Four of the six planned clinics for parenthood in Iowa and four in Minnesota are closed in one year, according to the affiliate of the Midwest, which she runs on Friday and blamed in federal funds, which is responsible for the budget cuts proposed in congress and state restrictions.
The clinics closing in IOWA include the only planned facility for parenthood in the state, the abortion proceedings in Ames, in which Iowa State (*4*) is located. The others are located in Cedar Rapids, Sioux City and that of the Moines suburb of Urbandale.
Two of the clinics, which are closed by the Planned Parenthood North Central States, are located in the Minneapolis region, Apple Valley and in Richfield. The others are in central -Minnesota in Alexandria and Bemidji. The Richfield clinic delivers abortion procedures of the four.
The planned partnership for parenthood said that 66 employees would be released and 37 additional employees ask to switch to different clinics. The organization also said that it should continue to invest in telemedicine services and sees practically 20,000 patients a year. The partner serves five countries – Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
“We fought to hold together a non -sustainable infrastructure, while the landscape around us is changing and an attack of the attacks continues,” said Ruth Richardson, President and CEO of the subsidiary.
Of the remaining 15 clinics operated by Planned Parenthood North Central States, six abortion procedures will be presented – five of them in Minnesota, including three in the Minneapolis region. The other clinic is located in Omaha, Nebraska.
The partner said that President Donald Trump’s administration in April in April born 2.8 million US dollars of federal funds for Minnesota to provide birth control and other services such as cervical cancer and tests for sexually transmitted diseases.
While federal funds cannot be used for most abortions, abortion opponents have long argued that planned partnership members should not receive taxpayers’ dollars, which explains that the money still indirectly exaggerates the abortion services.
Planned Parenthood North Central States also quoted proposed cuts in Medicaid, health insurance for low-income Americans and a proposal for Trump management to remove financial resources for pregnancy prevention programs in teen age.
In addition, the IOWA, which was conducted by Republicans, banned most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy before many women know that they are pregnant, which led to the number of the number of 60% in the first six months in which the law was back, and the number of patients who traveled to Minnesota and Nebraska dramatically increased.
After the closures, the Planned Parenthood North Central States will run 10 inpatient clinics in Minnesota, two in Iowa, two in Nebraska, and in South Dakota. It does not operate in North Dakota, although his clinic in Moorhead, Minnesota, from Fargo, North Dakota, is on the other side of the Red River.
