Washington, D.C. – Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America celebrated as the House reconciliation bill, which stops forced taxpayer funding of the Big Abortion industry in Medicaid, passed and advanced to the Senate. The House bill stops the largest source of taxpayer dollars to abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood for 10 years, the maximum time allowed under bill rules.
“Today Congress took a big step toward stopping forced taxpayer funding of the Big Abortion industry. This is a crucial win in the fight against America’s #1 cause of death – abortion – and against waste and corruption,” said SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “While House Democrats lied and fearmongered throughout this process, the truth is women have real choices for their health care, with community health centers that offer far more comprehensive care outnumbering Planned Parenthood facilities 15:1 nationwide. Medicaid will be stronger for those who need it most. There is no excuse for forcing taxpayers to prop up a scandal-ridden industry that prioritizes abortions, gender transitions and partisan political activism instead of prenatal care, cancer screening and other legitimate health services that are in continual decline.
“We commend Speaker Johnson and House Republicans for standing strong to get the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed. We now urge the Senate to do its part, and both chambers to come together and get it across the finish line. More than 400,000 babies a year, their mothers, and countless American taxpayers are depending on you.”
The evidence is clear – Big Abortion harms women and girls, destroys unborn babies’ lives and is a terrible investment for taxpayers. Learn more here.
