Planned Parenthood Keystone Stops Providing All Services Except Abortion

In response to COVID19, Planned Parenthood Keystone (the branch that operates in Pennsylvania) has closed its doors to all patients seeking services other than abortion.

"To ensure the health and safety of our patients, staff, and community, Planned Parenthood Keystone has temporarily closed all of its health centers for family planning visits effective March 23, 2020," the website reads. "At this time, Planned Parenthood Keystone is serving patients in Allentown, Wilkes-Barre, Warminster, Reading, York, and Harrisburg for abortion services only."

In a move designed to stay consistent with the pro-abortion narrative that abortion is "essential health care," Planned Parenthood branches are fighting any order by state governments to temporarily close their doors to slow the spread of disease and preserve important equipment for use by hospitals.

Pro-life advocates are calling on Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf to equally enforce his executive order banning all elective surgical procedures. There is no reason for surgical abortion to be an exception to this rule.
