Planned Parenthood Hits Record 400,000 Abortions: Why the Pro-Life Win Is Slipping Away
The nation’s largest abortion mill, Planned Parenthood, released its annual report recently, and it was a banner year for the abortion giant, setting a record of over 400,000 abortions.
During the period covered by the report, Planned Parenthood received more than $2.1 billion in total revenue, with about 40% of that coming from taxpayers. The report reflects a time before the “One Big Beautiful Bill” temporarily defunded them for one year. But as we warned when the Senate reduced that defunding from 10 years to one, it would be short-lived. That provision expires in July, unless Congress includes it in reconciliation 2.0, which begins in the Senate this coming week as lawmakers return from the Easter recess.
However, Congressional leaders have made clear that reconciliation 2.0 is focused on ending the prolonged shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, making sure the entire department is funded, including immigration enforcement. With the GOP’s historically slim 218-214 majority in the House, leadership must keep nearly the entire conference unified. That leaves little room for additional priorities, meaning the bill will likely be narrowly focused and not include the defunding of the abortion giant.
So where does that leave the roughly two-thirds of Republican voters who identify as pro-life? The faded, brittle confetti of pro-life victories from five years ago offers little consolation amid a growing string of setbacks. What began as a 10-year defunding effort was reduced to one and is now about to expire. And earlier this month, the Trump administration effectively stepped back from the fight to remove Title X funding from abortion chains.
But there is more.
