Trump Reportedly Planning to Freeze the Planned Parenthood Federal Funding Spigot
2025-03-27
[RedState] According to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday, the Trump administration is looking into turning off the federal funding pipeline to one of its most controversial recipients, the euphemistically named Planned Parenthood, as they investigate where the money is actually going.

The WSJ wrote:

The Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars in federal family-planning grants to certain organizations while it investigates whether the money was used for diversity efforts, people familiar with the matter said.

The groups that would be subject to the freeze, which include Planned Parenthood affiliates, were set to get about $120 million this year.

Founder and President of Turning Point USA Charlie Kirk weighed in on social media:

🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration is about to cut off federal funding to Planned Parenthood.

Between 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood performed 1.11 million abortions while receiving approximately $1.78 billion in federal funding. This is an average of $592 million every year or… pic.twitter.com/TG98fhqTtj

Kirk’s tweet continues:

Between 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood performed 1.11 million abortions while receiving approximately $1.78 billion in federal funding. This is an average of $592 million every year or over 40% of their revenue. Nobody is fooled: For Planned Parenthood, money is fungible. Federal funds help prop up the murder mills they operate all across America.

American taxpayer dollars must NOT be used to kill innocent unborn babies.

Republicans in Congress spent decades promising to do this, without delivering. Once again, Trump is getting it done.

Trump wants to make sure all the taxpayer money we give them isn’t going to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the poisonous ideology he has vowed to rid the federal government of. Conservatives have always been against funding abortion, however:

Planned Parenthood clinics in about a dozen states were set to receive roughly $20 million in family-planning grants this year.

During the freeze, the department plans to examine whether the funds were used for diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, the people said.

Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office directing his administration to scrub DEI efforts from all corners of the federal government.

HHS could later decide to fully rescind the grants or reallocate the money to other organizations.

The freeze would partially fulfill a longtime conservative goal of defunding Planned Parenthood because it provides abortions and advocates for abortion rights. In 2019, the first Trump administration moved to bar organizations that refer patients for abortions from receiving family planning grants. The Biden administration rescinded the rule.
Huge win!
