Washington, D.C. – Today, the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act which stops forced taxpayer funding of the Big Abortion industry. SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser celebrated the news, saying:
“Defunding the abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, marks the greatest pro-life victory since the Dobbs decision. For the first time in history, Congress is halting forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion in the Medicaid program for one year. This will save lives and strip over $500 million from Big Abortion’s coffers. Combined with last week’s Supreme Court decision empowering states to do the same, this represents tremendous progress toward achieving a decades-long goal that has long proved elusive.
“For decades, Big Abortion has siphoned off billions in tax dollars to prop up a scandal-ridden industry built on abortion and partisan politics. Planned Parenthood alone commits over 400,000 abortions a year while services like cancer screenings continue to plummet — all while pocketing over $2 million every day from taxpayers.
“Women are far better served at federally qualified health centers, which outnumber Planned Parenthood locations 15 to 1 nationwide and provide comprehensive, accessible care to Medicaid recipients and families in need. This victory is a decisive step toward ending the abortion industry’s grip on our tax dollars and redirecting resources to places that truly serve women and their families.
“The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers a historic win on a critical priority: stopping forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry. We congratulate Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, Chairmen Guthrie, Crapo, Graham, and Arrington, and our allies in Congress for their tireless efforts to make this victory possible, and we look forward to President Trump signing it into law.”
