Planned Parenthood and the Birth Control Pill By Jim Sedlak United States pay an average of SO.38 to S2.40 for a cycle of pills, with most pills costing SO.65 to Sl.40 per cycle. The article specifically stated that these figures did not include Planned Parenthood or other non. profit grantees. This implied that Planned Parenthood pays less than SI .40 for a cycle of pills that it resells for S5 to S15, This would indicate that PPFA receives a tremendous profit from the sale of these pills. To confirm this, wc searched through hundreds of Planned Parenthood financial statements.
