    Pro-life organizations are praising Congress for passing the “Big, Beautiful Bill” on Thursday, which strips federal taxpayer dollars to abortion-giant Planned Parenthood through Medicaid. The provision was allowed to remain in the final version of the budget reconciliation bill after Senate Republicans changed the timing of defunding from ten years to one year. While pro-life organizations view the move as a battle won, they are pledging to continue fighting to have the organization permanently defunded through debarment. “For years, we’ve said that forced taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion could end, arguing with our political friends and enemies...

    Planned Parenthood has vowed to take the Trump administration to court over a provision in the newly-passed megabill that would “defund” the nonprofit for up to one year. Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of the organization, said on Thursday the reconciliation bill is an “unlawful” and “targeted attack” on the organization and its patients.

    In a historic victory for pro-life Americans, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” on Thursday, a sweeping reconciliation measure that includes provisions to defund Planned Parenthood, Once President Trump signs the bill into law it will be the first time that the radical Planned Parenthood abortion business has been defunded. The vote was 218-214 with Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., a fiscal hawk, and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., a centrist, joining all Democrats in voting against it. The new law will redirect hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to community-based, pro-life healthcare providers and away...

    The Senate has rejected an amendment to President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill that sought to provide funding for Planned Parenthood, which receives much of its support from private donations and other revenue sources. The defunding provision will remain in the bill after the Senate parliamentarian ruled it does not violate the chamber’s Byrd Rule.

    On Thursday, the Supreme Court greenlit South Carolina’s efforts to remove abortion providers, such as Planned Parenthood, from the state’s Medicaid reimbursement program. Naturally, MSNBC’s Ana Cabrera Reports freaked out over the decision, with Law Prof. Leah Litman warning the move could lead to a rise in cancer. Cabrera put the ball on the tee when she asked, “So, Leah, what do you see as the ramifications of this decision?” Litman began by painting a gloomy scene, “I think the practical implications of this decision are going to be momentous. I mean, Medicaid serves as an important, you know, source...

    Dozens of members of Congress have warned that the most common method of abortion in America may not just kill unborn babies and harm their mothers, it may also pollute America’s drinking water with forever chemicals that could impact declining fertility levels. Some 25 congressional Republicans signed a letter calling on the Trump administration to determine whether the abortion pill mifepristone has an environmental impact on the U.S. water system. “[M]ifepristone is a potent progesterone blocker that disrupts hormonal balance in pregnant women to induce abortion. This raises questions about the drug’s potential endocrine-disrupting effects when present in drinking water...

    The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that South Carolina has the right to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business. The pro-life state wants to be able to block taxpayer funding for the abortion business under Medicaid, but the abortion company sued to block that action. Today, the Supreme Court ruled South Carolina has the power to block funding. In the decision, written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court said Medicaid laws do not give individuals the right to bring federal lawsuits against states. The high court’s ruling means that the state can direct Medicaid funding—funds intended to help low-income...

    Thursday morning saw a flurry of decisions and updates from the Supreme Court of the United States. Many were helpfully captured in a long thread by legal expert Jonathan Turley on X, who chronicled the rapid-fire announcements. Buried in that thread was a key decision that SCOTUS made in the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic. “We have our second opinion. It is Medina v. Planned Parenthood, an important case that has not drawn as much attention,” Turley explained. “It is written by Justice Gorsuch in a 6-3 opinion.” Turley further explained: “The Court considered whether there is...

    The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states can ban Planned Parenthood from their Medicaid programs, reversing an earlier appeals court ruling against South Carolina's bid to defund the nation's largest abortion provider. The high court released its opinion in the case of Medina v. Planned Parenthood on Thursday morning, ruling 6-3 that federal law does not stop the Palmetto State from banning abortion providers from Medicaid. Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, being joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. "To prove that a statute secures an...

    the Daily Signal ^ | June 17, 2025 | Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell
    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., unintentionally explained why pro-lifers should support President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill. “Under the Republican bill, 200 Planned Parenthood centers would close,” Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat, said at a pro-abortion press conference on Tuesday. “More than 90% of these closures would be in states where abortion is legal for the voters of the state.” In the budget reconciliation bill, the House GOP removed Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country. The effort had been supported by dozens of pro-life legislators from around the country. The move...

