Planned Parenthood, often associated primarily with abortion services, also provides essential health care for many Americans facing limited options. However, the organization is experiencing significant financial constraints that threaten its operations. Clinics have decreased from 900 serving 5 million patients to 600 serving 2.1 million. The national office focuses on advocacy rather than direct care, leaving affiliates to navigate a challenging funding landscape exacerbated by political pressures. This prioritization of abortion rights over sustainable healthcare funding has led to understaffed clinics and compromised patient care over the years.
Financial strains have forced Planned Parenthood to shrink its health care operations significantly, from 5 million patients in the 1990s to 2.1 million today.
There is a critical distinction between the Planned Parenthood Federation and its 49 affiliates that operate clinics, affecting public perception and funding.
