Washington, D.C. – This morning, the Senate published updated text of the One Big Beautiful Bill after negotiations with the parliamentarian. The bill includes language to stop forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion for one year, as it did in 2015 and 2017. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America celebrated this key milestone:
“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that stops forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry has been retained in the Senate bill, as we were confident it would, though for one year. This is a huge win,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Taxpayers should never be forced to funnel their hard-earned dollars to Big Abortion. This funding currently hits almost $800 million annually. New polling shows Americans are horrified when they learn about the grossly negligent so-called ‘women’s health care’ offered by the abortion industry’s ringleader, Planned Parenthood, which is focused on abortions, transgender ‘treatments,’ politics and lawfare versus helping low-income patients. Women deserve real options, and with community health centers vastly more accessible and comprehensive, they have them.
“SBA Pro-Life America will proudly score in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill that delivers on a critical priority: ending forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry. We commend Leader Thune, who is a tremendous champion of life, Finance Committee Chairman Crapo, and their Senate GOP colleagues for their hard work through the reconciliation process. We will keep working with Congress and the administration to ensure Big Abortion continues to be excluded from taxpayer funding in future years. We urge the Senate and House to persevere to the finish line so President Trump can sign the One Big Beautiful Bill into law immediately.”
Reconciliation bills in 2015 and 2017 included a provision to stop funneling American tax dollars to Big Abortion for one year. The Supreme Court ruled this week in Medina that states are also allowed to defund Big Abortion. This year, Congress can finally stop funding for Big Abortion – an industry that harms women and girls, destroys unborn babies’ lives and is a terrible investment for taxpayers. Learn more here.
