A Golden Opportunity to Destabilize Planned Parenthood

On July 5, federal funding for abortion providers like Planned Parenthood is set to resume. Trump’s spats with Senate Republicans over the last several months have delayed action to defund Planned Parenthood, and it is unclear if Republicans can or want to pass a third reconciliation bill to defund it before the midterms.

But new tax information about Planned Parenthood’s affiliates shows that abortion providers are facing tremendous financial vulnerability. The back of the nation’s largest abortion provider could be broken — and nationwide abortion numbers tangibly reduced — by decisive action this summer, before Republicans potentially lose one or both congressional majorities this November. Pro-lifers from the White House and Capitol Hill must work together to capitalize on this precious opportunity.
