Michigan Abortion Businesses Drop 12% as Planned Parenthood Closes Four Centers
The number of abortion centers in Michigan fell 12% over a nearly two-year period ending in December 2025, according to a new report from the Guttmacher Institute. That comes as Planned Parenthood of Michigan closed four centers amid financial pressures.
The decline in brick-and-mortar facilities killing babies in abortions occurred from March 2024 to December 2025.
In April 2025, Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced it would permanently close three health centers in Jackson, Petoskey, and Marquette by the end of April. It also consolidated its two Ann Arbor facilities into one location by July 1.
Right to Life of Michigan celebrated the news, but said more needs to be done to protect babies.

“While this is encouraging news for women and the unborn, the growing use of the abortion pill continues to account for the majority of abortions in both our state and the nation,” it said.
“The expansion of telemedicine – where a woman receives the abortion pill by mail and goes through the process without direct medical supervision – is unfortunately offsetting the decline in abortions from the decreasing number of clinics in Michigan,” Right to Life added.
The radical abortion organization cited rising operational costs and threats to federal funding as factors in the restructuring.
“We are heartbroken to lose these centers, but this is about ensuring we can continue providing care sustainably,” said Paula Thornton Greear, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
The closures reduced Planned Parenthood’s physical presence in the state, leaving the Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Michigan without a Planned Parenthood center – making it more likely that babies will be saved and patients ho to legitimate health care centers.
The abortion organization also cut staff by 10%, affecting about 30 employees, while pledging to expand telehealth services.
A March 5, 2026, Axios report on the Guttmacher findings highlighted that Planned Parenthood of Michigan closed three health centers in Jackson, Petoskey, and Marquette; consolidated Ann Arbor operations; and reduced staff by 10%. The report noted that the Trump administration’s withholding of taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion companies likely contributed to the decline.
