Former President Joe Biden was honored this week with an award from Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion network in the United States, at a charity gala in Dover, Del., amid criticism from pro-life groups who claim that his policies facilitated a historic increase in abortions during his term.

An award in the name of an ally
Biden was presented with the 2026 Sonia Schorr Sloan Service Award by his wife, Jill Biden, who has been a pro-abortion rights activist. According to a report by LifeNews, the former president described Sloan as a "close friend and early supporter" and stated that he would not have made it to the Senate or the presidency if not for her.
Sonia Schorr Sloan was a microbiologist, fundraiser and Democratic activist from Delaware. She served as president of Planned Parenthood in the state and raised over $100 million for various NGOs. She was an ally of Joe Biden since his first Senate campaign in 1972.
From the Dobbs ruling to Biden's executive orders
In his speech, Biden linked the award to the overturning of Roe v. Wade following the 2022 Dobbs ruling. He said Sloan would have felt "devastated," with "anger and astonishment," but that she would not have wasted "a single moment, wringing her hands."
The Democrat stated that, as president, he tried to do what he knew Sonny would have done, and he defended executive orders to "protect access to reproductive health care, including emergency medical care."
Record Number of Abortions at Planned Parenthood
During his remarks, Biden did not address lawsuits or reports of medical malpractice against Planned Parenthood clinics, nor did he mention cases of incomplete abortions described in coverage such as that by The New York Times (NYT), nor to the demographic debate raised by pro-life groups.
These organizations estimate that there have been more than 67 million abortions in the United States since 1973 and, as an approximation, that about 33 million of those would have been female fetuses.
