The American College of Pediatricians published a\u00a0fact sheet\u00a0on Wednesday in collaboration with the American Principles Project documenting Planned Parenthood\u2019s role in what the medical organization described as \u201csex-rejecting interventions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The publication of the fact sheet comes as the one-year moratorium on Planned Parenthood funding contained in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is slated to expire July 5.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood is one of the largest providers of sex-rejecting interventions to minors, including opposite-sex hormones and puberty blockers,\u201d American College of Pediatricians Executive Director Dr. Jill Simons said. \u201cAlthough polls show that a majority of Americans oppose taxpayer funding for these procedures, Planned Parenthood received approximately $832 million in taxpayer funding in 2024\u20132025. Unless Congress acts, Planned Parenthood is expected to continue receiving hundreds of millions more in federal funding.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Simons cited the fact sheet as \u201cevidence regarding Planned Parenthood\u2019s harmful and life-threatening practices\u201d and part of an effort to \u201curge Congress to defund them.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren, mothers, and families deserve safe and compassionate care that does not deprive them of informed consent or seek to impose ideological beliefs,\u201d Simons added. \u201cThey deserve better.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The fact sheet lists estrogen and anti-androgen hormone therapy, testosterone hormone therapy, puberty blockers, surgery referrals and transition support as procedures and services Planned Parenthood affiliates provide to trans-identified patients.\n<\/p>\n

It notes that \u201cin some locations, patients receiving these procedures and services are as young as 16 years of age.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanned Parenthood also provides free chest binders for minors, informational resources for \u2018gender affirming clothing sites,\u2019 \u2018trans health guides,\u2019 and tips for \u2018safe binding\/tucking, voice training, and more,\u2019\u201d the fact sheet stated.\n<\/p>\n

Chest binders are designed to conceal the breasts of trans-identified females seeking to portray themselves as males, while \u201ctucking\u201d refers to efforts by trans-identified males to conceal their genitalia to appear female.\n<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood stated in its\u00a02019\u20132020 annual report\u00a0that \u201cmore than 200 health centers in 31 states\u201d provide cross-sex hormones to trans-identified individuals.\n<\/p>\n

In its\u00a02022\u20132023 annual report, the abortion provider said 45 of its 49 affiliates nationwide provide the life-altering procedures to people diagnosed with gender dysphoria.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cNearly 450 or 80% of Planned Parenthood clinics offer sex-rejecting procedures nationwide \u2014 more than the number of locations that offer abortion services,\u201d the fact sheet added.\n<\/p>\n

Although national data is unavailable, statistics compiled from annual reports by Planned Parenthood affiliates revealed a 40% increase in such procedures in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024, according to Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee\u00a0research.\n<\/p>\n

Increases as high as 434% in gender transition procedures were recorded at individual Planned Parenthood clinics in Idaho and Washington between 2018 and 2025, according to ACP.\n<\/p>\n

The fact sheet included statistics about the abortion provider\u2019s role in advancing gender ideology-focused sex education in the U.S.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cIn FY 2025, Planned Parenthood spent $72.6 million on training 1.3 million participants in gender ideology and sexually explicit sex education programs,\u201d the fact sheet stated. \u201cIn just two years, Planned Parenthood provided 30,000 courses to 10,000 educators, students, and parents through its online \u2018Sex Ed To-Go\u2019 program alone. Planned Parenthood provides resources and curricula for teaching preschool children as young as 3 years old about transgender ideology.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven states\u00a0and Puerto Rico have banned some or all forms of the life-altering gender procedures because of concerns about their long-term impact: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.\n<\/p>\n

As the American College of Pediatricians has\u00a0warned, puberty blockers can cause \u201costeoporosis, mood disorders, seizures, [and] cognitive impairment,\u201d while potential side effects of cross-sex hormones include \u201can increased risk of heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, blood clots and cancers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
