US EditionGOP Moderates Opposed to Defunding Planned Parenthood
- Moderate House Republicans, including Fitzpatrick, Lawler, and Kiggans, opposed adding a Planned Parenthood defunding provision to the 2025 reconciliation bill in a Tuesday meeting with Speaker Mike Johnson.
- Their opposition stems from concerns about preserving health services Planned Parenthood provides beyond abortion and the complexity such provisions add to the reconciliation package aimed at broad budget cuts.
- Johnson pledged to redirect funds away from abortion services toward federally qualified health centers, while some pro-life advocates want a complete federal funding ban on Planned Parenthood under reconciliation.
- Between 2019 and 2021, Planned Parenthood was allocated close to $2 billion in federal funds and carried out over one million abortions; however, the Hyde Amendment continues to prohibit the use of direct federal money for abortion services.
- The dispute highlights a narrow House GOP majority that needs unity, suggesting the defunding effort might face obstacles despite Johnson's pledge and Senate Republicans' larger margin.
