Planned Parenthood of Utah just announced that it will be shutting down two of its locations—one in Logan and one in St. George. While abortion advocates decry the closures as a loss for "reproductive healthcare," the truth couldn’t be more clear: Planned Parenthood’s business model depends on abortion, not healthcare.

These closures are not random—they're strategic. Neither clinic offered surgical abortions. The St. George location never provided abortion at all. The Logan clinic dispensed the abortion pill and had become a hub for abortion tourism, offering 233 abortions to women from neighboring Idaho where pro-life protections are in place.

So why are they closing now? Because once again, President Trump’s administration took steps to redirect Title X funding—a move that stripped Planned Parenthood of millions in federal dollars unless they separated abortion from their healthcare services. Instead of complying to maintain funding for birth control and STD testing, Planned Parenthood walked away. They chose abortion over healthcare. They always do.

This tells us everything we need to know.

Planned Parenthood often claims to be about providing affordable healthcare to women: birth control, cancer screenings, and STD tests. But if those services truly sustained their business, why are these clinics—the ones not offering surgical abortions—the first to close?

The answer is simple: abortion is their cash cow.

Let’s be clear: if Planned Parenthood truly existed to provide basic healthcare—birth control, STD testing, cancer screenings—they would be thriving.

But they’re not.

The truth is, they cannot survive without abortion. “Healthcare” is just the front. Without abortion money or government subsidies, the doors close. That’s not compassion—that’s a business model built on the backs of vulnerable women and the lives of unborn children.

Meanwhile, Pro-Life Utah continues to grow—not by selling procedures, but by giving.
Unlike Planned Parenthood, our work is primarily powered by volunteers. Moms, retirees, college students, professionals—real people who give their time, energy, and money to walk alongside women in crisis. We help with baby items, housing, education, job support, legal aid, counseling, and more. And we do it not for profit, but out of love.

While Planned Parenthood shuts down when abortion isn’t profitable, Pro-Life Utah shows up every single day—driven not by financial gain, but by the belief that every life matters. Every mother. Every baby.

This week’s closures are not a tragedy. They are a victory. A sign that the tide is turning. A sign that abortion is no longer untouchable, and that communities are beginning to see through the façade. Planned Parenthood doesn’t care about women’s health. If they did, they’d continue offering services in St. George and Logan. But without abortion income, it’s not worth it to them.

The truth is this: when abortion isn’t profitable, Planned Parenthood disappears.

That’s because it was never about healthcare. It was always about the money. Blood money, collected through the dismemberment of children in the womb.

But real empowerment doesn’t come from ending a life. It comes from standing beside a woman, giving her the tools, hope, and support to choose life. And that’s exactly what we’ll keep doing.
