This story in the San Francisco Chronicle by Sara DiNatale reports that recent budget cuts in the so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" have led to the closure of five Planned Parenthood health care centers in California, including two in places that are rural by some measure, Gilroy (Santa Clara County) and Madera (Madera County). Other closures were in South San Fancisco, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz.
Mar Monte is the largest Planned Parenthood affiliate in the United States. As DiNatale reports, "The GOP-led federal spending bill that Trump signed into law earlier this month eliminated federal Medicaid funding for any type of medical care to organizations that perform abortions."
National and regional media have paid a great deal of attention to the consequences Trump's budget cuts will have for rural health care.
