“Like we are saying in a new TV spot on FOX NEWS, Mr. President, it’s time to defund your political adversary – Planned Parenthood. Billions of federal tax dollars have been wasted on the nation’s number one abortion vendor, which has targeted preborn children and the GOP at every chance they get,” said Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins.

WASHINGTON D.C. (03-04-2025) – In advance of President Trump’s Congressional Address, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins said that the Pro-Life Generation (PLG) would be tuning in to hear news of President Trump’s plans on the human rights issue of our day – abortion – along with funding cuts that can save American lives. Hawkins noted: “Pro-life Americans voted for President Trump with hope for this generation and all to come, but we also want to learn about plans to defund Planned Parenthood, a mega abortion vendor masquerading as a healthcare provider, even though they offer less services and less real care. Frankly, if your healthcare kills people on purpose, you’re doing it wrong.”
As we reported in February. Students for Life of America (SFLA)launched a six-figure campaign on FOX, noting that the abortion mega vendor received nearly $700 million taxpayer dollars in their last annual report, money that could be spent in real healthcare locations that offer full-service care. But that’s not all. Family Research Council’s report “America’s Direct Deposit to Planned Parenthood” in 2022 noted that since 1993, Planned Parenthood has raked in $10.35 BILLION in total taxpayer funding. According to their most recent annual report, Planned Parenthood uses this funding in their operation that kills more than 1,076 babies every day, pumps gender-confused teens full of sterilizing hormones, and fuels its political operation to elect leaders who hate President Donald Trump and American taxpayers.
SFLA’s commercial is the latest in a series of cutting-edge spots, though our January spot, booked during the NFL season on ReachTV, was canceled at the last minute. The television commercial, called “Exposing Planned Parenthood,” noted that you could fill six-and-a-half football stadiums with the number of children whose lives were ended by Planned Parenthood. In the new spot, Hawkins is joined by Turning Point CEO Charlie Kirk and Isabel Brown, author and Conservative content creator, noting that millions have been lost funding President Trump’s political enemies.

“It’s never been more clear: Planned Parenthood is Trump’s political enemy, and you only have to look at the last election cycle to see how one-sided their political activism is. And now, the New York Times reports that horrifying conditions are an issue behind the closed doors of the nation’s number one abortion vendor. It’s time for Americans to use their collective voice to call on President Trump to stop pouring our taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, an organization that spends millions to elect pro-abortion politicians so they can keep ending precious lives in the womb,” said Hawkins. “A defunded Planned Parenthood is a win for all Americans, born and preborn, and a huge win for President Trump.”

In addition to the cancelled NFL commercial this January, Students for Life Action (SFLAction) ran another FOX News commercial campaign, DEMOCRATS FOR INFANTICIDE, last Fall. In the six-figure national ad buy, Students for Lifeillustrated the horrific records of former Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on late-term abortion and infanticide.

Key points from Planned Parenthood’s annual report in 2022-2023 compared to 2021-2022 prove abortion is a federal issue:
- Abortions rose to 392,715 from 374,155 lives ended. (About 40% of all abortions in the United States).
- Coerced taxpayer funding rose to $699.3 MILLION, from $670.4 million in 2021-2022, and up from $618.1 million in 2019-2022.
- 45 Planned Parenthood locations sold sex-manipulating, potentially sterilizing drugs – up from 41 in the previous report.
The abortion industry is no stranger to squeezing money from government programs. As the SFLA Vice President of Media & Policy Kristi Hamrick wrote:
“Abortion funding can be found in the budgets of the Department of Health and Human Services where healthcare policy and mandates of all kinds dictate spending, in Department of Defense and Education spending through school-based and international aid, proposed in the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act.
It’s found in funding to Planned Parenthood through Title X funds as well in grants from HHS as the U.S. Government Accountability Act notes. Abortion funding was even placed in the fine print of COVID relief, as though ending lives was part of saving lives. And this list is hardly definitive.”
The New York Times recently came out with an explosive bombshell report alleging poor health and safety standards, dwindling funds, and lack proper training for employees:

“Rather than putting needy women seeking care first, millions of dollars allegedly go toward playing politics and fighting in court. Despite distributing $899 million to affiliates to ‘deliver care,’ reportedly ‘none of it went directly to medical services.’ The New York Times stated that, ‘much of the national funding to affiliates went to legal support, public campaigns to expand abortion access and subsidies for patient navigators.’
Suddenly, it seems the mainstream media is catching on to what we have been reporting for years. Did Planned Parenthood think no one would report on what they do behind closed doors? Why has Planned Parenthood been so silent lately? And why did Planned Parenthood strip its Instagram?”
