Facing a $100 million revenue shortfall largely due to federal Medicaid reimbursement cuts, Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, the largest affiliate of the national abortion business, has begun offering Botox injections and other cosmetic procedures to generate new income.
The affiliate, which serves Northern California and Nevada, is introducing the services amid significant financial pressures. It closed five abortion clinics and laid off nearly 15% of its staff in 2025 after losing substantial Medicaid funding following a July spending bill under President Trump.
Stacy Cross, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, said of the funding gap, “We’ll never fill this $100 million gap. It’s impossible. But we have to do everything we can.”
She added, “We know we have to face reality to keep our doors open. That’s where these new services come in.”

Botox is now available at the abortion company’s Sacramento clinic for $9 per unit, at least 25% less than the $12 to $15 per unit charged at nearby medspas. Typical treatments include 10 units per eye area for wrinkles or 40 units for masseter muscles to address teeth clenching.
More than 30 staff members have signed up for accredited training sessions on administering the new products later this year. The services also include IV hydration therapy priced at $100–$150 per bag—compared with $185–$500 at medspas—and nitrous oxide for pain management during procedures such as IUD insertions or removals.
Dr. Laura Dalton, chief medical operating officer, described the changes as part of staying current: “We’re not stagnant. We want to be relevant and want to learn new things.”
She noted a key advantage: “We don’t have the same profit-margin expectations as a medspa.”
Samantha Pohlman, aesthetics program director, acknowledged initial reactions to the shift: “Everyone’s first reaction when I tell them that this is what we’re doing now is, ‘What?’ with a raised eyebrow.” She added, “For me and for us, I think it makes perfect sense.”
For pro-life Americans, the botox goes right along with the baby-killing business – sacrificing children to serve self.
