What’s at Stake if Congressional Republicans Let Planned Parenthood Get Millions on America’s Birthday

George Caldwell | Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell

On America’s 250th anniversary, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of abortions, will once again be eligible for federal funding after a year-long ban that coincided with the closure of dozens of abortion clinics.

Some members of Congresss, like Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, have promised to do everything they can to prevent the resumption of Planned Parenthood funding.

“I will work with my Republican colleagues to figure out how we can extend this provision,” Ricketts told the Daily Signal. “Allowing taxpayer dollars to fund abortion is an assault on America’s values.”

On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, which prohibited Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood for one year. The deadline to extend the funding prohibition is now only a little over a week away, and many Republican senators have said they don’t support a third reconciliation package, the most realistic vessel for extending the defund.

Trump told the Daily Signal last month that Planned Parenthood funding is a “thorny issue.”

On Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Allison Schuster told the Daily Signal in a statement, “Through the President’s One Big Beautiful Bill, Congress was able to rightfully restrict funding for Planned Parenthood and other large abortion providers this past year. The Trump administration will continue to hold Planned Parenthood and all recipients of Federal funds fully accountable for any and all instances of waste, fraud, or abuse.”
