BREAKING: Planned Parenthood To Lose Over $1 Billion of Federal Funding Due To Passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill!

Want to know why the Democrats hate the Big, Beautiful Bill so much?

There are probably multiple reasons, but I think this is one of the biggest: it deals a significant blow to the killing of babies, and Democrats love killing babies more than almost anything else.

But thanks to President Trump, Planned Parenthood was just dealt a major blow:

Here’s a quick summary of some of the nitty-gritty details:

• The bill includes a provision to defund Planned Parenthood from federal Medicaid reimbursement for one year, reduced from an earlier 10‑year proposal per Senate parliamentarian rules.

• This measure could end funding for almost 200 clinics, potentially affecting over 1.1 million Medicaid patients, especially those relying on contraception, STI testing, and cancer screenings.

• The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates this defunding strategy might increase the deficit by around $52–300 million over ten years, since other providers may not fill the gap.

• Supporters, including the White House and pro-life groups, hail it as a moral victory over abortion funding, seeing it as aligning taxpayer dollars with their values.

By their own admission, here’s how bad Planned Parenthood thinks it will be for them:

The Catholic Herald added:

The Bill had initially aimed to block Planned Parenthood’s federal funding for a decade; however, the Senate’s parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, intervened. She found that the long-term defunding provision violated budget reconciliation rules, prompting Republicans to revise the bill’s language and shorten the ban to one year. After these changes, the Parliamentarian allowed the Planned Parenthood measure to remain in the package, clearing the way for a final Senate vote.

The budget package now returns to the US House of Representatives, which must approve the Senate’s changes before the Bill can become law. The House had narrowly passed its initial version of the legislation in late May by just a single vote, with every Democrat and two Republicans opposed. If House leaders cannot gather enough votes to pass the Senate-amended bill, the measure may have to be resolved by a joint conference committee of both chambers.

Taxpayer money is already prevented from directly paying for abortions through the Hyde Amendment. Nonetheless, Planned Parenthood still receives large government subsidies each year for other services, thereby bolstering the United States’ single biggest abortion provider. Government data shows that Planned Parenthood received more than $1.7 billion in public funds over 2019 and 2021. The organisation’s latest annual report recorded nearly $800 million from taxpayers in a single year, accounting for almost 40 per cent of its total revenue.

US Catholic bishops have applauded the budget provisions aimed at ending indirect abortion subsidies. In May, Bishop Daniel Thomas of Toledo and Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester commended the House’s inclusion of a ban on Planned Parenthood funding, insisting that Americans should not be forced to subsidise abortions or gender-transition procedures with their tax money.
