Did Planned Parenthood Scrub Its Instagram So DOGE Wouldn’t Defund?
Life News ^ | February 17, 2025 | Steven Ertelt

Last week, the Planned Parenthood abortion business scrubbed its Instagram account. Every single post over a number of years just vanished.

This action coincides with massive call for DOGE to defend the abortion giant. And some pro-life advocates are speculating that Planned Parenthood wiped clean its Instagram account in a desperate attempt to avoid defunding.

The scrubbing of social media presence could be interpreted as a strategic retreat from public engagement amidst a massive push to eliminate taxpayer funding of fraud and waste — both of which describe Planned Parenthood. The abortion company’s decision to purge its Instagram content was noted when users attempting to access Planned Parenthood’s page found no posts or stories. This has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation.

But Planned Parenthood has been radio silent on why.

Planned Parenthood merely posted a pair of eyes on a black background on its Instagram story with no explanation.

While no official statement from Planned Parenthood directly addresses the Instagram purge, the timing suggests it might be a preemptive measure against an increasingly conservative legislative push to defund anything related to killing babies in abortions.

“For the sake of the American people and generations yet unborn, the time has come for the United States to finally defund the largest abortion provider in America,” Tim Chapman, president of Advancing American Freedom, wrote in a letter to Elon Musk asking DOGE to defend it.

Planned Parenthood abortion centers received nearly $22 billion in HHS grants and $53 billion from public health programs from 2019 to 2021, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.

The scrubbing of Instagram might also be a response to the intense scrutiny Planned Parenthood has faced for flouting health and safety laws, pushing abortions up to birth and trying to overturn pro-life laws states have passed since Dobbs.

Whatever the reason, pro-life Americans will continue pushing for full defending of America’s biggest abortion business.

I’m sure there are ways to recover such posts. Trump’s new friend Mark Zuckerberg might help or the NSA.

The wayback machine is a true “time machine”.

If you can identify the url with a search then all past website versions come to life.

That said—it looks like some websites still work.

If you need to find an abortion clinic they can help!:

Just out of curiosity are they some rogue agency not subject to any Presidential authority?

About a month ago I did the math and we’re paying about $1400 for each abortion. Whether we want to or not. They’ve made us participate.

Irregardless of the scrubbing, defunding PP just seems like another insanely obvious thing to do. People can kill their own babies on their own dime, without my being forced to fund it against my will.

Let’s not forget about IPP (International Planned Parenthood) which is the exporting of the Abortion Industry, funded by the American tax payer, every time there is a Dem president. President Trump flipped the switch on this (the Mexico City Policy) his first few days in office.

“Hey DOGE, don’t forget to look under the rock of IPP”! Any wonder why so much of the outside world looks at us as the great Satan? We fund their abortions whenever a Dem president is in office. We export the “industry”.
