Today, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced theEnd Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers Act.Thebillwould defund Planned Parenthood and abortion providers across the nation.
“Americans have long made it clear that they oppose taxpayer-funded abortions. But the Biden Administration has plowed forward, ensuring that Planned Parenthood and its affiliates receive tens of millions of dollars annually in federal grants,”Senator Hawley said.“It’s high time we ended federal support for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. My legislation defends the unborn and upholds the will of the American people.”
President Trump established the “Protect Life Rule” in 2019 to prohibit taxpayer dollars from going toward Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide or refer for abortions. As a result, Planned Parenthood was successfully blocked from receiving $60 million in federal funding. Upon taking office, however, the Biden Administration immediately rescinded this rule and has worked relentlessly to embolden the abortion industry over the past four years.
