Mergers of Planned Parenthood affiliates have been quite common in recent years. In May 2007, Planned Parenthood affiliates from Tucson and Phoenix agreed to a merger that took place in October.

A key reason given for the merger, according to an Arizona Daily Star report, was "to condense operations and increase fundraising to expand Planned Parenthood services in Southern Arizona and across the state" (5/26/07). Bryan Howard, who was to head the new merged group, told the Daily Star that it was Planned Parenthood's goal to increase the number of clinics from 20 to 24 or 28.

Affiliates from Roanoke, Virginia, and Raleigh, North Carolina, announced an interstate merger May 2007 that was to be finalized on June 30, 2007. Walter Klausmeier, head of the Raleigh affiliate, told the Roanoke Times that the merger would improve efficiency, but said he expected "no or minimal downsizing" at the Roanoke affiliate (5/14/07).

Five Ohio affiliates merged to form Planned Parenthood of Northeast Ohio in July 2007 in what the Cleveland Plain Dealer termed "an effort to strengthen its influence in the region" (7/17/07). The paper called the merger "the largest Planned Parenthood consolidation in the country," including 17 "health centers" with another that was supposed to open in the fall.
