Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) launched a formal investigation into Planned Parenthood on Friday, demanding transparency and accountability regarding the organization’s use of nearly $800 million in taxpayer dollars.
In a letter addressed to Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Greene raised serious concerns that the organization may be improperly “commingling federal funds” and using them for impermissible activities — including abortions and cross-sex hormone treatments for minors.
The inquiry comes on the heels of a new undercover investigation by pro-life advocacy group Live Action, which alleges that Planned Parenthood clinics in several states are prescribing hormone therapy to minors as young as 16 with minimal medical evaluation and limited parental involvement.
At the core of the investigation is whether Planned Parenthood is violating the Hyde Amendment, a long-standing federal provision that prohibits the use of federal funds for most abortion procedures. The Trump administration previously reinforced this restriction through executive action, also barring the use of federal money for transgender medical interventions in minors.
Planned Parenthood reported receiving $792.2 million in taxpayer funds from 2023 to 2024 — a nearly $100 million increase from the prior year. Over that same period, the organization performed more than 400,000 abortions, up from 392,000 the year before, according to its most recent annual report.
The letter accuses the organization of offering “cross-sex hormones to minors with allegedly little to no medical or psychological evaluation” and highlights that at least 45 affiliate health centers report offering so-called “gender-affirming care.” While Planned Parenthood states that such care requires parental consent for minors, Greene says there’s evidence that “the organization does not consistently adhere to its own parental consent policies.”
Planned Parenthood’s reports also categorize gender-transition services under vague “other procedures,” raising further questions about the transparency of its reporting.
The DOGE Subcommittee is now demanding Planned Parenthood turn over a comprehensive set of documents, including internal financial records and non-public information related to service delivery from January 2020 through June 2025. The subcommittee is specifically seeking data on how the organization administers federal funds through Title X, Medicaid, and CHIP.
The investigation coincides with House Republicans advancing President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful, Bill,” which includes provisions to strip funding from abortion providers, particularly Planned Parenthood. Greene and other GOP lawmakers argue that no organization that performs abortions or provides controversial gender treatments to minors should receive federal dollars.

Good. About time! It looks to EVERYONE except for abortion advocates that this funding was against federal law. Of course, killing babies after conception is also according to God. Too much of an inconvenience to actually take responsibility for your own actions though. Rape? Incest? Those are about 3/10’s of 1% but it is still murder. Adoption is just too available to take advantage of.
