While Planned Parenthood did most Minnesota abortions, three docs killed 1,000+ each
According to a new report, three physicians in Minnesota each committed more than 1,000 abortions in 2024, working out to more than four abortions per weekday, and over 80 a month. In addition, the majority of abortions committed in the state in 2024 were carried out at Planned Parenthood centers.
In 2024, 13,729 abortions were committed in Minnesota.
Three doctors committed more than 1,000 abortions each.
Planned Parenthood committed the majority of abortions in the state, at 8,052.
At least 243 abortions were committed in MN after 20 weeks, despite the fact that babies as young as 21 weeks gestation have survived with proper medical care.
In 2024, 233 doctors committed at least one abortion each, with only three abortions listed as committed by specialists in "emergency medicine."
Seven of the abortions were listed as "intra-uterine instillation," a procedure proven to be extremely dangerous for women and rarely practiced today.
According to a new report from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), three Minnesota doctors were responsible for more than 3,200 of the abortions in the state in 2024.
That year, 13,729 abortions were committed in the state. Three physicians committed over 1,000 abortions each:
"Physician H": 1,204 abortions
"Physician C": 1,072 abortions
"Physician CC": 1,055 abortions
These numbers average more than four abortions per weekday — or more than 80 per month — in 2024 for each doctor, with Physician H committing nearly five abortions per weekday and 100 abortions each month. Only three of all 13,729 abortions were categorized as having been committed by "emergency medicine" specialists.
In addition, Planned Parenthood committed nearly 60% (58.65%) of all abortions in Minnesota, carrying out 8,052 in 2024. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood Minnesota has been at the center of recent complaints from staff who call management "really toxic," say they are pressured to see as many patients as possible as quickly as possible, and say that the work environment is "disrespectful and chaotic."
Six other abortion facilities were listed in the report, including the two with the second and third most abortions: Whole Woman's Health, LLC (1,812 abortions) and Red River Women's Clinic (1,163 abortions). Whole Woman's Health is a franchise with a history of failed inspections.
State law ensures abortion facilities report certain statistics to MDH each year, but in 2023, pro-abortion politicians in the state removed some of the reporting requirements.
The report no longer includes the reason for an abortion, the survival status of an aborted baby, or what happened to those born alive during abortions.
A study published in December 2025 analyzed "all infants born at 21 weeks’ gestational age in a single-center level IV academic neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at the University of Iowa from January 1, 2020, through February 28, 2025." The total number of babies born at this age was 22; resuscitation was attempted on 17 of those babies, and 35% (six) of those babies reportedly survived to discharge from the NICU. This information is striking when considering the abortion report, which states that 5,190 of the babies in Minnesota were aborted by "Medical: Other medication (includes labor induction)," which may increase the chances of live birth.
It is unclear whether the babies in this category were targeted for intentional death or simply had to be delivered early (which is a dishonest way to define "abortion," typically understood to have the goal of prenatal death). Nonetheless, it remains unknown how many of those 5000+ babies survived labor induction later in pregnancy, if any.
Seven abortions in the state were categorized as intra-uterine instillation, which is defined as a "mid-trimester" abortion procedure carried out by injecting a chemical solution, such as hypertonic saline, urea, or prostaglandins, into the amniotic sac to cause uterine contractions and expel the baby. This procedure was once a more common method of induced abortion; however, today, it is rare (and shocking) when it is used.
The procedure often requires hospitalization, and is carried out similarly to labor induction. But there are significant risks for the mothers:
Saline abortions carry the risks of maternal poisoning, seizures, severe hemorrhage, renal failure, cerebral/pulmonary edema, uterine rupture, infection, and death due to imbalances in salt.
Urea abortions carry the risk of electrolyte imbalances, nausea, headache, severe cramping (especially if it accidentally enters the bloodstream), maternal poisoning, seizures, and clotting issues.
Prostaglandin abortions are considered the least risky of the three, but they still carry the risk of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills, and intense uterine cramps that could cause excessive bleeding and lead to the need for a surgical abortion. There is also the risk of uterine rupture, infection, and death.

Minnesota protects abortion as a right in its state constitution, codified into law in the 2023 Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act.
Abortion is allowed in the state at any point in pregnancy, and laws allow Medicaid to cover abortion while ensuring the protection of abortionists who carry out abortions on out-of-state women (shield laws). While the state protects abortion, it completely fails to protect preborn children and women.
Abortionists are clearly profiting in Minnesota amid dangerous practices and staff complaints of toxic environments.
