The abortion industry historically has wielded incredible influence over American lawmakers, who have given the lucrative industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
But that has set up one of the more egregious offenses in the nation: the fact that Americans of faith, those who believe unborn children should not be killed wantonly, have been forced, through their taxes, to fund the very industry that violates their faith.
That, under President Donald Trump, could be changing.
In fact, a coalition of 150 key leaders and prominent organizations has written to Congress insisting that the cash flow to abortionists be turned off.
“Dear Members of Congress, In November, the American people gave a mandate – it is time for change in Washington. Since then, the White House is taking swift action to stop the Biden abortion agenda and cut government waste. A Republican trifecta presents the opportunity to bolster these efforts by cutting funding for Big Abortion, including Planned Parenthood, through budget reconciliation. Republican reconciliation bills in 2015 and 2017 included a provision to stop giving hard-earned American tax dollars to Big Abortion,” the letter explains.
“In 2025 it is even more urgent to cut funding for this industry that endangers women and unborn children and spends tens of millions of dollars to promote woke policies and candidates. Planned Parenthood and groups like it were among those first identified for cost saving measures by Elon Musk who singled them out in the Wall Street Journal last November. President Trump has already rolled back funding for abortion groups overseas, but Congressional action is necessary to stop the biggest source of taxpayer cash for the domestic abortion industry – Medicaid.”
Signatories on the letter included some of the biggest pro-life organizations and leaders in the nation: Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, ACLJ Action, American College of Pediatricians, Americans United for Life, CatholicVote, Liberty Counsel, Life Legal Defense Foundation, March for Life Action, Christian Defense Coalition, Christian Medical and Dental Associations, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Family Research Council, National Right to Life Committee, National Black Pro-Life Union, Students for Life Action, Thomas More Society, and pages more.
The letter outlined what members of Congress already knew: “Planned Parenthood reports raking in a total of $699.3 million, or almost $2 million per day, from American taxpayers in 2023 alone. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood’s most recent annual report boasted that they performed nearly 393,000 abortions – a 40% market share of the abortion industry in the U.S. Despite their claims to promote ‘women’s health,’ Planned Parenthood consistently opposes basic health and safety standards for their facilities. The New York Times recently reported a litany of unsafe conditions and botched abortions at Planned Parenthood. For example, in one clinic last year ‘sewage from a backed-up toilet seeped into the abortion recovery room for two days,’ which required employees to shove ‘exam table pads under the bathroom door to block the leak.’”
It’s time to stand for life.
The Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025 is moving forward in Congress—but it won’t become law without the support of your senators.

BREAKING:
The House just passed the reconciliation bill that includes DEFUND of Planned Parenthood.
This would strip those who commit abortions of all federal funds.
Senate—finish the job!

The letter explained, “While leaving patients vomiting from rank conditions, Planned Parenthood prioritized pouring millions of dollars into woke lobbying and trying to defeat Republicans in races from the school board to the presidency. Planned Parenthood boasts that their advocacy and political organizations spent a massive $69.5 million during the 2024 election cycle. Their massive pro-abortion political arm, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, pushes all-trimester abortions and promotes fearmongering lies that put women and girls at needless risk.”
The American Center for Law and Justice, one of the groups signing the “legal demand letter,” said, “We’ve defended pro-life counselors, volunteers, and healthcare workers, and we’ve fought tirelessly to see the day Roe v. Wade was finally overturned. Even now we are engaged in a legal battle with the state of Massachusetts to shut down its current state-funded multimedia smear campaign attacking pro-life Pregnancy Resource Centers in its own state. We’ve also created our own multimedia counter-campaign to drown out the state’s lies with the truth and help desperate mothers find actual options in a safe environment.”
But it said there’s more work, and the battle against “tax-dollar-gobbling abortion behemoths like Planned Parenthood – which grows richer and more powerful every year – is far from over.”
“As it shamelessly touted in its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood received over $792 MILLION in federal reimbursements and grants just last year. And they reported roughly $2 BILLION in revenue after aborting more than 402,000 babies. No matter how many times they say abortion is not their primary business, they’re lying – it is,” the ACLJ reported.
“No American taxpayer should have to watch the government hand over their hard-earned tax dollars to abortionists like Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions – especially pro-life Americans who, until now, haven’t been given a choice,” the report said.
