Contraception Services Dropped After ‘Defunding’ Provision Hit Clinics

In the local area, changes have been observed in the availability of contraception services. A recent development has led to a reduction in services offered by certain clinics. The impact of this change is evident in the number of clinics that have closed. Planned Parenthood has closed 20 clinics in recent months. Further information about this situation can be found through Rewire News Group, which has reported on the effects of a budget reconciliation bill on reproductive health-care clinics, including the loss of Medicaid funding.
