Independent Abortion Clinics Face Surge in Demand, Funding Challenges
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
Independent abortion clinics, the backbone of U.S. abortion care, face mounting challenges. Since the Dobbs decision, at least 100 have closed, with 23 in 2022 alone. Despite protections, financial pressures force closures. Planned Parenthoods Wisconsin pause led to a 400% surge at Affiliated Medical Services in Milwaukee. Clinics grapple with dwindling donations, funding barriers, and limited Medicaid acceptance, crucial for later-term care. The closures threaten national reproductive healthcare access, especially if federal funding is further restricted.