    Decades of deception deliberately perpetuated by the abortion industry have given women a false sense of security about the alleged safety of the abortion pill (mifepristone). The abortion industry has attempted to downplay the abortion pill’s risks to women for a very long time, but has in recent years taken to accusing women of ‘overreacting’ when they visit emergency rooms (ER) for adverse events resulting from the abortion pill. If significant numbers of women are visiting ERs due to legitimate concerns about their abortion pill complications, who is at fault?

    A DePaul University student organization with ties to Planned Parenthood says it was told earlier in June by school officials to disband, end its operations, and cancel its events. Planned Parenthood Generation Action DePaul University (PPGenAction DePaul) is affiliated with Planned Parenthood Illinois Action. The group reportedly said school officials did not provide its leaders with any statement of violation of school policies or procedures to explain the order to disband the organization. According to the Chicago Sun Times, however, a DePaul spokesperson said the university does not allow student groups to affiliate with outside organizations “whose core missions are...

    Washington, DC — As the Senate continues to propose changes to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” – the legislation that could defund Planned Parenthood for the next ten years – The House has launched a deep-dive investigation into Planned Parenthood and its possible use of federal funds for “unpermitted purposes.” In a letter sent to Alexis McGill Johnson, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood, Rep. Marjorie Greene requested all of Planned Parenthood’s non-public financial statements and annual reports, as well as a large catalogue of other documents. Rep. Greene is the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government...

    Pro-life organizations have been talking about a recent study on abortion pill complications. The study found that 10.93 percent of people experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhage, or another serious adverse event within 45 days of taking the abortion pill. It also found that the rate of serious adverse events following chemical abortions is at least 22 times higher than the figure of “less than 0.5 percent” reported on the drug label. When examining numbers and statistics, it’s easy to lose sight of their impact on individual people. What do these complications look like for individual women? An Abortion Pill Complication One...

    About 250 Hollywood stars joined with Planned Parenthood last week in a full-page New York Times ad that called for continued taxpayer funding of the abortion industry giant. “I’m for Planned Parenthood,” proclaims the ad. The celebrities, among them singers Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, and Cyndi Lauper, and actor George Lopez, cite three reasons for their support, including because they’re for “freedom” and for “health care.” Their third reason echoes Planned Parenthood’s common deceitful claim that they support getting “the government” out of decisions about abortion. In reality, Planned Parenthood and its allies are, in this very ad, pushing for...

    Darren Beattie, the State Department’s acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, is being criticized for some alarming statements he has posted on social media regarding sterilization and population control. The Independent reported on numerous odd and even disturbing social media posts authored by Beattie — some less than one year ago. In 2021, he wrote, “Interesting moral universe we live in where abortion is celebrated, but the notion of giving smart people incentives or cash to start families is so far out of overton window no sitting politician of either party would dare advocate it.” He repeated a...

    Students for Life Action (SFLAction) has launched a month-long June campaign pressuring 12 Republican senators to back the House-approved budget bill that defunds Planned Parenthood and major abortion providers. The campaign aims to integrate the House’s pro-life language into the Senate version of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which narrowly passed the House May 22. The Senate is now expected to revise the bill before it reaches the president’s desk in early July. “Our message to our friends is simple: No matter what your concerns, work to get the House language in the Senate budget. That means cutting off...

    Texas Right to Life ^ | June 2, 2025 | Ashley Leenerts
    Texas lawmakers passed bills that will help build a Pro-Life culture, but House leadership ignored the biggest threat to women and babies: abortion pills. State officials began the 2025 legislative session in January with a major opportunity to stop the abortion industry. An estimated 30,000 Texan babies are killed each year by out-of-state procedures and abortion drugs, which also endanger mothers. Texas Right to Life urged the Legislature to save these children with two Pro-Life Priority Bills: 1 The Woman and Child Protection Act (SB 2880) to combat abortion pills; and 2 The Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act (SB 33)...

    America’s eighth-largest school district handed taxpayer cash to Planned Parenthood to train teachers that biological sex is a “myth,” according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Philadelphia School District (PSD), which oversees almost 200,000 students, paid Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania (PPSP) nearly $40,000 in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) HIV grant funds to provide up to 70 trainings which decry biological sex as a “myth,” support medical child sex-changes and normalize men in women’s sports, according to documents obtained by the DCNF through a public records request.
