Quad Cities Planned Parenthood clinic to close

By |

BETTENDORF, Iowa — The Des Moines Register has reported that the Quad Cities area will no longer have direct access to abortion services when Planned Parenthood closes its clinic in the area. The clinic was the only one in the Quad Cities, the third largest metro area in Iowa and the largest between Chicago and Des Moines. The Register said that Planned Parenthood of the Heartland was closing the clinic because of a $2 million cut in Medicaid funding to provide birth control services. The state legislature had barred any agency that provided abortions from participating after it passed a new law earlier this year. From the Register:

Planned Parenthood this summer stopped offering many services at the Bettendorf location, but it continued to dispense abortion pills there via a telemedicine system, which links patients in outlying clinics with doctors in Iowa City or Des Moines.
