The Planned Parenthood abortion business is closing yet another center — the 19th center this year.
Planned Parenthood’s Evansville, Indiana center, a facility long targeted by pro-life advocates, will permanently close its doors to in-person appointments on Sept. 4.
The decision marks a significant victory for the pro-life movement in Southwest Indiana.
The closure, announced by Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky (PPGNHAIK), comes amid what the abortion organization describes as mounting financial and political pressures. The decision to shutter the clinic at 125 N. Weinbach Ave. follows years of advocacy from groups like Right to Life of Southwest Indiana, which celebrated the closure as a triumph for their cause.
“Right to Life of Southwest Indiana would like to thank all of our faithful supporters who have consistently shown up to pray and peacefully protest outside Planned Parenthood’s facility,” the organization stated in a news release. “We are grateful for this closure and will continue our efforts to protect the unborn in our community.”

Planned Parenthood officials cited “rising costs, low reimbursement rates, the lasting effects of COVID-19, the aftermath of the Dobbs decision, and targeted attacks on reproductive health care” as reasons for the closure.
“This decision was not made lightly and reflects a careful evaluation of patient needs, access to care, and the challenges facing sexual and reproductive health care today,” the abortion organization said in a statement.
With the closing, the abortion giant has closed facilities in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Texas and utah this year — 19 total among those states.
Pro-life advocates view the closure as a step toward reducing abortion, a mission they’ve pursued for years. Indiana protects babies from abortion under its abortion ban, the first approved by a legislature following Dobbs in 2023.
“Abortion is not health care,” said Mary Ellen Van Dyke, executive director of Right to Life.
Right to Life of Southwest Indiana attributed the closure to the “power of prayer” and the dedication of its supporters, signaling continued efforts to challenge Planned Parenthood’s presence in the region.
