Report: Taxpayer Funding for Planned Parenthood Surged over Last Decade"Despite messaging to the contrary, Planned Parenthood prioritizes abortion above all else. Any form of government money to Planned Parenthood only serves to support its advocacy and provision of abortion." -from the Lozier Institute report
The report analyzed all public funds furnished to the abortion business by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the controversial COVID-era Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). "For 2019-2021, HHS 'obligated' to Planned Parenthood $1.535 billion through grants or cooperative agreements from Medicaid/CHIP and $3.28 million from Medicare," writes Jeanneane Maxon, a Dallas-based nonprofit lawyer and former vice president of external affairs for Americans United for Life. "Its funding from 2016-2018 for these programs totaled $1,293.12 million (or $1.293 billion), according to a 2020 GAO report." "The total amount of all direct funding to Planned Parenthood by any HHS grant program between 2022-2024 was $81.24 million," the report says. In all, 44% of all Title X family planning grant recipients fund at least one Planned Parenthood location in US states, not including territories. "From 2019-2024, Planned Parenthood was awarded around $66 million of direct funding through Title X." If anything, the report understates the magnitude of the abortion giant's government funding. The Lozier Institute report, which came out the same day as Planned Parenthood's 2024 annual report, does not include the most recent year's figures. Planned Parenthood committed 402,230 abortions and received $792.2 million in taxpayer funding in 2024, according to its most recent annual report. "Planned Parenthood has become a financial juggernaut, propped up by government funding, while prioritizing abortion over quality care to women," said Maxon in a statement received by The Washington Stand. "It's deeply troubling that an organization with a documented history of substandard 'services' continues to receive public trust and funding. We need to support real health care alternatives that respect life and dignity." Such burgeoning revenue may explain why Planned Parenthood's budget exploded by $400 million in just three years, from $1.641 billion in the 2019-2020 fiscal year to $2.054 billion in 2022-2023. This does not include the estimated $227,774,700 Planned Parenthood received by carrying out abortions during that 10-year time period. In its 2023 annual report, Planned Parenthood blasphemously described its profit-driven quest to expand abortion above all in Scriptural language. "For Planned Parenthood health center staff," the year after the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision "was a year of moving mountains: finding appointments in other states and the resources to get patients there, building as much capacity as possible for abortion appointments." (Emphasis added) "Despite messaging to the contrary, Planned Parenthood prioritizes abortion above all else," the Lozier Institute report concludes. "Any form of government money to Planned Parenthood only serves to support its advocacy and provision of abortion."
