Planned Parenthood Closures Now at 50 Facilities

By Katie Brown Xavios

This week, STOPP announced on American Life League’s Facebook page that another Planned Parenthood facility had closed, bringing the total number for the year to 50 facilities. 

The Planned Parenthood facility in Seaford, Delaware, is temporarily closed, which sets the record for the most facilities closed in a single year. 

STOPP acknowledges the powerful impact of each of these closures, and it couldn’t have happened without the prayerful witness and prayers of pro-lifers both in person at these facilities and at their homes and churches. Each Planned Parenthood closure is a spiritual victory over the evil that presided there, and for that we praise God!

STOPP is currently in the process of compiling a comprehensive list of each closure in 2025 and of the impact of these closures. We expect to complete this report in early 2026. 

As the fight to permanently close Planned Parenthood continues, we must acknowledge the increasing presence of Planned Parenthood’s virtual “clinics,” which have grown exponentially over the last year. Planned Parenthood now operates 45 of these, which dispense abortion pills or forms of contraception, and in some cases both. 

As Planned Parenthood feels the pressure of closing brick-and-mortar facilities, we expect them to open even more virtual “clinics” in 2026. STOPP will continue to lead the fight against Planned Parenthood, both in brick-and-mortar facilities and online. 

In the meantime, we must acknowledge the powerful impact these 50 closures will have on their communities. Praise God! And may there be even more in the months to come! 

A Year of Action and Perseverance: STOPP’s 2025 Achievements 

By Katherine Van Dyke

As we approach the end of the year, we want to highlight the fact that 2025 has been a year of action, hope, and perseverance as STOPP has diligently worked to shut down Planned Parenthood once and for all. With new lawsuits from states against the abortion giant, temporary defunding of several Planned Parenthood affiliates, and a record-breaking 50 facility closures (so far) within the calendar year, Planned Parenthood is facing pressure because of its lack of government funding looming. 

STOPP has played a major part in the battle against Planned Parenthood for years, but 2025 was certainly a year of many accomplishments. These highlights include:

  1. The release of our 2025 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation in March 2025. This report revealed that Planned Parenthood’s top CEO made nearly $1 million in fiscal year 2023, while its Los Angeles CEO earned an annual compensation of nearly $876,000. Planned Parenthood CEOs are in the 98th percentile of wage earners compared to other nonprofit organizations in the US. Our report gained coverage across numerous news agencies, with an initial exclusive of our report published by the Daily Wire.
  2. Our report on Planned Parenthood’s CEO salaries additionally sparked action in Congress, as five representatives cited STOPP’s research in a penned letter to DOGE, asking it to investigate the financial practices of Planned Parenthood, given its exorbitant CEO salaries.
  3. STOPP was the first to analyze and report on Planned Parenthood’s 2024 Annual Report, A Force for Hope, released the day after Mother’s Day. STOPP’s research team highlighted the rise in abortion numbers in just one year—from 392,715 to 402,230—as well as the almost $800 million Planned Parenthood received in our tax dollars.
  4. After a four-year hiatus, STOPP released its 2025 Planned Parenthood Facilities Report in June, which reported on the number of closures, openings, and temporary closures of Planned Parenthood facilities throughout the country from 2022-May 2025. It also exposed the reality that despite its facility closures, Planned Parenthood’s “Virtual Health Centers” are on the rise to get abortion pills into the hands of women throughout the country.
  5. In August, STOPP released a special report that informed the public on Planned Parenthood affiliates’ income in so-called “pro-life states” and how many of them rake in almost the same amount of money in states with abortion restrictions than in states without restrictions. EWTN even invited our own Katie Brown Xavios to discuss STOPP’s findings on a segment on its Pro-Life Weekly.
  6. Florida’s attorney general, James Uthmeier, cited STOPP’s 2025 Report on Planned Parenthood CEO Compensation and a previous STOPP article from 2022 in his November 2025 lawsuit against Planned Parenthood’s “deceptive marketing” about the “safety” of the abortion pill mifepristone.
  7. STOPP also worked with our supporters by providing several calls to action in our Wednesday STOPP Reports throughout the year, as we work together to combat the evils of Planned Parenthood in our local communities and states.

Thanks to the prayers and support of everyone reading this, STOPP has had a very busy but fruitful year. We are incredibly grateful for your support over the decades, and we are most especially grateful to Our Lord, who since STOPP’s beginning has guided and helped us in this great fight. We humbly ask for your continued prayers and support as we continue our mission to stop Planned Parenthood in 2026.
