The federal government granted nearly $700 million to Planned Parenthood during an annual period where the organization performed almost 400,000 abortions.
According to its “Above and Beyond” Annual Report, during its 2022-2023 year, ending June 30, 2023, Planned Parenthood received $699.3 million in government grants and ‘health services’ reimbursements. From 2022 to 2023, the organization performed 392,715 abortions, an increase over the 392,715 abortions it performed between 2021 and 2022.
The rise in abortions happened in conjunction with a decline in all other major services provided by the clinic.
The report also noted that “Demand at Planned Parenthood health centers in states where abortion is protected has soared by up to 700%,” suggesting that the organization is profiting from ‘abortion tourism’ as other states take measures to protect life following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Within 2023, over two dozen Planned Parenthood affiliates assisted more than 33,000 women in receiving abortions through financial and transportation assistance.
“Planned Parenthood’s annual report illustrates their priorities,” said Tessa Longbons Cox, senior researcher at Charlotte Lozier Institute. “Ultimately, they are an abortion business. It’s no surprise that even as total patients and services fell from the previous year, profits soared and Planned Parenthood performed more abortions than ever.”
Last month, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sued Planned Parenthood for “trafficking minors” across state lines to get abortions without parental consent. The controversial organization was also hit with fresh allegations that it sold body parts of aborted babies for profit.
