<p class="p1">If you weren’t looking for it, you would have missed it. Planned Parenthood quietly released its 2024-2025 Annual Report on April 3, Good Friday. Not a day for breaking news stories — unless, that is, you want the story to be buried.</p>
<p class="p1">Why isn’t Planned Parenthood “shouting their abortions”? Perhaps because the numbers undercut their official narrative: Planned Parenthood terminated 434,450 pregnancies in 2024 — an average of 1,190 unborn babies killed every day — an all-time high for the organization, and up 8% from the previous year. Planned Parenthood also reported receiving a jaw-dropping $832 million in federal tax dollars via Medicaid reimbursements and grants in fiscal year 2024, all while general services (i.e., services other than abortion) have plummeted.</p>
<p class="p1">The report notes that roughly 40 clinics have closed nationwide in the past year. Yet those closures appear to represent a change in strategy for the organization, and a new opportunity to encourage desperate and frightened young women to terminate their pregnancies. Planned Parenthood states that, as “restrictions force patients to take on increased costs and barriers,” it is “determined to find new paths to get care to people who need it,” highlighting its Virtual Health Centers and Planned Parenthood Direct telehealth platform.</p>
<p class="p1">By pouring resources into telehealth, Planned Parenthood gains unfettered access to peddle the abortion drug without any physician oversight, screening, or in-person care for women. In 2024-2025, Planned Parenthood provided abortion pills through telemedicine in 24 states over 320,390 telehealth appointments, leaving little doubt that telehealth is the corporation’s next frontier and cash cow. The abortion drug is presently responsible for more than two-thirds of abortions in the U.S.</p>
<p class="p1">In other words, Planned Parenthood wants to be able to provide women with abortion access anywhere, anytime, with little more than a Zoom-style Q&amp;A and a chat with Planned Parenthood’s AI chatbot, “Roo.”</p>
<p class="p1">Just as the abortion drug is Planned Parenthood’s newest frontier, so is the mail-order abortion crisis Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) highest priority. Mail-order abortion via telehealth appointments is the antithesis of “care”—with little to no physician oversight, no ultrasound, and no screening for ectopic pregnancy (which can be fatal combined with the abortion drug), mail-order abortion leaves women alone to self-manage painful abortions in their own bathrooms.</p>
<p class="p1">Planned Parenthood claims that the abortion drug is “safer than Tylenol.” That is a bald-faced lie. The Food and Drug Administration’s own black box label for the drug warns that it may send one in 25 women to the emergency room with hemorrhaging, sepsis, incomplete abortion, or other life-threatening complications. Beyond that, 50 tons of unborn babies’ remains and chemical residues from chemical abortions are flushed into American waterways every year. We are all forced to drink the unfiltered chemical residue from drug-induced abortions.</p>
<p>CWA has endorsed a number of proposals to end the mail-order abortion crisis inaugurated by Planned Parenthood. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) recently introduced a bill to command the abortion drug Mifepristone’s approved application to be withdrawn for the purposes of terminating a pregnancy from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, a necessary step to confront the dangerous drug. In the House of Representatives, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) introduced the <i>Clean Water for All Life Act</i>, which will require the abortion drug to be dispensed with a medical waste catch kit to ensure that this drug no longer pollutes water.</p>
<p class="p2">Ultimately, with U.S. fertility rates hitting a <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/vsrr043.pdf"><span class="s1">new low</span></a> in 2025, women and families need to be supported when it comes to having children. Our communities and churches must wrap their arms around women facing unplanned pregnancies, and the government would be better suited to support life-affirming pregnancy resource centers and federally qualified health centers that outnumber Planned Parenthoods around 43 to one. Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee strongly supports Rep. Diana Harshbarger’s (R-TN) <a href="https://harshbarger.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-harshbarger-reintroduces-legislation-support-women-and-encourage"><span class="s1">Pregnancy.Gov Act</span></a> which, if passed, would do just that by establishing an easy-to-use online database for women in need of local prenatal or postnatal services, counseling, adoption resources, nutrition coaching, abuse relief and recovery, addiction services, mental health services, and an array of life-affirming care.</p>
<p class="p1">With abortions and federal funding at an all-time reported high in 2024-2025, it is clear that Planned Parenthood, brick-and-mortar or telehealth, doesn’t deserve a single penny from American taxpayers.</p>
