Pro-Life Generation to President Trump:
“Please Tell Planned Parenthood, You’re Fired – Forever”
Kristan Hawkins on X: “Amazing, President Trump got defunding of Planned Parenthood done … yet many pro-lifers refused to vote for him. This is why we must always vote pro-life first!”
WASHINGTON D.C. (07-04-2025) — Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins made the following statement as President Trump signed the “Big, Beautiful” Budget Bill, which includes directing funds away from Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion for a period of one year (down from the 10 years in the U.S. House version of the budget altered by the GOP in the U.S. Senate): “The one big win in the one big bill puts to rest the one big lie that tells voters they are stuck supporting Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion. We have now proven that abortion vendors can and will be defunded. Planned Parenthood can be fired.
“The one-year pause in funding means that this debate could be renewed right before the midterm elections, which is a strategic mistake by the GOP, but we will take the cut as it will save lives. Just like during the Harris-Walz campaign, the abortion lobby and their friends in the media will likely use the election news cycle to bury the truth about abortion in a hurricane of misinformation and fearmongering. The Left’s favorite lie is that ending the lives of children in the womb and ending the fertility of gender-confused children with sterilizing, experimental ‘treatments’ must be funded. We will have our work cut out for us, to tell the truth in an abortion-saturated culture. But we’ve done it before, and our work on college and university campuses in all 50 states means we are uniquely on the front lines, working with the generation most targeted by an industry that profits when their fertility & families are stripped away.
“Everything non-violent that Planned Parenthood can do, Federally Qualified Health Centers can do better. Mr. President, we are asking you to finish this important work and direct your Administration to fully cut the ties between taxpayers and abortion vendors via debarment. They can ‘Go Fund Themselves.’ Please tell Planned Parenthood, ‘You’re Fired’ not for a year, but forever.
“The next step for this historic end to federal support of abortion is an investigation. The Small Business Administration must immediately begin investigating Planned Parenthood’s alleged illegal use of small business COVID relief funding & debar this disreputable abortion vendor wasting our time and money.”
