KALAMAZOO, MI -- Planned Parenthood Mid and South Michigan is closing its Battle Creek clinic, citing "increasing competition and declining patient demand" as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
The last day of operation will be Jan. 31.
Spokeswoman Desiree Cooper said the need for Planned Parenthood's health-care services has declined because of the ACA, which has greatly improved access to subsidized contraceptives and women's health-care services.
The ACA requires insurances plan to provide women with an annual physical and contraceptives without a deductible or co-pay. That means women who formerly were reliant on Planned Parenthood for services and birth control can now obtain them elsewhere, Cooper said.
The agency will continue to offer community and peer education services in Battle Creek.

“declining patient demand”
well now that obozocare is paying for contraception it may be the kind that actually works unlike what PP gives the women. Think about it. The doctors who are giving it to them now don’t sell abortions so they are giving them better stuff and, well, what a surprise, it’s working!
