try and “defund” Planned Parenthood and dismantle public health infrastructure and prevent Americans from receiving needed health care.
“Every health center closure, every patient who goes without care, every undetected cancer and untreated infection is on those lawmakers’ hands.”
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) called the clinic closures “welcome news” on a post to the social platform X.
“Planned Parenthood built its business around promoting death. Louisiana chooses life. We will always protect women and babies.”
Louisiana citizens should be ecstatic at this announcement. The state AG is exactly right about PP and it’s long past time they closed up shop.
What a great victory for Trump and Republicans!
