What’s Happening

In May 2022, Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties rented a building zoned for medical services in the heart of Fontana and began the process to construct a new health center to make essential reproductive health care more accessible for its citizens.

However, for over a year they were delayed with constant adjustments and unnecessary aesthetic demands by the City.  In June 2023, an anti-abortion rally was held at the unannounced planned health center site and the very next month, the Fontana City Council placed an unjust moratorium on new construction permits that conveniently singled out Planned Parenthood and spared other businesses’ including those linked to a City Council member. By blocking Planned Parenthood, Fontana is prohibiting patients from accessing their constitutionally-guaranteed right to abortion and contraceptives through Prop 1.

Each month that the health center stands vacant means that at least 2,000 medical visits go unseen.
