February 13, 2025 Russ Vought Director Office of Management and Budget 725 17th St NW Washington, D.C. 20503 Dear Mr. Vought: Congratulations on your recent confirmation to serve as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Last year, you wrote, “Defending life is the most important issue to me.” We could not agree more. We look forward to supporting your work in protecting Americans' hard-earned tax dollars from wasteful spending and funding abortions.

As OMB Director, we strongly encourage you to review all federal funding to Planned Parenthood and to take all legal steps possible to ensure that American taxpayer dollars do not flow to Planned Parenthood or any of its subsidiaries. In 2022, Planned Parenthood ended the lives of almost 400,000 babies, aborting more than 220 for each child they referred for adoption. American taxpayers should not be funding this. The number of abortions performed by Planned Parenthood has only continued to trend upward since 2010.

According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Planned Parenthood Federation of America affiliates received $148 million in HHS grants and $1.5 billion in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP payments. Planned Parenthood’s regional organizations received around $108 million in payments from these programs.

Shockingly, taxpayer dollars comprise 34% of Planned Parenthood’s overall revenue, and its taxpayer funding has soared more than 40% since 2010. Because money is fungible, and the Biden Administration removed key regulatory safeguards ensuring that Title X dollars are walled off from Planned Parenthood’s abortion services, American taxpayers are heavily footing the bill for abortions and keeping Planned Parenthood’s doors open.

We look forward to working alongside you to prevent American taxpayer dollars from funding abortions through Planned Parenthood. Respectfully, Tim Chapman Abby Johnson President CEO Advancing American Freedom And The There Were None and Prolove Ministries F.
