None of the shuttering facilities in Lansing, Livonia and Warren performed procedural abortions

In another blow to the abortion giant, Planned Parenthood of Michigan (PPMI) announced Thursday that it is closing for good three health centers across the state, faulting a sharp decrease in federal funding and Medicaid reimbursement constraints promoted by national Republicans.
Planned Parenthood will shut down facilities in Lansing, Livonia and Warren. None of the three locations provided procedural abortions, according to a story by Fox News.
“Republicans in Congress have now demonstrated that they are willing to block Medicaid reimbursement for Planned Parenthood patients, and the Trump administration has proposed eliminating the Title X family planning program altogether,” Planned Parenthood of Michigan President and CEO Paula Thornton Greear said in a statement.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s Director of State Affairs Sue Liebel told Fox News Digital, “Michiganders deserve far better than Planned Parenthood for their hard-earned tax dollars. Not only is Planned Parenthood America’s biggest killer of babies in the womb, it is also known for botching procedures, killing or severely injuring women and girls in Michigan and nationwide.”
“All three of the closed facilities exclusively sold dangerous abortion drugs, which are a more profitable method for the abortion industry, but have been found to inflict serious adverse effects like hemorrhage, infection and sepsis in as many as 11% of women who take them,” Liebel added. “For every Planned Parenthood facility in Michigan, there are at least 20 community health centers offering women’s healthcare that are ready to welcome and truly serve low-income and other patients.”
According to Planned Parenthood, the closures follow a $4.2 million drop in patient care reimbursements and federal family planning grants compared to the previous fiscal year. Additionally, the affiliate reported carrying an unsustainable $5.6 million in uncompensated and undercompensated care.
