Pro-life lawmakers from across the country are demanding that Congress put an end to federal funding for Planned Parenthood, calling on Republicans to use their “trifecta” in Washington.
The letter, sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Speaker Mike Johnson, Idaho Senator Mike Crapo and Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie and signed by 183 legislators, urges Republican leadership to include a measure to defund “Big Abortion” in the budget reconciliation bill, which is scheduled for markups on Tuesday. Planned Parenthood rakes in tens of millions from taxpayers every year, according to its annual reports, while performing about 400,000 abortions between 2021 and 2022.
“As pro-life state legislators from across the country who are members of the National Pro-Life Leaders Network, we are deeply concerned with the way that big abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood prey on unborn children and hurt women, all while receiving hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers,” the letter, first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, reads. “With a Republican trifecta in Washington, it is time to use the budget reconciliation process to defund big abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.”
The letter also cites several cases of botched abortions that have occurred at Planned Parenthood and deteriorating conditions at the clinics that had disastrous results. In one case, a baby was never removed from a woman’s womb, and the woman later gave birth to the child who quickly passed away, according to The New York Times. At a Nebraska clinic in 2022 an abortion provider neglected to notice a woman was four months pregnant before inserting an IUD, leading her to deliver a stillborn baby just hours later.
“Planned Parenthood has regularly opposed basic health and safety requirements for their facilities, all while providing poor care,” the letter says. “Women deserve better than this. Women and girls can receive better and more comprehensive care at Federally Qualified Health Centers and community health centers that vastly outnumber Planned Parenthoods.”
The state of Missouri is currently suing Planned Parenthood for allegedly helping a man traffic a 13-year-old girl across state lines in order to receive an abortion without her parents’ knowledge.
“Pro life has always been a big issue for me; it’s something I believe down to my very core, and I have always been very disappointed that federal dollars go to support an organization like Planned Parenthood that is happily destroying life and babies,” Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Kathy Rap told the DCNF. ” I believe it is time to send a strong message to our congressional leaders, both in the House and Senate and to the administration, that the majority of the American people do not want to fund Planned Parenthood when women have other resources that they can seek out for funding for prenatal health and maternal health. I do not believe that most of our citizens want to support an organization whose main goal is to perform abortions.”
Planned Parenthood did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Got my vote!
Me? I’m Pro-Choice all the way. Let the baby choose! Guess what? Its going to chose to live. Every. Time.
I think I’ve been hearing this same thing ever since I’ve followed the news! Years ago the talk was defunding PP. I assumed it had been done.
This is what I love about our constitutional republic. It has 50 votes. California and North Dakota are pretty much equal.
NUKE UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOV'T "HEALTHCARE" (AKA DEATH PROTOCOL).
This is why I wish we could overturn the 17th. So that counties and districts in the various states could have some say in the election of their Senators, not just the largest cities in that state.
They can have a bake sale.
L
You and I are on the same page. Most people’s eyes sort of glaze over when I mention the 17th.
The whole point was supposed to be the short term house seats were simple majority, but the senate was a “higher” federal body and to be elected through representation. Now they’re not much more than long term house members, chosen by the mobocracy.
“Planned Parenthood rakes in tens of millions from taxpayers every year, according to its annual reports, while performing about 400,000 abortions between 2021 and 2022.” 400,000 in two years, I wonder what their total body count is now? I’m not sure I want to know, a lot of murdered babies.
Among the purposes of the 17A was to make the Senate more simpatico with the House.
To our national detriment, it worked.
Pre-17A, senators had to watch over their shoulders at what their state legislators supported because these were the men who could replace that senator with one of their own.
Today, the House of Reps is the farm team for senators. A real shame because they bring their antics along with them.
WTF with another two popularly elected reps per state anyway?
The Constitution acts upon both the people and the states. Simple republican theory demands state representation.
The 17A pulled the keystone from our Framers’ Constitution. I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.
"Legislators From Almost Every State Call on Congress to Defund Planned Parenthood"
Pro-life state legislators would have incredibly more influence with Congress as constitutional drafters had intended if it weren't for the repealable (hint) 17th Amendment (17A), popular voting for federal senators.
In fact, since the misguided Supremes went to the trouble to overturn Roe v. Wade to try to keep Trump from being reelected imo, the following should also have happened imo if it weren't for 17A.
Congress's ongoing abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) to support unconstitutional federal taxing and spending for subsidizing the politically correct "constitutional right" to murder unborn children to buy votes to try to keep elite desperate Democrats and RINOs in power would have been stopped imo.
Also, regardless that ordinary citizen patriots could theoretically have replaced all senators twice+ by now with true patriots from the time of Obama's first midterm election, Congress remains divided.
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime and desperately needs to be repealed along with 17A imo.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.
Of course, they could be bots...
<>I’m amazed we’ve lasted this long.<>
Trump is our last hope to lead the restoration of our institutions.
He is amazing, but he is one man.
We are where we are, with every democrat and too many pubbies who seek our destruction, thanks to the 17A.
Stop the abortion mills, and the loose women needing them make better choices. Like birth control, or self control.
The Government has no right to be in the business of killing babies.
Planned Parenthood is a Murder the innocent Company.
DEFUND IMMEDIATELY!
