Washington, D.C. – Ahead of next week’s markup of the budget reconciliation bill in the House Energy & Commerce Committee, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement:
“We urge President Trump, Vice President Vance, and congressional Republicans to stand up for American taxpayers and stop forced funding of the big abortion industry in the reconciliation bill. We will proudly score in favor of the ‘one big beautiful bill’ that includes this vital priority.
“President Trump and congressional Republicans included this effort in the 2017 reconciliation bill, and we have a historic opportunity to get the job done in 2025.
“Doing so is an extension of the work President Trump has already accomplished this term to stop taxpayer funding of the abortion industry abroad and reapplying the Hyde Amendment across government spending after Joe Biden brazenly ignored it.
“Planned Parenthood performs nearly 400,000 abortions per year while raking in $2 million per day, or nearly $700 million per year in taxpayer funding. During the 2024 election cycle they spent $70 million to try to defeat Donald Trump and Republicans up and down the ticket. They are a political juggernaut designed to protect their big abortion business and their hundreds of millions in tax dollars. President Trump and congressional Republicans can finally stop this.
“The good news is that women will receive better care at community health centers across the country that outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities by a 15:1 margin. They provide much more comprehensive care and do not perform abortions.
“It’s time to stand up for taxpayers who oppose forced funding of abortion and ensure women get better care that is more comprehensive and more available than Planned Parenthood.”
