Republicans can't squander this opportunity to defund Big Abortion

Republicans should take advantage of their Congressional majority and defund Big Abortion.......                    ...                        ...This week, members of Congress are getting a visit from hundreds of pro-life constituents from across the country, coming to Capitol Hill to urge them to defund You are not allowed to view links.

Now is the time to get it done, and the way to do it is in the upcoming budget reconciliation bill. Reconciliation is a complicated process, but the key is, these bills can pass the Senate with a simple majority rather than the usual 60 votes needed to break a filibuster. With a complete GOP majority in Washington, this is a huge opportunity we cannot squander. ......Americans overwhelmingly support cutting back out-of-control You are not allowed to view links.

They ended the lives of nearly 393,000 unborn children in a single year, according to their last annual report, or about 40% of abortions in the U.S. – a number that could fill Times Square to capacity ten times. 97% of the time a pregnant woman walks into Planned Parenthood, she's sold an abortion rather than helped to keep her child or make an adoption plan. Many Planned Parenthood employees even straight-up admit their center doesn't do prenatal care or offer ultrasounds apart from abortions: "It's called Planned Parenthood, I know it's kind of deceiving." ......While Planned Parenthood provides fewer and fewer cancer screenings, abortions and income keep setting records. Some of their billions in assets comes from wealthy, elite funders. Some has come from the barbaric harvest and sale of baby body parts for "research." More than a third of their income is from – guess who? – taxpayers. In 2023, their taxpayer funding amounted to almost $700 million or $2 million a day, with a significant chunk coming from Medicaid.  ......And you didn't even get a "Thanks." ......A bombshell report in The New York Times, of all outlets, reveals the stark horrors and incompetence Americans are getting for their money: botched abortions that are lethal for babies and put women's lives at risk.

In the 2024 election cycle, they spent almost $70 million lying about pro-life Republicans and pushing to enshrine all-trimester abortion in state constitutions, not including the many millions spent by local affiliates or their PAC. They are political radicals, consistently backing far-Left Democrats like Kamala Harris – the first presidential candidate to campaign at a Planned Parenthood abortion center. In Florida, they allegedly gave the Harris-Walz campaign office space, potentially illegally. ......The majority of Americans nevertheless rejected Planned Parenthood's no-limits abortion agenda – yet Big Abortion continues attacking President Trump and his administration. ......In his first term, President Trump's Protect Life Rule stopped $60 million in taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, because their business is abortion, not health care or planning for parenthood. But around half a billion dollars a year comes to them from Medicaid, which must be addressed by Congress through legislation. ......The pro-life movement is united around defunding Big Abortion, with a coalition of more than 150 national and state pro-life leaders – representing all 50 states – encouraging members of Congress to act on their mandate to root out corruption. The Republican Congress shouldn't miss this priceless opportunity to fulfill a promise and deliver a huge win for all Americans. ...
