The Senate, with the help of Vice President J.D. Vance’s tiebreaking vote, voted on Tuesday to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, effectively defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood for one year.
The House version of President Donald Trump’s legislative package promised that no Medicaid dollars “shall be used to make payments to a prohibited entity for items and services furnished during [a] 10-year period.” The Senate version, however, cut that provision down to prohibit only twelve months of taxpayer-funded abortion.
In a last-ditch effort to protect Planned Parenthood’s flow of federal funding, Democrats tried to add a pro-abortion amendment to the BBB. The motion failed in a 49-51 vote on Monday evening.
During the same 2023-2024 period Planned Parenthood performed a record number of abortions — more than 402,000 — the abortion business collected nearly $800 million in taxpayer funds.
Planned Parenthood’s steady stream of taxpayer funding has no doubt contributed to its history of ending unborn lives (or botching its attempts to do so), allegedly flouting federal law and wasting tax dollars, dispensing castrating drugs to confused minors, reportedly trafficking baby body parts, enabling abusers, allegedly performing unlicensed procedures and violating health and safety standards, opposing free speech, and allegedly conducting procedures that have resulted in mothers’ deaths.
Terminating tax dollars from abortion businesses not only saves lives but opens the door for...

ONE YEAR??? Why not indefinitely?
Why is anyone supporting genocide against the human race? Not OK in Gaza, but OK in the United States?
Vasectomies and Tubal Ligations? Yes! Mandatory.
1 year? Really? Sounds like they wanted to toss a bone to the base. I wondered how murk could go along with it. If it was permanent she would have been a no and no amount of pork for AK could have swayed her.
Doesn’t make a lot of sense...Maybe I’ll google around.
You should run and put an end to it. See how far you get with it.
I’ll be waiting.
You people are never satisfied.
Love your tears by the way.😄
A lot of disappointments in this bill.
I guess the thought is...If they lose funding for just a year...the majority will close.
Just something to add to the drama about the debt ceiling; everybody on both sides can run to the TV cameras to assure their base that they are working hard to get stuff done.
It was a decent bill until the Senate f**ked it up.
I won’t complain, because it’s a start. Defunding PP has been very difficult so that’s what makes this a good start. People have all kinds of money for pleasures, therefore they can take respo sibility for the results of their own passions. If this proves to be effective at funding true health care, it will be easierto pass it again, and maybe for a longer period. Let’s hope.
JP? They can’t even read the script correctly.
The House should put it back
Only 1 year?! WTF?!
Well, it’s a start, I guess (plus hopefully many lives of babies saved).
Aren’t budgets good for a year? I think it’s been a while since Congress actually passed one.

Planned Parenthood Uses Partial-Birth Abortions to Sell Baby Parts

Planned Parenthood should rebrand itself to birth control pills and cardiac care.
ONE YEAR? Why only one year? Doesn’t make sense. How many RINOs are recipients of PP’s contributions to protect these baby murderers?
