One Big Beautiful Bill Act Defunds Big Abortion of ~$500 Million
 Washington, D.C. – Democrat attorneys general from 22 states and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro dropped a lawsuit today to block the One Big Beautiful Bill’s provision stopping Medicaid funding to abortion facilities. The litigation comes right after one activist Massachusetts judge unilaterally blocked the measure yesterday in a suit brought by Planned Parenthood.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of America’s leading political pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, blasted the Democrats in a statement:
“This assault on democracy shows just how extreme the Democrats have become on abortion. The party of safe, legal and rare is now the party of forcing taxpayers to prop up Big Abortion’s death facilities with their hard-earned money. This bill was passed by our elected representatives and signed by President Trump. Yet, rather than respect the democratic process, Democrats are once again running to activist judges to impose lawfare on Americans with their extreme abortion agenda. They will not prevail.
“Let’s be clear: this lawfare is about protecting Big Abortion’s bottom line and the campaign contributions Democrats rake in from Planned Parenthood. In 2024, Planned Parenthood spent almost $70 million trying to elect Democrats and impose woke policies. In turn, these same Democrats push extreme abortion agendas that hurt women and end the lives of over 1.1 million unborn children each year. Gov. Shapiro presides over a state where abortion complications have tripled and half of the state’s facilities flunk basic health inspections. AGs like Letitia James, Rob Bonta and Matthew Platkin have tried to increase the number of abortions sold in their states by shutting down pregnancy centers that provide real help to women in need. Americans are watching and this disgraceful campaign to protect the abortion industry at all costs will not stand.”
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
