Planned Parenthood released its 2024-2025 annual report over the Easter weekend. Every year, the publication provides a glimpse into Abortion Inc.’s medical and financial data. It was a record-breaking year for abortions. Taxpayer funding was at an all-time high. 

It’s been almost four years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned Roe v. Wade. You’ve probably seen the headlines about brick-and-mortar clinics closing or consolidating in recent years, but that is actually a long-term trend. Planned Parenthood operates nearly 600 clinics now, compared to 860 clinics 20 years ago.

There are certainly challenges to Planned Parenthood’s business model, but that hasn’t stopped efforts to promote abortion in every state. Since Roe was struck down, Planned Parenthood has helped 171,000 women travel get abortions, spending $3.7 million last year to assist 12,200 clients.

It’s worth noting that for all the Left’s talk about abortion as “reproductive care,” Planned Parenthood delivered zero babies in 2025 and performed 143 abortions for every adoption referral made last year.

 In the medical data section, Planned Parenthood reported:

• 434,450 abortions, an all-time high, up from last year’s 402,230 abortions.
• 331,417 breast cancer screenings and Pap tests, down from 364,594 the previous year.
• 125,422 preventive care visits, down from last year’s 129,594.
• 3,038 adoption referrals, up from 2,148 the previous year.
• 2,268,991 contraceptive services, down from 2,223,680 the previous year.
• 2.09 million patients, slightly up from last year’s 2.08 million, but quite a drop-off from the 2.4 million reported five years ago.

Today, dangerous abortion pills distributed through the mail make it possible for the abortion industry’s tentacles to reach everywhere—even states that have enacted strong pro-life protections. Planned Parenthood, for its part, is providing mail-order abortions in 24 states, a direct result of policy decisions made in previous administrations.

Abortion pills have been available in the U.S. since 2000, but they weren’t always the go-to method. Things changed in 2016. President Barack Obama weakened safety protocols for abortion pills, including expanding the cutoff from seven to 10 weeks’ gestation and ending requirements for in-person post-abortion care.

In 2021, President Joe Biden used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to allow abortion pills to be obtained online via telehealth and shipped through the mail. In the graph above you can see the corresponding rise in abortions in 2016 and 2021 thanks to those reckless policies. Planned Parenthood for its part reported a 31% increase in telehealth appointments in just one year. Abortion pills are a key reason.

Planned Parenthood’s annual report shows it continues to also be a leader in the trans industrial complex, while burying its gender services in an “other” category. The organization’s public reporting first mentioned these offerings in 2015-2016. At the time, there were 8,153 procedures in that category. In the latest report, that number ballooned to 50,411, and Planned Parenthood now brags that it’s “the second-largest provider of hormone therapy” in the U.S.

Different accounting mechanisms, or perhaps Planned Parenthood’s involvement administering COVID-19 vaccinations, may account for the dramatic spike in 2021. But there’s no way to know from the annual report, because Planned Parenthood has never provided a specific breakdown.

Last summer, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Among other things, it defunded abortion providers like Planned Parenthood of their Medicaid reimbursements for one year (Medicaid makes up the bulk of Planned Parenthood’s federal funding). That defund provision kicked in July 2025. This year’s Planned Parenthood report covers the financial year ending June 30, 2025. We’ll have to wait for next year’s annual report to see how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act affected Planned Parenthood’s bottom line.

But here’s what we know about Planned Parenthood’s finances right before the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

In the financial data section, Planned Parenthood reported:

• $2.496 billion in net assets, slightly down from $2.522 billion the previous year.
• $832 million in government funding, up from $792.2 million the previous year.
• More than $2 billion in total revenue, almost equal to the previous year.
• $728.2 million in private contributions and bequests, up from $684.1 million the previous year.

If Congress pursues another budget reconciliation bill, it must apply the defund provision to the full 10-year timeframe that other provisions are subject to. Otherwise, Planned Parenthood will start receiving Medicaid reimbursements again on July 4, 2026.

What a horrible way to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.

