Planned Parenthood has permanently closed its abortion center on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, citing the recent loss of Title X federal funding.
A sign taped to the front door announced the decision, stating the closure was “effective immediately” and blaming the Trump administration for disrupting operations, ABC Cleveland News 5 reported June 30.
The note read, “Because our Title X funds have been withheld, this health center is closed effective immediately. Ongoing attacks from the Trump Administration have disrupted the essential services we provide to the Cleveland Community.”

Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio issued a statement affirming that the closure “was not made lightly,” noting that the location had operated in the area for more than a decade.
Cleveland Right to Life responded to the news with a July 1 statement thanking “God for the legislators who stood up to the most-evil organization of our time, Planned Parenthood,” Ideastream Public Media reported.
While Planned Parenthood has consistently argued that it offers a wide range of reproductive and sexual health care, its involvement in abortion remains central. The loss of Title X funds, which under revised guidelines cannot subsidize abortion providers, has led to a nationwide reshuffling of operations for groups unwilling to separate abortion from other services.
