‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Becomes Less and Less Beautiful

By Katie Brown Xavios

STOPP already sounded the alarm that the budget bill does NOT fully defund Planned Parenthood and in fact would subsidize the organization to abort babies condemned in the exceptions clause. 

But it gets even worse. LifeSiteNews just published an article that details how, thanks to loopholes that are exploited by Democrats, Planned Parenthood will receive even more “backdoor funding” in the budget bill. 

A memo from House conservatives waves the red flag, stating, “While the House OBBB does prohibit Medicaid funding for abortion providers, organizations like Planned Parenthood will still receive backdoor funding in support of abortions and transgender surgeries via Medicaid money laundering schemes allowed under the provider tax safe harbor.”

According to LifeSiteNews, California and New York currently exploit a loophole, which the pending budget bill does not address, that allows them to inflate their own Medicaid subsidies, which they can then use to fund abortions and transgender drugs and surgeries. 

House conservatives are calling on the Senate to reject the budget bill. 

When lawmakers promised to defund Planned Parenthood, we expected them to follow through. The current budget bill is an embarrassment to the pro-life movement and a cheeky slap on the wrist for Planned Parenthood. 

Enough is enough. Defund Planned Parenthood. 

Planned Parenthood Facilities Are Closing Down across the Country: What Does This Mean for the Future of This Abortion Business?

By Katherine Van Dyke

NBC News reported last week that at least 20 Planned Parenthood facilities have closed or will close in 2025. The news outlet cited the Trump administration’s decision to freeze federal funding of Title X’s “family planning” funds to nine Planned Parenthood affiliates this spring as the main reason for these closures. The article mentions the various closures in 2025 so far, including in Michigan, Vermont, New York, and Minnesota—states that have supported abortion vehemently in their laws and that have little to no restrictions. The article also highlights the looming additional cuts the abortion giant could potentially experience if the Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill” passes, claiming that another 200 of the “roughly 600 Planned Parenthoods will be in danger.”

However, as American Life League’s Katie Brown Xavios stated in a recent press release, this “Big Beautiful Bill” is not quite the victory it is made out to be in our fight against Planned Parenthood, as it leaves plenty of opportunity for abortion under “exceptions” clauses. Additionally, LifeSiteNews reported this week that the bill allows loopholes for various states’ Medicaid subsidies, allowing for continual funding of abortion for abortion providers. 

As long as there are exceptions and loopholes to federally funding Planned Parenthood, the progress of defunding the most radical abortion organization in the country will be a short-lived one. Despite the title of NBC’s article, killing preborn children, deceiving women, providing contraceptives, and handing out gender-hormone drugs does not provide “basic health care” for anyone. We must call for cutting all the federal funding Planned Parenthood receives in Title X funds and Medicaid reimbursements.

While these facility closures are certainly a step in the right direction, there is even more to be explored here on what these facility closures truly mean for Planned Parenthood and its future. 

Coming soon! Stay tuned for a new report by STOPP about Planned Parenthood’s facilities.
