Michigan PP to Close Three Facilities, Blames Trump
By Katie Brown Xavios
At the end of July, Planned Parenthood of Michigan announced that it would be closing facilities in Livonia, Warren, and Lansing. The PP affiliate is citing federal funding cuts to Medicaid reimbursements and family planning grants as the reason for these Michigan closures, but another article asserts that it’s actually abortion pills causing harm to the abortion industry itself.
STOPP has long warned and reported that the vast majority of abortions are now done with the abortion pill regimen, and the majority of these pills are delivered to women through the mail. It now seems that these pills are making brick-and-mortar facilities obsolete, removing the need for women to go in person for an abortion.
In our last facilities report, STOPP speculated that the decrease in abortion facilities was less of a pro-life victory and more because of Planned Parenthood’s efforts to cut costs and consolidate in order to expand their telehealth and mail-order abortion efforts.
While this still seems to be the case, it now also seems that sending pills through the mail might be harming Planned Parenthood—at least its actual facilities.
In a July 31 article from Bridge Michigan, employees from an independent abortion facility in Michigan discuss how after 2022, they expected a surge of business that never came. They assert that the low patient volume “scares” them and leaves them feeling like they are no longer “needed.”
This facility blames telehealth and mail-order abortion pills saying that telehealth was intended for women who live miles and miles away, but the reality is that the majority of women are using telehealth, even some who only live a mile from the facility.
Their main complaint is what we can assume is also PP’s complaint: loss of money.
Abortion pills are significantly cheaper than surgical abortion procedures. Women who opt for these pills make up the vast majority of mothers seeking abortions, leaving just a few to opt for surgical abortions, which then makes for fewer profits for abortionists.
Profit is king for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.
These facility closures, at least to us, look like more of a result of the effects of the abortion pill craze and less a result of Trump budget cuts, as Planned Parenthood would like you to believe.
STOPP Finds That Planned Parenthood CEOs Continued to Earn More Money Prior to Medicaid Defunding
By Katherine Van Dyke
STOPP just published its 2026 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation to alert the public about how much Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs continue to earn across the country, despite all the financial struggles the organization has been claiming for years now. This report covers the abortion organization’s financial compensation for its affiliate CEOs from fiscal year 2023-2024, which included the financials from the last fiscal year prior to the temporary Medicaid defunding in July 2025.
Affiliate income and CEOs’ compensations saw an uptick overall in FY 2024. Here is an overview of where the abortion giant saw increases in that fiscal year:
- The total compensation paid to all affiliate CEOs was $21,305,153 in 2024, a 7.8% increase from the prior year.
- The average Planned Parenthood CEO earned $352,661 in 2023. In 2024, the average salary was $355,086.
- Sue Dunlap, the highest paid Planned Parenthood CEO, earned a total compensation of just under $1 million dollars in 2024. Her affiliate, PP Los Angeles, also earned the highest income of $247,408,428.
- Planned Parenthood Federation of America was given $792.2 million in American tax dollars that year.
While the organization saw these financial increases prior to the Medicaid defunding, STOPP cites numerous examples of Planned Parenthood’s downsizing of staff, affiliates, and its facilities during that time. To this day, Planned Parenthood claims that these decisions were made due to reduced abortion access post Dobbs, as well as from political “attacks” that have subsequently reduced their income.
STOPP has been pointing out for years that Planned Parenthood always finds a reason to cry poor, yet it simultaneously continues to earn more of our taxpayer money each year and increases the number of abortions it commits each year. And while it may decide to shut the door to many of its brick-and-mortar facilities, it continues to do business online through telehealth appointments. It also certainly doesn’t seem to slow down in providing its CEOs with exorbitant and increasing salaries in the difficult times it says it endures.
Since STOPP produced this report in the spring of 2026, more updated information has been acquired to give an ever more current landscape of where Planned Parenthood stands today. Please stay tuned for an updated report in the coming months from STOPP. In the meantime, please review and share this report with your friends and family who may be interested.
