The bill states any nonprofit that ‘provides for abortions’ and received more than $1 million in 2024 is off limits for future funding.
The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday night to pass a hefty spending bill that will significantly cut the flow of federal dollars to the organizations responsible for ending the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies each year.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is far from the perfect fraud and waste solution some claim it to be. It still adds $3.1 trillion to the national debt and includes provisions that explicitly protect aspects of taxpayer-funded healthcare. The legislation does, however, ensure none of those Medicaid dollars “shall be used to make payments to a prohibited entity for items and services furnished during a 10-year period.”
While the bill does not explicitly name Planned Parenthood as a “prohibited entity,” it does state that any nonprofit organization that “is primarily engaged in family planning services, reproductive health, and related medical care,” “provides for abortions,” and received more than $1 million in taxpayer funding in 2024, is off limits.
The abortion giant’s latest annual report shows it raked in nearly $800 million in taxpayer funds from 2023 to 2024. During that same period, Planned Parenthood also performed a record number of abortions — more than 402,000. --->READ MORE HERE
The Republican-led House of Representatives passed President Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" Thursday morning.
The chamber cleared the sprawling package with just one vote after marathon meetings, intense negotiations, and a series of last-minute changes. Two Republicans voted against the bill and there was no Democratic support. The vote on final passage in the House was 215-214.
The legislation extends the 2017 tax cuts and seeks to cut $1.5 trillion in spending including hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). However, it would infuse money to expand the military and boost funding to create a stronger border.
"What we're going to do here this morning is truly historic, and it will make all the difference in the daily lives of hard-working Americans. ... To put it simply, this bill gets Americans back to winning again, and it's been a long time coming," House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a floor speech before the vote.
The president visited the Capitol this week to urge divided Republicans, especially fiscal conservatives, to support the bill.
The bill's passage marks a major victory for Speaker Johnson who successfully pushed Republican holdouts.
"Nothing in Congress is ever easy, especially when you have small margins, but we are going to land this plane and deliver this and we're proud of what we've accomplished together," Johnson said Tuesday. "Every member of the conference can be proud of this legislation in the end. It's truly (a) nation-shaping piece of legislation."
Meanwhile, pro-life advocates are proudly celebrating the passage of the bill.
As CBN News reported, GOP lawmakers introduced a provision in the"Big Beautiful Bill" that would cut Medicaid funds from going to the abortion industry, including Planned Parenthood. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
