Planned Parenthood closed its Louisiana clinics on Sept. 30, 2025, due to federal funding restrictions, ending decades of reproductive health services.
Planned Parenthood has closed its two Louisiana clinics in Baton Rouge and New Orleans as of September 30, 2025, ending over four decades of reproductive health services in the state.
The closures follow a federal appeals court ruling allowing a provision in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” to take effect, which restricts Medicaid funding for organizations that provide or refer for abortion services.
Although the Louisiana clinics never offered abortion care, they provided essential services like birth control, STI testing, cancer screenings, and hormone therapy.
Patients and advocates expressed concern over reduced access, especially in rural areas.
Louisiana officials celebrated the closures as victories for the pro-life movement, while Planned Parenthood attributed the shutdown to sustained political pressure and legislative barriers, not lack of need.
The organization continues to operate nationally and directs patients to alternative providers through its website.
