Planned Parenthood Location Study

Does Planned Parenthood Target Young People?


Approximately 10 years ago, Students for Life of America researched Planned Parenthood locations in operation nationwide evaluating their proximity to college campuses. The project concluded that 79% of Planned Parenthood facilities were located within five miles of a college campus.
With the reversal of Roe in 2022, there was an interest in determining whether Planned Parenthood’s apparent corporate strategy to operate facilities within close proximity to college campuses had continued or if policy changes resulted in an impact on locations.
This study yielded THREE primary findings to be used as a baseline for formulating strategy in the pro-life movement…

87.6%

of the 563 Planned Parenthood facilities in operation are located within 5 miles of a college campus. This is an increase of 8.6% since our initial study approximately 10 years ago.

59

of these facilities in operation, or 16%, are located within states that prohibit abortion according to the state law. It is clear that Planned Parenthood’s business practice of referring patients for abortions in neighboring states continues.

In the last 10 years,

Planned Parenthood, has increased its proximity to college campuses. This should not be a disheartening statistic, but rather a market signal from the most influential pro-abortion stakeholder that the pro-life movement stands the most to gain by prioritizing providing education opportunities and resources to college students.
