Planned Parenthood released its 2024-2025 annual report over the Easter weekend. Every year, the publication provides a glimpse into Abortion Inc.’s medical and financial data. It was a record-breaking year for abortions. Taxpayer funding was at an all-time high.
It’s been almost four years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe v. Wade. You’ve probably seen the headlines about brick-and-mortar clinics closing or consolidating in recent years, but that is actually a long-term trend. Planned Parenthood operates nearly 600 clinics now, compared to 860 clinics 20 years ago.
There are certainly challenges to Planned Parenthood’s business model, but that hasn’t stopped efforts to promote abortion in every state. Since Roe was struck down, Planned Parenthood has helped 171,000 women travel get abortions, spending $3.7 million last year to assist 12,200 clients.
It’s worth noting that for all the Left’s talk about abortion as “reproductive care,” Planned Parenthood delivered zero babies in 2025 and performed 143 abortions for every adoption referral made last year.
In the medical data section, Planned Parenthood reported:
- 434,450 abortions, an all-time high, up from last year’s 402,230 abortions.
- 331,417 breast cancer screenings and Pap tests, down from 364,594 the previous year.
- 125,422 preventive care visits, down from last year’s 129,594.
- 3,038 adoption referrals, up from 2,148 the previous year.
- 2,268,991 contraceptive services, down from 2,223,680 the previous year.
- 2.09 million patients, slightly up from last year’s 2.08 million, but quite a drop-off from the 2.4 million reported five years ago.
Today, dangerous abortion pills distributed through the mail make it possible for the abortion industry’s tentacles to reach everywhere—even states that have enacted strong pro-life protections. Planned Parenthood, for its part, is providing mail-order abortions in 24 states, a direct result of policy decisions made in previous administrations.
Abortion pills have been available in the U.S. since 2000, but they weren’t always the go-to method. Things changed in 2016. President Barack Obama weakened safety protocols for abortion pills, including expanding the cutoff from seven to 10 weeks’ gestation and ending requirements for in-person post-abortion care.
In 2021, President Joe Biden used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to allow abortion pills to be obtained online via telehealth and shipped through the mail. In the graph above you can see the corresponding rise in abortions in 2016 and 2021 thanks to those reckless policies. Planned Parenthood for its part reported a 31% increase in telehealth appointments in just one year. Abortion pills are a key reason.
Planned Parenthood’s annual report shows it continues to also be a leader in the trans industrial complex, while burying its gender services in an “other” category. The organization’s public reporting first mentioned these offerings in 2015-2016. At the time, there were 8,153 procedures in that category. In the latest report, that number ballooned to 50,411, and Planned Parenthood now brags that it’s “the second-largest provider of hormone therapy” in the U.S.
Different accounting mechanisms, or perhaps Planned Parenthood’s involvement administering COVID-19 vaccinations, may account for the dramatic spike in 2021. But there’s no way to know from the annual report, because Planned Parenthood has never provided a specific breakdown.
Last summer, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Among other things, it defunded abortion providers like Planned Parenthood of their Medicaid reimbursements for one year (Medicaid makes up the bulk of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding). That defund provision kicked in July 2025. This year’s Planned Parenthood report covers the financial year ending June 30, 2025. We’ll have to wait for next year’s annual report to see how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affected Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.
But here’s what we know about Planned Parenthood’s finances right before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
In the financial data section, Planned Parenthood reported:
- $2.496 billion in net assets, slightly down from $2.522 billion the previous year.
- $832 million in government funding, up from $792.2 million the previous year.
- More than $2 billion in total revenue, almost equal to the previous year.
- $728.2 million in private contributions and bequests, up from $684.1 million the previous year.
If Congress pursues another budget reconciliation bill, it must apply the defund provision to the full 10-year timeframe that other provisions are subject to. Otherwise, Planned Parenthood will start receiving Medicaid reimbursements again on July 4, 2026.
What a horrible way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
President Donald Trump, for his part, can reinstate the Protect Life Rule for Title X family planning funds. During his first term, this regulation enforced physical and financial separation of federal family planning grants from any recipient’s abortion activity. Rather than comply with the rule, Planned Parenthood walked away from $60 million in family planning grants. It appears the Department of Health and Human Services is on its way to restoring this commonsense requirement.
More than 400,000 boys and girls lost their life thanks to Planned Parenthood last year, with many of their mothers harmed in the process too. A pro-life Congress and presidential administration should support real women’s health care, not force the American people to subsidize the abortion industry and make 2026 another record-breaking year for Planned Parenthood.

Where is the outrage over the Master butcher, PETA was once outraged when unborn lambs were used in fur industry , no outrage here, Where are all the celebrities concerned about baby seals, that pathetic photograph of Paul McCartney and his then wife. We are killing our own and no one seems to be concerned about the horror of it, how is that different from Dachau , this is a mass murder and it is preventable Should not Planned parenthood be about that?
America’s President, Ronald Reagan, said regarding abortion that he found it ironic that all those that are pro-abortion were ALREADY BORN.
I might be for abortion IF it would be RETROACTIVE. THE FIRST ONES TO BE ABORTED WOULD BE THE PRO-ABORTIONISTS.
So many breast cancer screenings, over 331 thousand, and NOT one mention of these screenings are mammograms. That’s right!!, not one mammogram done. Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms as I’ve repeatedly called and asked them which offices do the mammograms. In fact, there was reports of free mammograms years ago, and when I called, I was told no Planned Parenthood clinic does free mammograms. So, I guess all these over 331 thousand are nothing but the “touchy and feely” exams, arms over the head, on the breasts.
I am just sickened by the evil that is allowed to take place! Why are we paying for the destruction of innocent babies and our future? Just despicable!!!
It is obvious that there are women using abortion as their means of birth control. They are the true murderers and it makes me sick!! There are so many forms of birth control out there that are nearly 100% effective and in this country, birth control must be covered by insurance and you can get it free from Planned Parenthood as well. If these women are too damned lazy to get free birth control, they need to be practicing keeping their knees together!! That is the ultimate birth control.
Defund immediately!
Text should read “…with Rousel-Uclaf being one of its components.”. Autocorrect mischief.
A further note: When Rousel-Uclaf, the French pharmaceutical company, gave the rights to RU-486 to the (anti)Population Counciil.in the ’80s, it was revealed that the company was an offshoot of IG Farbin, the German.company which had developed Zyclon B, the poison gas user to kill Jews in the concentration camps during WWII. After the War the company was broken up with rouse luck at ewing one of the components.
Each abortion not only destroys the child and harms his mother but it also destroys his progeny to the last generation. There is no way to.measure this horrific “ripple effect”, but I bet.that fact makes the (anti)Population Council’s mpuths water!
Stop talking about it and get it DONE!!
what I would like to see a breakdown of abortions by race. In the past there was a higher abortion rate for black babies considering black population in US about 13%.
I’m all for un-funding Planned parenthood AND ANY operating organization that does not have anything to do with the operation of our government. See: notyourstogive.pdf ! However, the government has no business deciding what people should or should not be doing. “Congress and presidential administration should support real women’s health care, not force the American people to subsidize the abortion industry” Roe V wade was un constitutional as would any abortion law be, pro or con.
Anti Abortion people never seem to be able to discern when a woman loses her rights. Anti-abortion people seem to think it is freedom to allow a judge to make a determination if someone has a dead fetus or a fetus with significant spina bifida or any other reason women one might need an abortion. They contend that there can be exceptions. If a law needs an exception it is NOT a good law. Exceptions create confusion.
Tell me again WHY those people hate babies so much?