President Donald Trump, for his part, can reinstate the Protect Life Rule for Title X family planning funds. During his first term, this regulation enforced physical and financial separation of federal family planning grants from any recipient’s abortion activity. Rather than comply with the rule, Planned Parenthood walked away from $60 million in family planning grants. It appears the Department of Health and Human Services is on its way to restoring this commonsense requirement.

 More than 400,000 boys and girls lost their life thanks to Planned Parenthood last year, with many of their mothers harmed in the process too. A pro-life Congress and presidential administration should support real women’s health care, not force the American people to subsidize the abortion industry and make 2026 another record-breaking year for Planned Parenthood.

WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD, April 19 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday his envoys would return to Pakistan for new talks with Iran, while threatening new attacks on Iran’s bridges and power plants unless it accepts his terms.

Trump said the U.S. delegation would arrive on Monday evening, a timetable that leaves just a day for talks to make progress before a two-week ceasefire ends.

“We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” he posted on social media. “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!”

However, there was no immediate confirmation from Iran that it would attend any new talks. Iran’s Tasnim news agency reported that there had been no decision taken to send a delegation while a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports was in place.

A White House official said the U.S. delegation would be headed by Vice President JD Vance, who led the war’s first peace talks a week ago. Trump’s envoy Steve Kushner and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would also attend. Earlier, Trump had told ABC News and MS Now that Vance would not go.

Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, earlier said the two sides had made progress but were still far apart on nuclear issues and the Strait of Hormuz.

The vital shipping strait remained closed on Sunday, a day after Iran fired on two vessels that tried to cross.

Iran, which has blocked off the strait to ships apart from its own since the United States and Israel attacked on February 28, had announced on Friday it would reopen it. But it reversed that decision on Saturday after Trump declined to lift a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.

“Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement!” Trump wrote in Sunday morning’s post. “That wasn’t nice, was it?”

Strait of Hormuz Still Shut

Trump’s renewed threat to hit Iran’s power plants and bridges fits a pattern of such warnings throughout the war, several of which preceded moves to de-escalate. He abruptly announced the ceasefire two weeks ago just hours after declaring that Iran’s “whole civilisation will die tonight”.

Iran has said that if the United States attacks its civilian infrastructure it would hit power stations and desalination plants of Gulf Arab neighbours.

Now in its eighth week, the war has created the most severe shock to global energy supplies in history, sending oil prices surging because of the de facto closure of the strait, which before the war carried one-fifth of the world’s oil shipments.

Two liquefied petroleum gas tankers were seen on ship-tracking websites moving eastbound towards the strait early on Sunday morning, but the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that Iran’s armed forces turned them back. Marine traffic data showed no other movements after midnight.

Friday’s announcement that the strait would reopen caused the sharpest one-day drop in oil prices in years, while stock markets hit fresh all-time highs on the expectation that the disruption would soon end. But with the strait yet to reopen, markets could face new volatility when they reopen on Monday.

Amrita Sen, founder of the Energy Aspects think tank, predicted oil prices would rise on Monday when traders returned to their desks having realised they might have been prematurely optimistic last week.

“Events over the weekend with Iran firing on merchant vessels and shutting the strait again highlight just how precarious the situation is,” she said.

Thousands of people have been killed by U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and in an Israeli invasion of Lebanon conducted in parallel. Iran responded to attacks with missiles and drones against its Arab neighbours that host U.S. bases.

Pakistani Capital Locks Down for Talks

Two giant U.S. C-17 cargo planes landed at Pakistan’s Nur Khan air base on Sunday afternoon carrying security equipment and vehicles in preparation for the U.S. delegation’s arrival, two Pakistani security sources said.

City authorities in the capital Islamabad halted public transport and heavy goods traffic through the city. Rolls of barbed wire were rolled out near the Serena Hotel where last week’s talks were held. The hotel told all guests on Sunday to leave.

When U.S. and Iranian negotiators met last weekend in Islamabad, Washington proposed a 20-year suspension of all Iranian nuclear activity, while Iran suggested a halt of 3 to 5 years, according to people familiar with the proposals.

A statement from Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said Iran’s navy was ready to inflict “new bitter defeats” on its enemies.

Apart from the two-week ceasefire in the Iran war set to expire early on Wednesday, Israel and Lebanon announced a separate ceasefire last week.
