(Oregon Right to Life) — Planned Parenthood released its latest annual report on Monday, showing that its facilities performed about 40% of the nation’s estimated one million abortions last year. The news comes as Republican lawmakers work on a reconciliation budget bill with language that would eliminate federal taxpayer funding from the abortion giant.
Framing itself as a “force for hope,” Planned Parenthood’s 2023–2024 report showed that its abortion facilities performed 402,230 abortions between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023, up from 392,715 abortions the previous year. Abortions outnumbered prenatal care 57–1, and only 2,148 women were referred for adoptions.
“Rather than being ‘A Force for Hope,’ the nation’s largest abortion provider continues to perform abortions at an unprecedented rate, offering only a dead baby for a woman seeking help and hope,” National Right to Life president Carol Tobias said in a Monday statement.

The national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America also responded to the report, highlighting the high number of abortions performed compared to the small rate of other services provided by Planned Parenthood staff.
“For yet another year, pregnant women seeking help at Planned Parenthood are sold an abortion 97% of the time, while prenatal services, miscarriage care and adoption referrals make up a minuscule minority of the options they offer,” the group said in a press release.
They noted that the “report heightens the urgency to defund Big Abortion and stop forcing taxpayers to fund an industry that destroys unborn lives and preys on women and girls.”
During the period recorded in the report, Planned Parenthood brought in more than $2 billion in revenue, $792.2 million (39%) of which came from American taxpayers through federal grants and reimbursements. Pro-life leaders nationwide have been calling on the Trump Administration to scrutinize the ongoing federal funding of the abortion giant as they look to identify and eliminate government waste, fraud, and abuse, leading to increasingly urgent calls to defund Planned Parenthood entirely.
In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, the abortion franchise received $699.3 million in government funding, with federal grants and reimbursements from taxpayer dollars accounting for nearly 40% of all revenue, similar to the 2023–2024 year. While the federal Hyde Amendment prohibits the use of taxpayer money to pay for abortions, the abortion chain qualifies for the grants due to offering a small number of reproductive services or products, including STI testing and contraception, which it uses to secure clientele to direct toward abortion in the event of unsupported pregnancies.

“As community health centers outnumber Planned Parenthood locations 15 to one nationwide and offer far more comprehensive care, including for Medicaid patients, Americans have real choices and much better options,” SBA Pro-Life America argued in its Monday press statement.
The organization also expressed gratitude for the Republican lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives whose budget reconciliation bill draft would eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood following ongoing pressure from pro-life leaders and advocates.
In comments to LifeNews responding to the draft reconciliation bill, SBA Pro-Life America president Marjorie Dannenfelser argued that “[f]orcing Americans to fund the abortion industry is a gross abuse of our hard-earned tax dollars and it’s unconscionable how long it has gone on.”
“President Trump and Republicans included defunding in their 2017 reconciliation bill,” she said. “We have a historic opportunity to get the job done in 2025 and we look forward to a vote on the House floor.”
