Planned Parenthood is Killing 1,100 Babies Every Day. Defund It Now
Despite the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey on June 24, 2022, Planned Parenthood aborted more unborn children during the 2023-2024 fiscal year than the previous year and brought in a $100 million increase in taxpayer funding.
In the recently released 2023-2024 fiscal year annual report titled, “A Force for Hope,” Planned Parenthood performed 402,230 abortions during that time. That is an increase of nearly 10,000 abortions over the previous year (392,715).
The report also showed Planned Parenthood received about $792.2 million in “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants” versus $699.3 million from the previous year. U.S. taxpayers are

Planned Parenthood’s largest financial contributor by supplying 39 percent of the organization’s $2 billion in revenue.
The nation’s largest abortion business, which commits over 1,100 abortions per day, presents killing unborn children and harming women as “inspiring hope.” The annual report begins, “Every time a patient walks through the doors of a Planned Parenthood health center, it is an act of hope — hope that they’ll get the care they need, that their decisions about their own bodies will be honored, that they’ll be truly seen. Every time a young person searches online for health information, their hope is that someone, somewhere has unbiased, real answers. Every time someone takes a birth control pill, or gets their IUD taken out, or goes with their partner for STI testing, they are filled with hope that the future they plan is possible.”
Twelve states now have banned elective abortions, and six states passed restrictions at or before 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, Planned Parenthood reports how it “helped” more than 100,000 women seeking abortions in the past year, particularly those who traveled from pro-life states elsewhere. More than 12,500 women received on average $275 to go toward travel costs. That’s more than $3.4 million in direct funding for abortion travel.
Chemical abortions now account for at least 63 percent of all U.S. abortions, an increase from 53 percent in 2020. Contributing to that is a new telehealth platform that Planned Parenthood provides in 42 states and Washington, D.C., for many services, including abortion pills to women who do not have to see a doctor in person to be screened for complications.
The annual report also highlights the first birth control pill available in the U.S. without a prescription as well as updated education videos available to anyone on YouTube regarding chemical abortions.
Even though it is the largest abortion provider in America, Planned Parenthood’s annual report claims that abortion is only four percent of the organization’s “medical services” for the last fiscal year. However, Planned Parenthood arrives at this false statistic by dividing the number of children it aborted (402,230) for the year by the number of “services” the group provided (9.4 million). This means when a woman visits a Planned Parenthood facility to obtain an abortion, she is also given a pregnancy test, an STI test, a cancer screening and contraception. Therefore, the abortion procedure would be considered 20 percent of the “services” she received. Using this deceptive formula, the report manipulates the data to make it appear as if abortion is a tiny percent of its “services,” though a much higher percentage of actual patients who visit Planned Parenthood facilities are there, first and foremost, to obtain an abortion.
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “Planned Parenthood’s annual report reveals once again that its primary mission is making huge profit under the guise of ‘providing hope’ to women by killing their unborn babies. Abortion is not health care. It is human genocide for profit. We must continue to fight to protect these helpless children.”
