Planned Parenthood
Has Been Defunded
We’re still here, providing compassionate, high-quality care and fighting for our patients.
What Happened?
Earlier this year, the “Big Beautiful Bill,” was passed into law, stopping Planned Parenthood from receiving federal Medicaid funding. We fought back in court and had some early wins, including a Preliminary Injunction— but on September 11, 2025, that protection was stripped from us.
Once again, Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties (PPOSBC) has been defunded while the appeal moves forward. This affects over 1.1 million patients nationwide — including 130,000 in Orange and San Bernardino Counties — who rely on us for essential care.
Let’s be clear: federal dollars have never paid PPOSBC for abortion. This wasn’t about abortion. This was about shutting us down, silencing providers, and stripping people of their fundamental right to access care.
Why You Should Care
Defunding Planned Parenthood hurts the thousands of people in our communities who rely on us for critical and even life-saving care, like birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and more.
These services are not luxuries. They are essential to living a healthy life, and now access to that care is at serious risk.
We still show up for our patients with compassion, dignity, and strength. Every day, we open our doors to people who need us most. Because our commitment to your health, your body, and your future runs deeper than their cruelty.
We’re in a crisis and need your help to meet this moment.
Now more than ever, we need our community to stand with us. Whether you’ve come to us for care, spoken out for reproductive freedom, or donated to support our work, we need you in this fight.
This is your moment to say: We won’t be bullied. We won’t be silenced. We won’t go back.
Your Voice. Your Vote.
