The Trump administration’s signature “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law last week, includes a provision pausing federal Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood for one year.
A new national survey shows that most American voters strongly oppose taxpayer funding for organizations such as Planned Parenthood that perform abortions and offer gender transition treatments to minors. The poll, conducted by CRC Research for the Life Leadership Conference, found 64 percent of registered voters disapprove of public funds going to groups that provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and related services to minors.
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," a comprehensive budget proposal that includes a provision to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood.
Key moderate Republicans are quietly pushing back against efforts to defund Planned Parenthood through the upcoming reconciliation package, according to sources cited by NOTUS. During a closed-door meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), lawmakers including Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Jen Kiggans (R-VA) reportedly voiced concern about using the budget process to cut Medicaid funding to the nation’s largest abortion provider.
