Pro-Life

By Chuck Donovan, LifeNews - The federal government, and up to 18 state governments, are inching their way toward Medicaid defunding of affiliates of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, for many decades the nation’s premier funder and supplier of abortion... The battle has shifted back and forth over that time thanks to changes in the party holding the White House and statehouses. But it has been drawn out for another key reason, and that is the early and wily decision by Planned Parenthood’s leadership and allied groups to promote passage of multiple public funding streams that aid their programs.

By Elise DeGeeter, LifeNews - The Trump administration has restored millions in Title X funding to Oklahoma and Tennessee, two states previously cut off under the Biden administration for refusing to provide abortion referrals... In 2023, Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) revoked funding after labeling the states’ pro-life services “out of compliance” with federal rules, as CatholicVote previously reported.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the City of San Antonio on Friday, because the city illegally used taxpayer money to fund abortion travel, in violation of state law and the Texas Constitution... The lawsuit, filed in Travis County District Court, points out that San Antonio appropriated $100,000 in taxpayer funds to support abortion travel that results in killing babies, including airfare, gas reimbursements, hotel stays, and other costs. Paxton argues this allocation undermines Texas’ strict abortion laws, which ban nearly all abortions except in cases where a pregnant woman’s life or major bodily function is at risk.
