50 Abortions and $8,700 in Taxpayer-Funding: A Snapshot of Pennsylvania's Largest Abortion Operation
In one day, Planned Parenthood in PA averages 50 abortions, $8700 in taxpayer-funding and $94,000 in revenue – all while lobbying to remove limits from abortion and to shut down pregnancy resource centers. While Planned Parenthood is profiting from performing more abortions than any other organization in Pennsylvania, they’re actively lobbying an extreme agenda to remove any limits on abortions and to shut down pregnancy resource centers – all while receiving millions in Pennsylvania tax dollars.
The Business of Planned Parenthood in Pennsylvania
Planned Parenthood is responsible for over half of all abortions in Pennsylvania. In recent years, Planned Parenthood has carried out over 18,000 abortions annually. This means they are responsible for an average of 50 abortions every day in PA. The organization has three regional organizations in Pennsylvania that combine for a multi-million dollar operation centered on profits from abortion. They average $34 million in annual revenue (over the last five years). That’s over $94,000 per day in revenue for the state’s largest abortion mill.
| Metric | Data Point |
|---|---|
| Daily Abortions (Average) | 50 |
| Daily Revenue (Average) | $94,000 |
| Daily Taxpayer Funding (Average) | $8,700 |
| Annual Revenue (Average) | $34 million |
| Total Taxpayer Funding (Last 10 Years) | $31.7 million |
Regional Operations and Facilities
Planned Parenthood’s three Pennsylvania regions collectively operate 13 of the state’s 18 abortion facilities. They also operate 10 “feeder” sites, locations that do not profit from on-site abortions but refer to their other facilities. Here is a breakdown of the regional entities:
- Planned Parenthood Keystone: They made national news for a now-deleted tweet calling for Disney to have a princess who had an abortion. They also were recruiting donations of masks and surgical hats during the COVID shutdown so they could continue performing abortions despite all other elective surgeries being shut down.
- Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA: Leaders of this region have previously stated that they knew women were harmed by Kermit Gosnell yet did nothing themselves to stop him.
- Planned Parenthood Western PA: They are considered a “contracted care” site with the University of Pittsburgh, raising questions with the university’s continued practice of using aborted babies for experiments.
Taxpayer Funding and Political Agenda
Planned Parenthood has received over $31.7 million in taxpayer funding over the last ten years. This amounts to $8,700 per day in taxpayer funding. While this funding is not earmarked directly for abortions, the fact is this funding goes to an organization that performs abortions. In February 2023, in addition to the annual allotment of tax dollars, State Senator Amanda Cappelletti (D-Montgomery/Delaware) announced a $250,000 state grant for Planned Parenthood, specifically the Norristown location in her district. Sen. Cappelletti is also a former employee of Planned Parenthood, holding the past position of director of policy for Planned Parenthood PA Advocates.
What’s equally alarming is the taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood is actively lobbying state lawmakers in order to advance their pro-abortion agenda, which includes the removal of all limits to abortion and shutting down pro-life pregnancy centers. Melissa Reed, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Keystone, put it bluntly: “We will be relentless in our quest to expand abortion in PA.”
