Shocking graph: Planned Parenthood’s market share now 1/3 of all U.S. abortions
American Life League’s STOPP reported in February:
Here are some comparative numbers based on the Guttmacher report entitled “Abortion Incidence and Service Availability in the United States, 2011,” and Planned Parenthood’s annual reports, showing Planned Parenthood’s ever-increasing share of the U.S. abortion market:
Planned Parenthood committed 31.6% of abortions nationwide in 2011
Planned Parenthood committed 23.3% of abortions nationwide in 2006
Planned Parenthood committed 16.5% of abortions nationwide in 2001
Planned Parenthood committed 11.3% of abortions nationwide in 1996
Planned Parenthood committed 8.5% of abortions nationwide in 1991
Planned Parenthood committed 6.2% of abortions nationwide in 1986The graph below shows that Planned Parenthood abortions continue to soar, even as national abortion rates have declined and leveled off.

Applying actual numbers of babies murdered at PP to STOPP’s percentages above:
2011: 333,964
2006: 289,750
2001: 213,026
1996: 153,367
1991: 132,314
1981: 79,997
By 2012, Planned Parenthood had killed a total of 6 million babies, a grim milestone.
Interestingly, Planned Parenthood‘s escalating numbers come at a cost to mom and pop chop shops. Normally liberals oppose big business. Who can forget their Occupy Wall Street fiasco?
But liberals apparently don’t mind that Planned Parenthood – whose NYC base of operations is ironically not far from Wall Street – is corporate Big Abortion, running smaller private abortion clinics out of business.
An abortionist at one of Planned Parenthood’s smaller competitors compared it to not to Wall Street but Wal-Mart. Quoting LiveActionNews.com:
Peter Bours, a physician in Oregon, reports that new Planned Parenthood franchises in his area are making one of his offices financially untenable; whereas he has once provided 100 or more abortions per month in his Portland office, he now performs around 20. Referring to Planned Parenthood as “the Walmart of abortion clinics,” Bours contends that the larger providers offer inferior services….
As Planned Parenthood’s abortion numbers climb, its claim that abortion accounts for only 3% of its business becomes all the more untenable.
Even liberal NPR debunked that lie, correcting that figure upward to 10%, meaning one in 10 of Planned Parenthood’s patients submit to abortions. And as sba-list.org pointed out, 37% of Planned Parenthood’s clinic income comes from abortion.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
The disadvantage to Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortion movement is that this makes them a bigger target for exposure to all of their killing and corruption. The pro-abortion giant has its vulnerabilities.
Conning and bribing politicians into subsidizing your business, and then conning their constituents into accepting it as “health care” is always great for the bottom line and bad news for your competition.
It’s a business straight from the pit of hell, a sham, a charade. Touting “women’s health” they traumatize every mother they “treat” (even if their conscience is so seared that they don’t know it). Their bank accounts swell with the blood money they hoard as the sewers beneath their execution chambers run red with the blood of the innocent children they kill and dismember.
Of course they get a lot of help from the majority of Christians who are quite content with their lives and are unfazed by the children being killed in their own neighborhoods.
Yawn.
All the more urgent to see them defunded.
To be honest, I had assumed that PP had a much bigger share than they do !
FYI: The PP pictured isn’t in NYC, it’s in Houston.
When they first bought a former Sterling Bank bldg. it went around in emails with them bursting at the seams over moving into it….It was disgusting……I stayed on their email list after I became Pro-Life cause it’s good to know what the baby killers are up to and how they twist wording around to suit them.
Anyway, I had looked up their new address mentioned in the email back then and the building in the picture here came up.
I don’t know how anyone with half a conscience can work there.
May I suggest that you don’t hold your breath on that one Del :-)
Well, Del, since the funding goes toward everything but abortions, and the donations go toward the abortions, you may never get PP defunded. Even though many Republicans oppose abortion, many are in favor of the non-abortion services provided by PP.
And, with the number of standalone clinics declining, sure PP is going to get a higher market share. I have to laugh at people who applaud clinics closing yet don’t have the common sense to realize the women are still going to end up going somewhere else for their abortions, even if it means having to travel further.
Abortion access has been relatively easy the past 40 years, despite many of the way to make it less accessible. And, even if it is criminalized again in most states, the Internet exists today–gone are the days of having to go underground to find someone who will perform abortions. Today, it’s just a mouseclick away and women can find what they can ingest to cause miscarriages–with little risk compared to 40 or more years ago. Also, there is menstrual extraction. Home pregnancy tests that didn’t exist pre-Roe v. Wade, so there’s no documentation of a woman’s pregnancy. The coathanger days are gone (even if they didn’t result in as many abortions as originally thought).

There is a whole lot more that you don’t understand, but it’s hopeless trying to educate you.
Most women are pushed and pressured into getting abortions because the procedure is so easy to access. Reducing the convenience and offering more real help (CPC’s outnumber abortuaries about 10-to-1) has reduced the number of abortions.
But our primary strategy is to make the public aware of how many clinics there really are, and how nasty those clinics are to the women who go there. Women are injured there. Each clinic closure makes the public more aware.
Eventually, the public won’t want abortion at all…. not in stand-alone clinics, not in hospitals, and not in doctors offices.
That is our strategy. Education and awareness. Clinic closures help.
Although it really is amazing how no one seems to miss them when they’re gone! The only real effect seems to be a drastic reduction in the overall number of abortions.
