Planned Parenthood & Federal Funding for Abortion Services: What You Need to Know

Title X, the only federal grant program that can legally provide funding for abortion services, prohibits federal funds from being used for abortion services. Therefore, Planned Parenthood does not receive any federal funding for abortion services. Federal funds can be used for non-abortion services such as cancer screenings and contraception. Abortion care from Planned Parenthood is privately funded through patient fees and private insurance.
