Key Takeaways:
- Planned Parenthood’s annual report for 2023-24 (the annual report is always behind in reporting numbers) came out recently, and once again, they committed a record high number of abortions: 434,450.
- The number of abortions is up 34% over the past ten years.
- While the number of abortions has increased, the number of patients seen barely registered an increase.
- For former abortion workers, Planned Parenthood’s numbers are no surprise. Abortion is how the organization makes money.
- Per usual, cancer screenings and prevention services have dropped by 43% since 2014, with breast cancer screenings falling 55% and pap tests declining 38%.
Planned Parenthood just released its latest annual report, and the numbers are staggering.
In 2023–24, Planned Parenthood performed 434,450 abortions – a record high, up 8% from the previous year and 34% higher than a decade ago. While politicians debate funding and Planned Parenthood sends out fundraising emails warning of its imminent collapse, what goes on behind closed doors tells a different story.
“Planned Parenthood is not a healthcare organization, and it is not in crisis,” said Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director and founder and CEO of And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries. Planned Parenthood’s bread and butter is abortion, which is exactly what the report shows. In fact, it shows it every year. Taxpayer dollars, other funding, and abortions increase while cancer screenings, pap smears, and other prevention services are in a freefall.”
People Aren’t Flocking to Planned Parenthood
Planned Parenthood’s own reports show that it is not reaching significantly more women. In 2023-24, the patient count barely moved, going from 2.08 million to just 2.09 million. It is performing significantly more abortions on roughly the same population.
“That is not the signature of a safety-net health provider; it’s the signature of an organization laser-focused on abortion,” said Johnson.
While abortions climbed, the actual healthcare that the nonprofit does, such as cancer screenings and prevention services, has dropped by 43% since 2014, with breast cancer screenings falling 55% and pap tests declining 38%. These are the services Planned Parenthood uses to justify its exorbitant taxpayer funding and the ones its defenders invoke every time defunding is discussed, yet these services are quietly disappearing every year. Miscarriage care has also declined sharply. What remains, and what grows, is abortion.
Telehealth Abortions Continue to Increase
Meanwhile, telehealth appointments more than doubled, rising from about 142,000 to over 320,000, reflecting a rapid pivot toward remote, medication-based abortion. They are reaching into homes, into phones, into mailboxes. The clinic walls are coming down, not because the organization is weakening but because it no longer needs them to end lives.
Medication abortions now account for well over 60% of all abortions done in the United States. They are easy to obtain but come with zero oversight and many broken hearts, broken bodies, and mental health challenges. LittlePillsThatKill is a great resource for reading these stories firsthand.
Planned Parenthood’s Assets are Over $3 Billion
Here is what makes this especially galling: Planned Parenthood’s total assets sit at approximately $3.12 billion, with donor revenue now accounting for roughly 91% of national revenue, up from 88% the previous year. The crisis messaging fills the inboxes and empties the wallets of donors who believe the lie that Planned Parenthood is on the verge of shutting its doors. It isn’t.
The tension between the narrative of collapse and the reality of financial stability is striking. Planned Parenthood warns of imminent closures while its own numbers reflect consolidation and growth.
The Charlotte Lozier Institute has found that over the past decade, abortions, government funding, and total revenue all soared, even as the number of clients served declined, and total services stagnated.
“And Then There Were None has helped over 750 abortion workers leave their jobs and find new, life-affirming work as well as healing. All of us know the truth firsthand: that each abortion was a human life,” said Johnson. “Several of us former abortion workers had to put together pieces of dead babies after each abortion to make sure all the parts were there and out of the mother to prevent infection. The nightmares many of us still deal with because of that job are real and tragic.”
Do you work in an abortion clinic?
“We know what it’s like to convince women that abortion is their best option and to sit with women in the recovery room while they come to the realization of what they’ve done. We know what it’s like to see things no human should ever see. If you work in the abortion industry, there’s a way out. We can help you.
No one grows up wanting to work in an abortion clinic. Most go in thinking they are helping women. And when the reality of what they are part of sets in, many desperately want out but feel trapped.
