Celebrating Holy Week and TEN Planned Parenthoods Closing – Praise Be to God!

Resurrection Sunday is a time for good news: Christ has risen! Salvation has come! And Planned Parenthood has announced the closing of ten abortion clinics since the start of 2025!
“We praise God for the continued failings of Planned Parenthood, one of the most evil organizations of our time,” says Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. “When abortion clinics close, babies are saved, and God is glorified.”
All four affiliates that announced closures this year complain of financial problems including budget deficits, cuts to federal funding, and issues with reimbursements. They have also been quick to blame the Trump administration – despite Trump only being in office less than four months.
“Planned Parenthood will always play the victim,” adds Newman, “while their Chief Executive takes home a six figure salary and the whole organization raked in around $700 million in American tax dollars in 2023. Planned Parenthood has been greedy, plain and simple, and Americans are catching on. This abortion giant is finally falling apart – and we praise God for it.”
ILLINOIS – FOUR CLINICS CLOSED FOR GOOD
In January 2025, citing a “financial shortfall,” Planned Parenthood of Illinois announced the closing of four locations – Englewood, Ottawa, Decatur and Bloomington. All four offered medical abortions. All four have since been removed from the Planned Parenthood website.
MICHIGAN – FOUR CLINICS CLOSING BY END OF APRIL
On April 2, also citing money woes, Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced the imminent closure of three locations that commit medical abortions: Jackson, Petoskey, and Marquette. In addition, the affiliate’s Ann Arbor West location, which only offers medical abortions, will close and fold into a second Ann Arbor center, which commits medical and surgical abortions.
VERMONT – ONE CLINIC CLOSING BY JUNE 3RD
On April 8, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England announced the closing of its St. Johnsbury location, which commits medical abortions. As with the other affiliates, PPNNE cited “a deficit budget” and “serious financial hardship.”
NEW YORK – FLAGSHIP CLINIC CLOSING SOON
As Operation Rescue reported last month, Planned Parenthood of Greater New York recently announced the pending closure of its flagship location, the infamous Manhattan Health Center located at 26 Bleecker Street in New York City. This affiliate blamed “inflation and stagnant reimbursement rates” for the decision to close the surgical facility and sell the building.
In August 2024, this same affiliate announced the upcoming closure of four other New York locations – Goshen, Amsterdam, Cobleskill, and Staten Island – citing “compounding financial and political challenges.” Despite the announcement, Operation Rescue’s Annual Survey found these four clinics still offering chemical abortions at the close of last year. In the last few weeks, however, these clinics were finally and fully removed from the website – closed for good and counting as an extra four closures in 2025, in addition to the ten others that have been announced.
“We pray every abortion clinic in this nation closes,” adds Newman. “In the meantime, as we approach Resurrection Sunday, we’ll take the blessing of these ten killing centers shuttered since the start of the year. Less than 700 more to go.”
