Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s exciting announcement in their recent Wall Street Journal op-ed excited the pro-life movement and our very own Students for Life of America (SFLA) President Kristan Hawkins.

The potential of the newly announced Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cutting $300 million cut from Planned Parenthood sounds terrific to the Pro-Life Generation (PLG), and Hawkins didn’t hold back from saying as much in her recent episode of The Kristan Hawkins Show.  

WATCH:

SFLA has long called for Planned Parenthood to “fund themselves” because, contrary to what some may believe, abortion is not just a state’s issue – it’s a federal issue since our taxpayer money goes towards it, regardless of whether that taxpayer is pro-abortion or pro-choice.  

Some people also espouse that Planned Parenthood does “so much more than abortions,” like pap smears, birth control, etc. However, as Hawkins breaks down in her recent podcast episode, this is untrue. Hawkins notes the following in her episode: 

  • Breast exam services declined nearly 62% from 882,961 in 2006 to 336,614 in 2016. 
  • Pap tests decreased nearly 74%, from 1,070,449 in 2006 to 281,063 in 2016. 
  • Cancer screenings plummeted 67% from 2,007,371 in 2006 to 660,777 in 2016.  
  • Contraception services dropped by over 32% from 3,989,474 in 2006 to 2,701,866 in 2016. 
  • The organization’s overall services decreased nearly 10% from 2006 to 2016. 
  • The organization shuttered more than 280 facilities from 2007 to 2017. 
  • Planned Parenthood lost over 700,000 patients, dropping nearly 23% from 3.1 million in 2006 to 2.4 million in 2016.  

However, despite this decrease in services, Planned Parenthood saw an increase in taxpayer funding, a large portion of its budget—a 61% increase between 2006 and 2016, to be exact. Additionally, private donations increased by nearly 106 %. Fast-forward to 2023, and coerced taxpayer funding rose to $699.3 MILLION.
