Planned Parenthood Transes Children. Congress Must Defund Them.
TOPLINE: Congress can defund Planned Parenthood NOW -- but Republicans are dragging their feet. Planned Parenthood is the leading abortion provider in America and increasingly a leader in “transitioning” children.
Here’s The Truth About Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood Transes Children: • Live Action just released an undercover report exposing that Planned Parenthood is prescribing cross sex hormones for minors with same-day prescriptions via virtual appointments.
o WATCH: Lila Rose's Shocking Report. • Planned Parenthood calls itself “the 2nd largest provider of hormone therapy” in America. • Nearly 450 Planned Parenthood clinics offer transgender services with 45 of 49 Planned Parenthood affiliates providing “gender-affirming hormone therapy.”.
Planned Parenthood Provides Thousands of Dangerous Chemical Abortions Every Year: • EPPC just released the largest study ever on chemical abortion. • The report found that:
o 10.93% of women taking the chemical abortion pill experience adverse events, including sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, or a different severe complication. o That chemical abortion is 22x more dangerous than the reported 0.5% level.

Planned Parenthood Receives Billions in Taxpayer Funding Every Single Year: • Planned Parenthood received $148 million in HHS grants and $1.5 billion in Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP payments with its regional organizations receiving $108 million. • Last fall, Planned Parenthood’s political arm spent $40 million trying to influence the outcome of the election. . . . . .
Defunding Planned Parenthood Actually Saves Money for Taxpayers: • Despite what the Congressional Budget Office wants you to believe, defunding Planned Parenthood actually saves taxpayer dollars. • In June of 2022, Sen. Mike Lee and the Joint Economic Committee issued a report debunking the absurd claim that abortion is good for the economy and found that the loss of lives from abortions costs the American economy trillions of dollars every year.

BOTTOMLINE: There is no reason that American taxpayers should continue to foot the bill for Planned Parenthood’s reckless abortion and gender transition at all costs attitudes. Republicans in Congress must stand up and finally defund Planned Parenthood once and for all.
