Planned Parenthood said abortion is “gender-affirming care” Monday in a social media post declaring that “reproductive freedom means every person gets to decide what’s right for their own body. No exceptions.”
The abortion giant made the claim less than one month after Planned Parenthood’s federal funding resumed and as the organization has increasingly cashed in on expanding transgender procedures for minors.
“Gender-affirming” services offered by Planned Parenthood include estrogen for males, testosterone for females, puberty blockers, and transgender surgery referrals. These services have spiked in recent years across the country.
A recent report from Concerned Women for America Legislative Action found a 40% increase in so-called “gender-affirming care” services at 14 of Planned Parenthood’s biggest affiliates from 2024 to 2025.
Annual reports showed that Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, and Kentucky reported 24,295 “gender-affirming care” services in 2025, up from 13,432 in 2024. Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio reported 8,644 transgender services in 2025, up from 6,206 in 2024.
At Planned Parenthood’s Pasadena affiliate, the number of transgender-related visits increased from 1,544 in 2024 to 2,346 in 2025. In its annual report, the group said that it supported legislation in California “extending statewide protections for gender-affirming care to people of all ages.”
At the same time, Planned Parenthood recorded 434,450 abortions in fiscal year 2025, up 8% from the previous year and 34% since 2014. That comes as Planned Parenthood has pushed for more abortions via pill.
The post came less than a month after Planned Parenthood regained the ability to bill Medicaid for non-abortion services following the expiration of provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill. The defunding contributed to the closure of roughly 50 Planned Parenthood facilities. Although funding resumed, several smaller affiliates have continued closing clinics.
Planned Parenthood of Michigan recently said that it was closing down three facilities in the state because of federal government cuts. It reported a $4.2 million decline in procedure reimbursements in fiscal year 2025.
“The return of Medicaid reimbursement is welcome news for [Planned Parenthood Michigan] patients, and the organization will resume billing Medicaid in the coming days,” the organization said. “However, the restoration of billing does not recover nearly a year of lost revenue or eliminate ongoing threats to safety-net health care funding.”
Pro-life activists have continued to pressure Congress to get another provision passed to defund Planned Parenthood into the next funding package.
