Clarification for those who will not have time to read the document. Though the service and financial data from the 2024-2025 Planned Parenthood Annual Report spends a fair amount of time complaining about efforts of the Trump administration to shut them down, data from the 2024-2025 Planned Parenthood Annual Report actually covers only the last half of 2024 and the first half of 2025 before Congress actually defunded the group.
As such, it gives a better read on the impact of President Joe Biden’s abortion-friendly policies than the effectiveness of more recent pro-life efforts to rein in the abortion behemoth.
And the Biden administration’s impact was enormous…and lingers.

Money, money, money
Planned Parenthood set an all-time record for revenues – more than $2.14 billion – and hit an all-time high in the number of abortions the group performed – 434,350. If recent estimates by the Guttmacher Institute are correct, that makes them responsible for nearly 39% of all the abortions performed in the U.S. in 2024.
The Biden years were very lucrative for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. In fiscal 2025 (covering July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025), Planned Parenthood took in $832 million in “Government health Services Reimbursements & Grants,” easily a record haul in government funds. This includes not only federal dollars from Title X family planning programs but also money from abortion-friendly states.
At $380.6 million, the money taken in from regular customers for “Non-Government Health Services Revenue” pales by comparison. Nothing more clearly illustrates just how much the organization has become dependent on government funding.
Private giving did not reach the record it did in 2022, the year that Roe fell, but came in for the second highest total ever, at $728.2 million. The point, made plain in the text of the Annual Report, is that Planned Parenthood is still using state abortion limits as a rationale for raising money for women traveling to other states for abortion.
In “Care Continues,” Planned Parenthood notes that the group’s “patient navigators and support staff have helped more than 171,000 people get abortion care since the Dobbs decision — helping with logistical and travel support, as well as patient assistance funds.” In particular, they share that
“During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood affiliates disbursed $3.7 million to more than 12,200 patients to help them overcome barriers to abortion care — providing funding for transportation, lodging, meals, and dependent care while traveling to appointments.”
As might be expected, most of the group’s money was spent on “Medical Services” ($1.3756 billion), but substantial amounts also went to various forms on lobbying. That included $70 million for “Sex Education”; $61.2 million for “Public Policy”; $13.2 to “Engage Communities”; and $85 million for “Advocacy.”
Another $184.8 million went for “Health Care Support.” It is unclear what this covered and how much may have been related to defense or provision of abortion at Planned Parenthood facilities.
Though many of Planned Parenthood’s clinics have recently been beset by labor problems, it is clear that its work continues to be financially rewarding for those in upper level management. More than half a billion was allocated to “Management & General” ($388.4 million) and “Fundraising” ($144.3 million).
Abortion Above All
Noticeably, Planned Parenthood cut back on several important health services, continuing a trend that goes back years, even while it received increases in government funding.
PPFA is now performing more than twice as many abortions as it did in 2000 (when it performed 197,070). To put Planned Parenthood’s new abortion record in perspective, consider that “reproductive health” is the only longstanding “service” where the organization has shown steady growth.
The “cancer screenings” the Planned Parenthood touts as one of its most critical offerings? After providing more than 2 million in 2004 and 2005, the group has seen these drop steadily, to the point that there were just 389,449 in 2024* This represents a drop of more than 80.6% for a service Planned Parenthood identifies as crucial to women’s health!
Likewise, breast exams (not mammograms – Planned Parenthood still does not provide those) also reached a new low of 162,336 for the 2024 service year, less than a quarter of the 882,961 it performed in its 2006 peak.
Contraceptive services – supposedly Planned Parenthood’s signature product – picked up just a little over last year’s. But at 2,268,991 it represents only about 57% of what it was at its high-water mark of 3,989,474 in 2006.
Prenatal services, not surprisingly, continue to be rare at Planned Parenthood. While they bumped up slightly over last year, at 7,685 prenatal services were still dwarfed by abortion by more than a 56 to one margin.
The group handled only 3,038 adoption referrals in 2024. This indicates not only how rare the service is at Planned Parenthood but also makes clear once again that the organization really doesn’t practically offer pregnant women “choices” other than abortion.
The Devil in the Details
While the numbers from the Annual Report provide some hard evidence about priorities and trends at Planned Parenthood, the text tells us a bit about how they got there and what it is they are doing to further expand their deadly agenda.
While pro-lifers have noted that scores of the group’s clinics have closed in the last several years (see this NRL fact sheet), Planned Parenthood does not offer an updated number of operational facilities. They said only that “Up to 200 Planned Parenthood health centers are at risk of closure” and warned that “Cancers will go undetected and STIs will go untreated.” They insisted that people will be “forced to forgo care.” (See above as to Planned Parenthood’s diminishing commitment to these services.)
They do, however, emphasize their investment in “virtual centers” offering chemical abortions and other services via “telehealth.”
The Annual Report indicates that there were 320,390 telehealth appointments in this report and say that patients booked more than 62,000 appointments through virtual health centers in 2025. In 24 states, Planned Parenthood said its affiliates provided “medication abortion” or chemical abortion through telemedicine.
Research by affiliates included studies on contraception, naturally, but also topics like telehealth abortion care and the impact of various abortion policies
Planned Parenthood touts its heavy emphasis on litigation. There are involved in “more than 30 open cases” in 15 states and in at least two federal cases, “protecting care for all.” What this entails is made clearer by the accompanying text.
The Annual Report concedes that it was unsuccessful in the Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic case before the Supreme Court that challenged South Carolina’s efforts to keep abortion groups from receiving state Medicaid funds. But Planned Parenthood tries to argue that “In two-thirds of these cases, harmful policies have been blocked or warded off, meaning more people can get the care they need.”
They provide little context for it, and don’t really explain how abortion is involved, but they celebrate how they educated and mobilized more than 20 million to fight against the Trump administration and Congress’s attempt to “shut down Planned Parenthood and block people from getting care.”
As part of this campaign, they mentioned 107,000 calls and 255,000 messages to members of Congress and got 71,000 to sign their “People’s Brief” petition. For good measure, they talked about a full-page ad placed in the New York Times featuring “leading cultural changemakers.”
Who are these “leading cultural changemakers?” They cite movie stars and musicians like Harry Styles, Pedro Pascal, Megan Thee Stallion, Phoebe Cates, and Scarlett Johansson who signed on supporting “the essential care Planned Parenthood health centers provide.”
While Planned Parenthood touts itself as a broad health care organization, their report makes clear that when they declare “Care continues,” as their most recent theme, they don’t mean expanding their contraceptive or cancer screenings or even their prenatal offerings. Those continue to fall or languish every year.
The “care” they clearly mean is ABORTION. They make their money and stake their reputation off their lucrative abortion enterprise, which they promote and perform more every year.
* Planned Parenthood’s service figures generally run from October 1 of the prior year to September 30 of first year of the report, so 10/1/23 to 9./30/24 for this report; all this then was during the Biden Administration.
