Planned Parenthood, in its latest fiscal year, performed 345,672 abortions, an increase of 12,915 from the year before, according to its 2018-2019 annual report published over the weekend.

Abortions now comprise 4% of Planned Parenthood services, an increase from 3.4% the year before. The organization calculates that percentage by individually counting out its 9.8 million services, from abortion to adoption referrals, pregnancy tests, vasectomies, and pap tests.
