Dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics have closed or are slated to close in 2025 as the Trump administration advances its effort to block the abortion provider from receiving taxpayer dollars through Medicaid.
Susan B. Anthony (SBA) Pro-Life America, a leading pro-life organization, released a tracker this month documenting closures nationwide.
According to the tracker, 41 Planned Parenthood facilities have already shut down or are expected to close later this year.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser described the closures and the Congressional vote to end taxpayer funding of abortion providers as the most significant development for the pro-life movement since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
BREAKING: Dozens of Planned Parenthood clinics have closed or will close this year, as the Trump administration battles to defund the abortion organization of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid.

“Life is winning. The One Big Beautiful Bill’s provision defunding Big Abortion is not even fully in effect and still 41 Planned Parenthoods have closed or will close soon. Imagine how many more will shut down once they stop receiving half a billion dollars in Medicaid money,” Dannenfelser said in a statement.
“By Planned Parenthood’s own account, our victory stopping the forced taxpayer funding of abortion businesses could cause up to 200 facilities to close.”
She continued, “Planned Parenthood is stalling with their defunding lawsuit to keep raking in $2 million of taxpayer money per day, but the defunding of Big Abortion is long overdue. Planned Parenthood’s non-abortion services have decreased drastically. Cancer screenings, breast exams and pap smears are down by more than 50 percent. Contraceptive services are down by almost 40 percent. Community health centers that provide these services outnumber Planned Parenthoods 15:1 nationally and they provide better, more comprehensive care to women and their babies on Medicaid.”
In July, President Donald Trump signed the budget reconciliation package known as the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which included provisions cutting off Medicaid funding to abortion providers.
Because the measure was passed through reconciliation, Senate Republicans were able to avoid the chamber’s 60-vote threshold, requiring only a simple majority.
While the Hyde Amendment already prohibits federal funding of abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother’s life, pro-life advocates have argued that taxpayer dollars should not support organizations that perform abortions under any circumstances.
Planned Parenthood immediately filed suit against the administration, claiming that up to 200 of its clinics could be forced to shut down as a result of the funding cuts.
The case remains pending after a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama issued an injunction blocking the defunding provision from taking effect.
Planned Parenthood’s latest annual report, released earlier this year, indicated the organization carried out a record number of abortions in the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
The report, titled A Force For Hope, stated that 402,230 abortions were performed, up from 392,715 the previous year.
During the same period, Planned Parenthood received $792.2 million in taxpayer funding, nearly $100 million more than the previous year.
The federal push to block abortion providers from Medicaid funding has been reinforced by state actions.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled in a South Carolina case that the state could block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements, determining that the organization could not sue under federal civil rights law.
Following that decision, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt issued an executive order barring state Medicaid funds from going to abortion providers. Stitt cited the Supreme Court’s ruling as justification for the order.
The combination of federal action through the reconciliation bill, state-level moves such as Oklahoma’s order, and the Supreme Court’s South Carolina ruling has placed significant financial pressure on Planned Parenthood.
According to SBA Pro-Life America, the closures tracked so far may represent the beginning of a broader wave of facility shutdowns as litigation over the federal defunding effort continues.
