Planned Parenthood will close its health center in Port Angeles, Washington, ending in-person services including abortion at the facility on April 2.
The organization announced the closure in a statement released Thursday on its website, citing financial pressures after the defunding bill last year that Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed.
“Like many health care organizations, we have faced huge obstacles, from funding cuts to critical programs like Medicaid, to rising care costs. We also know that patient needs and priorities are changing, with more people turning to telemedicine for their health care,” the statement said. “Because of this, we are making difficult but necessary adjustments to our health center network. We also made the difficult but necessary decision to close our Port Angeles, WA health center. Thursday, April 2 is our last day to see patients in-person.”

The abortion giant is shifting to telehealth abortions, where it will mail abortion pills to customers to kill their babies. That has resulted in an explosion of abortions across the country.
The Port Angeles facility sold abortion drugs up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and now customers will have to get them from another location in person or via telehealth – which puts women’s lives at risk.
The closure comes amid a broader wave of Planned Parenthood facility shutdowns.
Earlier this week the abortion organization said it will close two centers in Indianapolis, Indiana, effective April 3, consolidating operations at another site there.
Pro-life advocates have welcomed the reductions in Planned Parenthood’s brick-and-mortar footprint, noting it as part of a continuing national trend of more than 50 permanent closures related to defunding.
