Fact Sheet: Planned Parenthood’s 2021-22 Annual Report

Abortions and Non-Abortion Services: Change from Last Year and Long-Term Trends

• Planned Parenthood’s service data lags behind the rest of the information in the report – the 2021-22 report contains information on services provided in 2020-2021.[1]

• Planned Parenthood performed 374,155 abortions[2] in 2020-21 – down a little over 9,300 from the previous year, but over 3.4 million abortions[3] over the past 10 reports.

• The number of patients (2.13 million)[4] decreased by approximately 30,000 patients from the previous year.

• In 2020-21, abortions made up 97.2% of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy resolution services, while prenatal services, miscarriage care, and adoption referrals accounted for only 1.6% (6,244), 0.7% (2,653) and 0.5% (1,803), respectively.[5]

• For every adoption referral in 2020-21, Planned Parenthood performed 208 abortions.[6] Over the past 10 annual reports, the ratio was approximately 130 abortions for every one adoption referral.[7]

• According to data from Planned Parenthood’s own annual reports[8], since 2010:

• • Total services are down 17.1%.
  • With changing practice guidelines,[9] total cancer screening and prevention services have dropped by 71%, including declines of 74% for breast exams and 70% for pap tests.
  • Prenatal services are down 85% from their peak in 2009.
  • Contraceptive services are down 36%.

Planned Parenthood’s Financials

• In its 2021-22 annual report, Planned Parenthood reported $1.9 billion in income[10] and over $2.3 billion in net assets[11] — an increase from the previous report.

• • $694.9 million came from private contributions, up 20% from the previous report.[12]
  • Taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements hit $670.4 million, or almost $1.9 million per day[13]– an annual increase of $1 million from the previous year to make up 35% of Planned Parenthood’s overall revenue.[14]
  • Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding has increased by nearly 37.5% since 2010.[15]
  • However, taxpayer funding is reported by Planned Parenthood’s affiliates, whose information lags behind the national office and covers fiscal years ending in 2021.[16]
  • Planned Parenthood’s excess of total revenue over total expenses is $204.7 million.[17] Last year Planned Parenthood reported an excess of total revenue over total expenses of $133.7 million.[18]
