Last year, as part of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” Congress voted to end federal funding to big abortion providers for one year. Sadly, that year is coming to an end, and funding will be restored unless Congress acts.
In their recent report, Planned Parenthood stated that they received $832 million in federal funds last year. In addition to abortion, they now promote transgender agendas and anti-family political campaigns. In addition, Medicaid funds were misappropriated to pay for irreversible and unnecessary sex-denying procedures on minors.
To extend the freeze on abortion funding through Medicaid, it will have to be included in a Reconciliation bill before July 4. And because of all the differing voices that must agree in order to pass such a significant bill, that is a very short timeline.
Congress must not allow abortion providers like Planned Parenthood to have their funding restored in July. We cannot celebrate America’s 250th birthday by funding the organization responsible for the death of thousands of children.
ACTION: Use CWA’s Action Center to contact our South Dakota Congressional delegation and tell them that no taxpayer funds should go to organizations that perform or promote abortion. Our Action Center is easy to use. Simply indicate your name and address to access our Senators and Congressman and click on the pre-written message or write your own message. You may want to ask them to include a ban on mail-order abortion drugs.
PRAYER: Father, we thank You for Sen. Thune and that You placed him as the leader of the Senate. Please give him the wisdom and favor to rectify the situation in the Senate to promote righteousness in our nation. Help him bring respect for life into our government. “For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous You surround them with Your favor as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12). In Jesus’ name, Amen.
