At least 20 Planned Parenthood clinics shutter amid political turbulence

The reproductive health giant is navigating a loss of federal funding and fresh threats from multiple directions

At least 20 Planned Parenthood clinics across seven states have shuttered since the start of 2025 or have announced plans to close soon - closures that come amid immense financial and political turbulence for the reproductive health giant as the United States continues to grapple with the fallout from the end of Roe v Wade.

The Planned Parenthood network, which operates nearly 600 clinics through a web of independent regional affiliates and is overseen by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, is facing a number of threats from the Trump administration. A Guardian analysis has found that Planned Parenthood closures have occurred or are in the works across six affiliates that maintain clinics in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Utah and Vermont.
