Kristan Hawkins to Congress: Every Member of Congress Just Got an “F” for Failing to Keep Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion out of our Federal Healthcare Spending

WATCH HERE: Hawkins’ July 4th Message to America as We Need to Keep the Pressure On to fix this before Congress Goes out of Session

“The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ signing last year on the Fourth of July started a countdown clock leading to yesterday’s financial tragedy,” said Students for Life’s Kristan Hawkins. “Because Congress did not act to keep the cuts in place, Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion received a gift from federal taxpayers on America’s 250th birthday – access to hundreds of millions in scarce Medicaid dollars. We are calling on Congress to get busy to replace the ‘F’ they got yesterday on the Pro-Life Generation Report Card by earning extra credit with action before Congress goes out of session. The bottom line, pro-life voters want to see healthcare money invested with those who intend for their patients to survive with their lives and fertility intact.”

WASHINGTON D.C. (07-05-2026) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins just sent a nationwide video message to voters, asking them to join her in demanding that Congress act now to continue directing healthcare spending from those who end lives to those who save them. SFLAction’s voter outreach between now and Election Day will continue to call for the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion in Medicaid spending and for the Trump Administration to fast track debarment of Planned Parenthood. Debarment is a process for reviewing an abortion vendor to see whether they can be found “unqualified” and then fired.

LEARN MORE about debarment in Hawkins’ letter to the Small Business Administration, where an investigation of Planned Parenthood is underway.

While usually a score letter is tied to a specific vote for Members of Congress, SFLAction changed the rules of the game and warned members in June that they will score whether the GOP met the July 4th deadline, with a provision in place to fix that low grade. 

The letter reads as follows:
