The US Senate voted 51-49 to block funding for Planned Parenthood in the 2025 budget legislation known as the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB). This vote effectively cuts nearly $1 billion in federal funding from the organization, marking the first time the BBB has excluded financial support for abortion providers. Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joined Democrats in supporting the amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, but the majority of Republican senators opposed it. Following the Senate's decision, Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging the constitutionality of the new multitrillion-dollar tax and spending law that excludes their funding. Pro-life advocates have hailed the funding cut as a historic achievement in protecting life and preventing taxpayer dollars from supporting abortion services.
