USA Today:

People’s Community Clinic is in an article by USA Today discussing how funding for low-income women has been declining (funding for Title X) due to lobbying against Planned Parenthood. The article mentioned that many of clinics like People’s Community Clinic, need funding and do not perform abortions. In a quote USA Today cited, Mary McDowell, PCC’s chief operating officer, stated that “the demand for family planning services continue to go up and up and up…the clinic is no longer accepting new adult patients and now has to turn people away.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/07/30/family-planning-budgets-crisis-before-planned-parenthood-controversy/30861853/
