Planned Parenthood Closes Abortion Biz in Utah

The nation’s biggest abortion company has closed an abortion facility in Utah, where state officials are fighting in court to uphold the state’s abortion ban.

The closing of the Logan, Utah abortion center comes just days after Planned Parenthood announced that the abortion chain would lay off 15% of its staff.

As Planned Parenthood Association of Utah fights a blocked near-ban on abortion and a recently passed abortion clinic ban in Utah courts, its only facility that offers abortions outside Salt Lake County “temporarily” closed in March, providing no explanation to patients.

And although abortion procedures aren’t performed there, patients can go to the clinic to access medicated abortion. Only three other facilities in the Beehive State — all in Salt Lake City or surrounding municipalities — offer abortion pills.

The exact date of the closure is unclear. A spokesperson for Utah’s Planned Parenthood affiliate said it closed in late March, while another Facebook post from a patient noting its closure was made on March 18.

The Logan clinic seemingly closed within days of Gov. Spencer Cox signing an abortion clinic ban into law on March 15. A district court judge put that law on hold in May, as the abortion trigger ban it’s attached to remains blocked while the Utah Supreme Court considers whether to keep the injunction.

A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Association of Utah said the temporary closure came as a result of the Logan clinic “facing the same medical staffing issues that many other health care providers are experiencing.”

Pro-Life Americans will have another reason to celebrate the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision this month. That’s because the Planned Parenthood abortion business is laying off 15% of its staff nationwide as more states pass laws protecting babies from abortion.

Nearly one year after the Dobbs decision allowed states to legally protect unborn children, Planned Parenthood officials say they’re preparing to restructure the organization’s national office and lay off dozens of staff members. About 80 people are expected to be let go as Planned Parenthood cuts employees to tighten its belt as it makes less money from killing babies.

America’s biggest abortion business says it’s going to focus more on helping its local affiliates and more on telehealth – which likely means pushing the dangerous abortion pill. It plans to spend $70 million expanding its 49 affiliates and to “build a powerful movement for abortion access at the local and state level.”

The abortion giant will also start a new initiative to further Margaret Sanger’s goals by promoting abortion more to black women.

And it plans to do even more political advocacy as it continues shifting away from any form of legitimate health and becomes even more of an abortion business than it is now.
