Washington, D.C. – A Massachusetts federal judge has expanded her order in Planned Parenthood v. Kennedy forcing taxpayers to fund all Planned Parenthood facilities nationwide, instead of a select few, doubling down on unilaterally blocking the One Big Beautiful Bill that stopped forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion. Every day the order remains in effect, Planned Parenthood continues to rake in millions from American taxpayers.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America slammed the ruling in a statement:

“An activist judge just issued a ruling full of falsehoods about abortion giant Planned Parenthood in a desperate effort to keep forcing taxpayers to prop up Big Abortion,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America. “Every day this order stands, Planned Parenthood continues to rake in millions of our tax dollars, fueling thousands of unborn lives ended daily and putting women at unacceptable risk of serious harm and even death. Women have better and more comprehensive alternatives with community health centers outnumbering Planned Parenthood facilities 15 to 1. We look forward to the Trump administration swiftly stopping this lawfare and restoring the historic victory secured through the One Big Beautiful Bill.”

In addition, the group debunked several blatant falsehoods the judge cited in her ruling:

• MYTH: Women have “no feasible alternative” to Planned Parenthood.
• FACT: Women have access to thousands of affordable, holistic community-based health clinics that outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities 15:1 nationwide, without having to subject themselves to the coercive, ‘conveyor belt’ style of Planned Parenthood facilities.

 

• MYTH: Defunding Planned Parenthood causes unintended pregnancies by decreasing access to contraception.
• FACT: According to Planned Parenthood’s annual report, contraceptives services are down 38% since 2013. Contraception is widely available elsewhere.

 

• MYTH: Planned Parenthood is a significant provider of primary care.
• FACT: Planned Parenthood’s limited services beyond abortion are on the decline: they don’t do mammograms; total cancer screenings have dropped by 54%, including declines of 61% for breast exams and 54% for pap tests since 2013.

 

• MYTH: Abortions make up only 4% of Planned Parenthood’s “services.”
• FACT: In 2022-23, women seeking pregnancy-related help at Planned Parenthood were sold an abortion 97% of the time. They received prenatal services, miscarriage care, or adoption referrals 3% of the time.

 

• MYTH: Defunding Big Abortion, led by Planned Parenthood, will cause more sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to go undiagnosed and untreated.
• FACT: A New York Times investigation found a pattern of negligence at Planned Parenthoods nationwide, including an affiliate operating 23 facilities across several states that failed to log and follow up on STI test results, leading to patients who wrongly thought they tested negative when they never heard back.

 

 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.
