Trending
LANSING – On Thursday Governor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement on news that Planned Parenthood of Michigan will close three health centers due to cuts made by DC Republicans.
"Today is yet another consequence of DC Republicans' historic attacks on reproductive freedom, health care access, and Medicaid.
"We've been clear about this since the passage of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' last year: these devastating cuts would force key health care providers like Planned Parenthood to close doors and shutter services, cutting Michiganders off from the critical health care they need. Planned Parenthood provides critical care, like cancer screenings, routine checkups, menopause treatment, and more, which are all at risk due to the DC Republicans' cuts.
"Republicans in Washington should be ashamed of themselves for putting women's lives at risk."
