National News See other National News Articles Title: Taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood boasts about being leader in transgender medical procedures Abortion giant promotes hormone treatments Abortion provider Planned Parenthood now describes itself as one of the leading national providers of transgender medical interventions, but has been criticized by a top Republican for being "opaque" in how it discloses it in its annual reports. In 2023, a Pennsylvania chapter of the nonprofit said, "Providing gender-affirming care services aligns with our mission of enabling all people to make empowered, informed decisions about their bodies and lives. Nationally, Planned Parenthood is the second-largest provider of hormone therapy." The first Planned Parenthood affiliate began providing hormone therapy in 2005, according to its website. Forty-five affiliates offer hormone treatments – such as testosterone, estrogen and puberty blockers – under an informed consent model. Some of their clinics offer those treatments to children, depending on the location, according to Planned Parenthood's annual report for 2022-23. Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, who was a medical doctor before joining politics, has strongly criticized Planned Parenthood for being "opaque" in its reporting practices on transgender procedures – raising questions about whether spikes in an undisclosed category in its annual reports are from its gender program.

(Fox News Digital-Hannah Grossman) "Despite the rapid increase in the number of Planned Parenthood affiliates offering these types of services, the exact number of gender transition services performed is unknown because this information is captured in the organization’s annual reports under the broad label of 'Other Procedures,'" Cassidy said in a press release. In its latest report, Planned Parenthood lists 177,237 in the "other procedures" category, a drastic increase from 15,902 "other Procedures" in its 2020-2021 report. Former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson blasted Planned Parenthood for having a "very dark agenda" in the general sense. Johnson, who left the organization in 2009, claimed many of the workers have post-traumatic symptoms from witnessing abortions at Planned Parenthood. "That is not normal," she told Fox News Digital. "Nothing in that environment is normal and it's very dark. It's very macabre. Everything about it is very unnatural." Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
