Kristi Hamrick, vice president of media policy and Students for Life Action/Students for life of America, says the "Big, Beautiful Bill" defunds abortion providers.
"Planned Parenthood just came out with their annual report that said that taxpayers lost almost $800 million ($792.2 million) to them in the last fiscal year that they reported on," Hamrick relays. "That's an incredible amount of money."
39% of that "Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants" props up the abortion giant, covering their personnel, their business, their electric bill, and all the infrastructure of life.
"I think any one of us can know that if somebody paid 40% of our bills, they are really contributing to the health and the economic security of the operation," Hamrick submits.
She says taxpayers have long been forced into business with Planned Parenthood, which has gone through the paperwork to misdirect funds related to family planning, but then once women are there, they market abortion.
They also market sex-altering protocols and "all kinds of things that people don't really wish to support," she adds.
"In the Big, Beautiful Bill, in the base text of the language, it says that Planned Parenthood and abortion vendors cannot participate in our healthcare program, specifically Medicaid, for a period of 10 years," the pro-lifer explains.
People could go to federally qualified healthcare centers that accept Medicaid dollars, which means women will not lose their healthcare, but Planned Parenthood will lose the opportunity to sell abortion.
The multi-trillion-dollar legislation seeks to make a dent in the federal government's spending trajectory by cutting roughly $1.5 trillion in government spending elsewhere. The U.S. government is over $36 trillion in debt and has spent $1.05 trillion more than it's collected in the 2025 fiscal year, according to the Treasury Department.
The House aimed to approve the president's proposal by Memorial Day and did so May 22 in a vote of 215 to 214 with just two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie (Kentucky) and Warren Davidson (Ohio), voting against it. All Democrats voted against the bill as well, and House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-Maryland), voted "present."
The Senate plans to finish its process by Independence Day.
Hamrick describes the bill's progress as an extraordinary victory to date.
