Federally funded programs like Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP) routed at least $1.89 billion between 2019 and 2021 to major groups that provide abortions, according to a report released Tuesday from the investigative arm of Congress that gives one of the most complete assessments of taxpayer investments in the abortion industry.

The Government Accountability Office reported Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates received $1.78 billion from federally funded programs, International Planned Parenthood Federation received $2.03 million, MSI Reproductive Choices received $1.35 million, and four domestic regional abortion providers received $107.74 million.

[Interestingly, this covers the period of the second half of the Trump administration. Republicans pledged to choke off these funds, and some tried, but clearly they failed at this mission. Want to bet that the investments have increased substantially since 2021? — Ed]
