Following the signing of a new spending bill by former President Donald Trump, Planned Parenthood is set to lose close to $1 billion in federal funding. This reduction in taxpayer dollars is expected to result in the closure of nearly 200 Planned Parenthood facilities across the United States. The organization's CEO described the funding cut as "existential," highlighting the severe impact on abortion-providing services. The legislation, referred to in some reports as the "Big Beautiful Bill" or "OBBB," marks the first time federal funding for abortion providers has been significantly curtailed. In response, Planned Parenthood has announced plans to sue the Trump administration, arguing that the funding cuts imposed by the new tax and policy bill are unconstitutional. Supporters of the bill have characterized the funding cut as a victory for the pro-life movement, emphasizing that taxpayer dollars will no longer support abortion providers.
