Senate Bill Allowed to ‘Defund’ Planned Parenthood
UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – The Senate's budget bill includes a one-year Medicaid funding ban on Planned Parenthood, risking closure of 200 health centers and cutting nearly $800 million in taxpayer grants, advocates say.
- Following Elizabeth MacDonough’s decision, the defunding provision was scaled back from ten years to one year to comply with the Byrd Rule, allowing inclusion via reconciliation.
- Analysis confirms Planned Parenthood reported over 400,000 abortions annually, received nearly $800 million in taxpayer funds, and about 200 clinics in 24 states could close if defunded.
- Following the Senate vote, a Democrat-led amendment to fund Planned Parenthood was rejected 49-51, and the bill moves to the House for final approval.
- Procedural votes indicate the bill is on track for President Trump’s July 4 deadline, risking nearly 200 clinics nationwide closure.

A Pro-Life Agenda for the 119th Congress and the Administration
With a pro-life majority in both the House and the Senate, Congress can—and should—pursue a pro-life, pro-family agenda. But the numbers do not lie: The majority in the House is razor thin, and the majority in the Senate is not filibuster proof.
