Planned Parenthood's latest annual report "Above & Beyond" for 2022-2023 is of special interest because it is the first by the abortion giant officially covering the time since the June 2022 overturn of Roe. As such, it gives people an idea as to how much business was and was not affected by the Dobbs decision overturning Roe and what steps the group has taken to keep the nation's largest abortion chain open and busy.
In the report, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) says that its affiliates performed 392,715 abortions in the service year running October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. The report shows there had been no overall dropoff at its clinics since the 374,155 the group reported in its previous report.
Nailing down just how many abortions there have been nationally since Dobbs is a difficult enterprise, but if recent reports from Guttmacher turn out to be accurate, this means that Planned Parenthood clinics are now responsible for something like four out of every 10 abortions performed in the U.S.
With not just prenatal care and adoption referrals, but staples such as cancer screenings and even contraception at or near ten or twenty year lows, one might be tempted to think that Planned Parenthood was financially suffering. But revenues at PPFA reached an all-time high of more than two billion ($2,054,300,000.000)! And given that revenues outpaced expenses by more than $178 million, it is clear that the organization has money to burn.
