House passes bill defunding Planned Parenthood
The US House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly passed the reconciliation bill, which includes a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.
The vote in favor of the bill was 215-214, with every Democrat on the floor voting no. Republican Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky also voted no, and Republican Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland voted present. The bill now heads to the Senate for approval.
“Now, it’s time for our friends in the United States Senate to get to work, and send this Bill to my desk AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!” President Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday morning. “There is no time to waste.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the goal is to have the bill on Trump’s desk by the Fourth of July. The Senate will consider the bill under budget reconciliation rules, which require a simple majority to pass rather than the typical 60 votes.
Last year, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, received $800 million in taxpayer funding, but since Trump took office, pro-lifer leaders have been pushing for Congress to defund the abortion giant.
According to Planned Parenthood’s 2022-2023 annual report, it kills 402,000 babies a year (1,076 preborn children every day) in the United States through various methods of abortion that may include the abortion pill, D&C suction abortion, D&E dismemberment abortion, or induction abortion using a feticide to cause cardiac arrest. This equates to nearly 45 children every hour, and one every 80 seconds. According to that report, Planned Parenthood commits 40% of all abortions in the U.S.
In addition, as taxpayer funding and abortion have increased for Planned Parenthood, STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, Pap tests, and breast screening services have all declined.
