Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood, probing whether it misused taxpayer funds.
The investigation comes through the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE). A news release on the investigation explains that although it receives 39% of its annual revenue from federal funds, Planned Parenthood uses the resources for abortion.
“The latest Planned Parenthood annual report shows that it performed more than 400,000 abortions, an increase of 23 percent over the last 10 years,” the release says. “Compared to a decade ago, Planned Parenthood provided 63 percent fewer prenatal services and 38 percent fewer contraceptive services.”
“As a recipient of nearly $800 million in federal funds in fiscal year (FY) 20232 and the second largest provider of gender hormone therapies in the United States, the Subcommittee is concerned that Planned Parenthood may be commingling federal funds and using them for unpermitted purposes,” the letter says. It is imperative that federal funds provided to Planned Parenthood via Title X of the Public Health Service Act (Title X), Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are administered in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, the Subcommittee seeks documents and information from Planned Parenthood about its delivery of these services and stewardship of taxpayer funds.”
Greene said in a statement that the abortion giant “harvests organs from babies and uses nearly all of its resources to kill babies, not provide real healthcare. Despite receiving billions in taxpayer dollars, they offer almost no prenatal care, push late-term abortions, and even supply aborted babies for grotesque experiments.”
“As a Christian, I believe every life is a gift from God, and I believe it’s time Congress holds them accountable and stops the flow of federal funds to this evil and barbaric organization,” she said.
The effort supports President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the use of federal taxpayer dollars on matters promoting abortion.
