"The state's funding will "support these critical health care centers and access points to life-saving care and treatment for millions of Californians," Newsom said in a statement. "California is a reproductive freedom state, and this latest investment continues to show our belief in protecting access to essential health care in times of distress. Trump's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood put all our communities at risk as people seek basic health care from these community providers.""
"California's Planned Parenthood affiliates operate more than 100 healthcare centers across the state, providing more than a million patient visits a year to Californians in search of basic health care needs, including abortion services, according to the governor's office. Newsom said that in 2026 he and legislative leaders intend to identify additional resources so Planned Parenthood health centers can continue to provide critical services to Californians."
Governor Gavin Newsom announced approximately $140 million in state grants to support Planned Parenthood health centers across California so the nonprofit can continue operating until additional resources are identified. The funding responds to the Trump Administration's decision to defund Planned Parenthood nationwide under the Big Beautiful Bill signed in July. The grants aim to preserve access to life-saving care and treatment for millions of Californians. Planned Parenthood affiliates in California operate over 100 healthcare centers and deliver more than a million patient visits annually, including abortion services. State leaders intend to identify further resources by 2026 while affiliates weather the federal defund.
