County funding for Planned Parenthood health services
Oakland County
Summary
The county will pay up to $1.5 million through August 2028 to reimburse preventive and reproductive health services at the Ferndale Planned Parenthood — the last clinic in Oakland County after federal cuts closed three others. Backers say it keeps cancer screenings, STI testing and birth control accessible for roughly 6,000 residents a year; opponents say taxpayers shouldn't fund an organization they morally or politically object to, and criticized the missing contract details.