Most women are pushed and pressured into getting abortions – that’s not true.
because the procedure is so easy to access. – so which are you claiming, the ‘pressure’ or the ‘ease’?
Reducing the convenience and offering more real help has reduced the number of abortions. – no, that’d be morning after pills and such. There won’t be any ‘real’ help while the gop are around.
But our primary strategy is to make the public aware of how many clinics there really are, and how nasty those clinics are to the women who go there. – well that’s not going to work because its based on a faulty premise.
Women are injured there. – women are injured undergoing any medical procedure. Shall we make the public aware that delivery is more dangerous? Let’s do that.
Each clinic closure makes the public more aware. – yes, of the threats to their freedoms and rights.
Eventually, the public won’t want abortion at all…. not in stand-alone clinics, not in hospitals, and not in doctors offices. – back to the alleys eh? Women have wanted abortion to be available from the day they understood the whole reproduction thing. Closing some clinics isn’t going to change that.
That is our strategy. Education and awareness. Clinic closures help. – propaganda and misinformation.
Although it really is amazing how no one seems to miss them when they’re gone! – and you would know this how?
The only real effect seems to be a drastic reduction in the overall number of abortions. – what drastic reduction?
And, Del, a few clinics may have closed in Texas due to the new law; however, I can tell you that one or more will re-open after the Texas law is either allowed to stand or overturned. If allowed to stand, then a clinic owner may build or lease within 30 miles of where his/her doctor can get hospital admitting privileges. Or, being talked about but not publicized as much are rotations of doctors. For example, one doctor with admitting privileges at a hospital might work at 3 clinics within the Dallas area instead of just one clinic or two clinics. Other considerations are opening on Sundays; staying open at night, etc. And, then there is the Curtis Boyd scenario where he works both New Mexico and Texas. Don’t think that may not occur with more physicians in the future.
And, this quote in the article is absurd without further explanation:
“As Planned Parenthood’s abortion numbers climb, its claim that abortion accounts for only 3% of its business becomes all the more untenable.”
It depends on how that 3% is measured. If PP does 300,000 abortions a year, and it has 10 million patient visits for all services, that’s a correct figure. If it’s based on revenues, it may or may not be.
Whether it’s 3% or 10%, planned parenthood provides valuable health care to women all across the country. I applaud this organization and the services provided to woman, whether it be abortion, birth control, or just basic health care. Women deserve access to abortion, period.
Planned Parenthood said they would reduce the undesirable population, then proceeded to place its facilities in high minority population centers. Yet they they claim to be all about helping women. It will be great to see them defunded. Don’t worry Del, when you get trolls like “Merit” and “Reality” hanging about, you know they are worried. They’ll just pop in a few one liners and then repeat.
Merit NEEDS abortions. She can’t fully self actualize without the ability to kill her own babies. The right to murder COMPLETES her.
Just think about that, and multiply it by a million rabid feminists.
“Women deserve access to abortion, period.”
Why?
James,
You have posted here before as Jake.
Please choose the moniker you will be posting under.
Thank you.
“Please choose the moniker you will be posting under.”
Or better yet, not post at all.
Since James just “hit and run” I will respond to the WHY JDC – because PP needs to make a profit off of pregnant women. James, merit, reality and some others fully support taking money from vulnerable women.
David, methinks you protest too much when you call Reality and me trolls. Is the purpose of posting to discuss issues, or is it merely a mutual admiration society to pat each other on the back?
Hi “merit:” we may pat each other on the back from time to time. The way I see it, you pat PP all the time.
In the end, we stand for life and you stand for scraping out and enriching PP’s bottom line in the process. And for your information, this is a PRO-LIFE website to begin with so your point to David makes no sense.
You can always pat those like you on a pro-abort website to your heart’s content and it may take away the lonelineness you experience here :)
Did I sum up the issues in easy terms for you….
Thomas R, your delusions are noted.
Planned Parenthood said they would reduce the undesirable population, then proceeded to place its facilities in high minority population centers. – you have a source to verify the veracity of this one-liner David?
Merit: You missed my point, entirely.
When abortion clinics close, people talk about it and see how sleazy the operation really is.
When abortion clinics reopen, people talk about it and see how sleazy the operation really is.
Our strategy is public education. Closing clinics is a bonus, and we celebrate. But that is not our long-term goal.
Our goal is to restore a culture that respects life, a culture that knows killing children is despicable.
No Del, your ultimate goal is to deny women the right to rule their lives. And James Ashby, I am happy to see a male name supporting women. We can not do this fight without you.
Deny all you want, anti-science abortion fans, but a new human being’s life is no one else’s to rule to death. Abortion: legal, fatal child abuse.
Del, I can’t miss a point you don’t have.
Every time a clinic re-opens, I know you antiabortion zealots talk about it.
But, yet, women go get abortions at the re-opened clinic.
You say your strategy is “public education”. But, when you mix misinformation in with your “public education”, you will fail overall.
“merit:” You have a source that Pro-life misinforms about the substandard conditions in PP “clinics” and health-code violations that are rampant there? Do you have any sources that can without a doubt proof that the closed clinics did not engage in unsafe practices? The reason PP “clinics” close is because they function as mills, mishandle patient records to provide cover-up and provide unsafe and unhealthy “medical” environment that is contrary to the established codes.
It seems to me you are just peeved that Pro-Life exposes PP’s disgusting ways of doing “business” and that states are finally seeing it.
Your delusions are noted as well…..
If we can get a majority in the Senate in this years election then the 2015 congressional budget could include PP defunding.
