KEY TAKEAWAYS
Planned Parenthood’s annual report reveals that the organization will continue prioritizing a******n as other services decline.
Planned Parenthood’s reported private contributions fell to $591.3 million in 2019 from $630 million in 2018.
A******n is Planned Parenthood’s priority, and Americans should not provide the organization with more than a half-billion dollars every year.

It’s been a turbulent last two years at Planned Parenthood, with a leadership shakeup involving the ouster of Dr. Leana Wen as president, and the installment of Alexis McGill Johnson as acting president.
But that upheaval didn’t stop Planned Parenthood from having a banner year in providing a******n on demand, as its new report shows.
The report, which was released quietly this week, states that Planned Parenthood affiliates performed 345,672 a******ns from Oct. 1, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018—the highest number of a******ns ever reported in a single year.
Planned Parenthood saw about 2.4 million patients during that time—about the same as last year but down from 3 million as recently as 10 years ago. Meanwhile, the other services Planned Parenthood affiliates offer declined in use.
During this time period, there were:
520,710 breast exams and pap tests, down from 570,444 in the previous year’s report.
566,186 cancer screenings and prevention procedures, down from 614,361.
213,042 well-woman exams, down from 216,722.
2,556,413 provisions of birth control information and services, down from 2,620,867.
The increased emphasis on a******n has proven lucrative. In the year that Wen was in charge, Planned Parenthood reported:
Almost $2 billion in net assets, up from $1.9 billion in 2018 before Wen took over.
$616.8 million in taxpayer funding, up from $563.8 million in 2018.
$1.6 billion in total revenue, similar to 2018.
Planned Parenthood removed the section from previous reports specifying excess of revenue over expenses, but based off the total reported revenue and expenses, excess revenue in 2019 was approximately $110 million—down from $245 million in 2018 and similar to the $98.5 million reported in 2017.
The increases came from fees for services, not donations. Planned Parenthood’s reported private contributions fell to $591.3 million in 2019 from $630 million in 2018. Likewise, the number of unique individual contributors fell from 1.5 million in 2018 to 1.1 million in 2019.
As the Susan B. Anthony List notes, a******ns make up 95% of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy resolutions services, and for every adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performed nearly 81 a******ns during the 2018-2019 reporting year.
Once again, Planned Parenthood’s annual report reveals that the organization will continue prioritizing a******n as other services decline—it is its most profitable line of business.
Therefore, we shouldn’t have been surprised last summer when Planned Parenthood announced it would forgo millions of dollars in federal funding rather than comply with the Trump administration’s new regulations that strengthen the rules in the federal government’s family planning program against funding programs that consider a******n a method of family planning.
Planned Parenthood was unwilling to physically and financially separate its a******n activity from Title X-supported activity, so it stopped participating in the program altogether.
A******n is Planned Parenthood’s priority, and Americans should not provide the organization with more than a half-billion dollars every year. Instead, policymakers should direct those funds to the thousands of centers that provide health care to women without entangling those services with a******n on demand.
Let’s talk about an individuals right! If she has the right to k**l her baby, simply because it’s inconvenient, why stop there! Why not k**l the man that got her pregnant? It’s absolutely amazing how hypocritical you liberals are! You chastised conservatives for not wearing masks and not supposedly respecting other’s lives, while supporting the murder of 345,672 babies! How many of those babies were sacrificed because the woman wasn’t responsible enough to NOT get pregnant! How many of these women have had more than one a******n? I can tell you, many..........birth control at it’s best!👿! How many times has it been proven that conservatives/Republicans support more charities than liberals.....so don’t tell me that liberals are more caring and giving than conservatives! More F**E, HYPOCRITICAL statements continually from the left! You can’t claim that women have an individual right to abort her precious baby and then claim that we don’t have an individual right not to wear a mask! An a******n will result in a death, not wearing a mask does not guarantee a person to get or spread the v***s, even then the chances of it resulting in death is very small for the majority! IMO!
