New Planned Parenthood Report Has a Disturbing Takeaway
The data is in, and the conclusion is depressing: Planned Parenthood killed 434,450 babies in 2024, according to a new report released this week.
That totals up to an impressive kill-to-patient ratio: 434,450 murders and 2.09 million patients “treated.”
This of course shows that abortions are all Planned Parenthood cares about. The additional services they render, like STD testing and pap smears, are just window dressing for their systematic murder machine.
This year’s numbers showed that reality more than ever. Even as abortions increased year over year by 8 percent, cancer screenings fell by 8.6 percent, pap smears decreased by 2.5 percent, and preventative care visits fell by 3.2 percent.
Some of the other numbers Planned Parenthood gave show how little they accomplish that is actually beneficial. They only provided miscarriage care 2,852 times in the whole year, and they only provided prenatal services 7,685 times. Of course, it’s no wonder mothers don’t want their babies to receive prenatal care at a place that exists to execute children.
This data does not yet show the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act’s defunding of Planned Parenthood via its restriction of federal Medicaid payments to abortion providers. Next year, we’ll see how effective that tactic was in stymying the number of abortions. There are some signs that the defunding has had an impact, as 50 Planned Parenthood clinics have closed since that law was passed, and Planned Parenthood said in its latest report that an additional 200 “health centers” — read: killing centers — are at risk of closure due to the law. President Donald Trump’s new budget proposal seeks to leave that defunding mechanism in place, offering hope that more Planned Parenthood clinics will indeed close.
However, given the increasing degree to which abortion pills are purchased online, including from overseas “pharmacies” and domestic criminal abortion providers, it remains less clear that closing Planned Parenthood clinics will actually cause a substantial decrease in the number of abortions in the United States. Causing the numbers to truly fall will require actually tackling the criminal trafficking of abortion pills, which the Trump administration has so far been reticent to do.

The sad conclusion from this new Planned Parenthood report is that conservatives’ yearned-for reversal of Roe v. Wade has not brought about even a small decrease in the number of children slaughtered in abortions. In fact, abortions have increased markedly, despite the fact that 20 states now have laws that limit abortions before viability in some way. (Thirteen states have a total ban on abortions, while five additional states ban abortions after six weeks’ gestation, around when the baby has a heartbeat.)
This is because women travel out of state to obtain abortions — Planned Parenthood reported spending $3.7 million to “help” women with these travel expenses — as well as the fact that abortions can easily be obtained online. We can’t know, of course, the number of abortion pills that are illegally purchased online, but they are surely making the picture much worse than this 8 percent year-over-year increase presents. Planned Parenthood performs about 39 percent of abortions in the U.S., but, again, it’s hard to know the true number because of the high number of illegal abortions.
Other data has borne out Planned Parenthood’s claim that abortions are increasing post-Dobbs. The Guttmacher Institute said last month that an estimated 1,126,000 abortions were performed by U.S. clinicians in 2025, which it said was largely unchanged from 2024. This represented a 21 percent increase in abortions since 2020, the previous year for which the organization had data. Unfortunately, this number failed to capture the many abortions that take place via foreign online pharmacies and criminal domestic providers.
Defunding Planned Parenthood is not going to stop abortions in the U.S., and it is likely to have only a marginal impact on decreasing them. Also, federal defunding can only do so much. Democratic states are so dedicated to aborting babies that the government grants Planned Parenthood received in 2025 were actually higher than in 2024. According to the new report, Planned Parenthood received $832 million in government grants in fiscal year 2025, a 5 percent increase over 2024. (RELATED: Confederate Liberals)
Only tactics like banning the abortion pill, banning abortions via telehealth, and going after foreign pharmacies and domestic clinicians illegally providing abortions would truly make an impact amid this abject disaster that we face: Abortions increasing after the fall of Roe v. Wade.
