Planned Parenthood’s Financials

• In its 2019-20 annual report, Planned Parenthood reported $1.6 billion in income[2] and over $2.0 billion in net assets[3] — an increase from the previous report.
  • $510 million came from private contributions, down 14% from the previous report.[4]
  • Taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements hit $618.1 million, or almost $1.7 million per day[5]– an annual increase of $1.3 million from the previous year to make up 38% of Planned Parenthood’s overall revenue.[6]
  • Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding has increased by nearly 27% since 2010.[7]
  • However, taxpayer funding is reported by Planned Parenthood’s affiliates, whose information lags behind the national office and covers fiscal years ending in 2019.[8] In mid-2019, Planned Parenthood chose to leave the taxpayer-funded Title X program rather than stop performing abortions,[9] so taxpayer funding may be lower in next year’s report.
  • Planned Parenthood’s excess of total revenue over total expenses is $69.7 million.[10] Last year Planned Parenthood reported an excess of total revenue over total expenses of $110.5 million.[11]

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 2019-20 report contains information on services provided in 2018-2019.
• Planned Parenthood performed 354,871 abortions[12] in 2018-19 – an increase of nearly 9,200 from the previous year – and over 3.3 million abortions[13] over the past 10 reports.
• The number of patients (2.4 million)[14] remained constant from the previous report, while the number of abortions increased.
• In 2018-19, abortions made up 96.4% of Planned Parenthood’s pregnancy resolution services, while prenatal services, miscarriage care, and adoption referrals accounted for only 2.3% (8,626), 0.6% (2,110) and 0.7% (2,667), respectively.[15]
• For every adoption referral in 2018-19, Planned Parenthood performed 133 abortions.[16] Over the past 10 annual reports, the ratio was approximately 129 abortions for every adoption referral.[17]
• According to data from Planned Parenthood’s own annual reports[18], since 2010:

• • Total services are down 5.7%.
  • With changing practice guidelines,[19] total cancer screening and prevention services have dropped by 63%, including declines of 64% for breast exams and almost 65% for pap tests.
  • Prenatal services are down 79% from their peak in 2009.
  • Contraceptive services are down 30%.
  • Unique patients have dropped by 600,000 – a 20% decline.
