Planned Parenthood clinics in Louisiana close

[noumoe]

Planned Parenthood's two clinics in Louisiana closed on Tuesday over challenges that the organization said made it unfeasible to operate there.

The clinics were in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

The president of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast said the closures were forced by "compounding political attacks that have dismantled public health infrastructure, (and) blocked patients from care."

The closures follow a court ruling last month that affected the clinics' ability to accept Medicaid reimbursements for providing patient care, by clearing the way for a provision of President Trump's tax and spending bill to be implemented.
