<\/div>

According to a new report<\/a> out from American Life League (ALL), the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider is becoming increasingly reliant on chemical abortion<\/a>, as evidenced by an 82% increase in affiliates offering the abortion pill regimen between 2005 and 2021. As of 2021, 391 of Planned Parenthood\u2019s 567 active locations (69%) offered either chemical or surgical abortions, with a majority committing chemical abortions only<\/em>, and the remainder offering both<\/em> chemical and surgical options.<\/p>\n

All 567 locations dispense or administer potentially abortifacient contraceptive drugs and devices.<\/p>\n

The report was compiled by ALL\u2019s STOPP International project<\/a>, which \u201cexposes the true nature of Planned Parenthood and documents its anti-life, anti-family programs,\u201d according to its website, utilizing research done by Operation Rescue<\/a> and Planned Parenthood\u2019s own data.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood now runs 55% of all surgical and\/or pill abortion facilities in the United States,” STOPP International interim director Rita Diller noted. “This includes a whopping 82% of pill-only and 39% of all surgical locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also included statistics on Planned Parenthood abortion facility openings and closures. Of the 18 facilities temporarily closed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, eight reopened in 2021. On the whole, Planned Parenthood closed more facilities than it opened, opening six new abortion facilities last year but closing eleven.<\/p>\n

Yet the emphasis of the report is on the dangers of the abortion pill regimen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese unsupervised procedures \u2014 self-administered and without medical oversight \u2014 are incredibly dangerous [to women],” Diller said. “In addition to the risk of hemorrhaging and possible serious complications without any medical supervision, there is an increased incidence of uterine infection, pelvic inflammatory disease, and infertility, not the mention the mental anxiety that can be induced by the trauma of expelling your dead baby\u2019s body by yourself [and possibly] in secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous reports from Live Action News note that in both the United States and the United Kingdom, approximately 5-6%<\/a> of women using the abortion pill have visited hospital emergency rooms for resulting complications. And yet, in the U.S., only 28 states even require the reporting of abortion complications<\/a> to state agencies, and abortion industry mouthpieces are encouraging medical personnel to falsify records<\/a> if women do visit emergency rooms as a result of the abortion pill regimen. If accuracy in reporting is not a priority, women may never know the true risks of the abortion pill.<\/p>\n

In its conclusion, the report referenced the significant impact of the Supreme Court\u2019s June 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em> on Planned Parenthood\u2019s abortion business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this report reflects Planned Parenthood facility numbers for 2021, we note that many Planned Parenthood affiliates across the nation closed and\/or halted abortions immediately following the announcement of the Dobbs decision on June 22, 2022,” the report read. “[A]ffiliates located in states where abortion is now or will soon be highly restricted began announcing immediately that they will stop operations or cease abortions. In the same breath, they provided links to get abortions at [Planned Parenthood] facilities in other states, some offering links to funding.\u201d<\/p>\n
