With Reconciliation Dangerously Close to Finishing & Some Pro-choice Moderates in the GOP committed to funding abortion, the Call to Defund Planned Parenthood & Big Abortion Will Be Heard Nationwide

“President Trump, we’ve heard you loud and clear. But to end federal entanglement with the politically powerful abortion lobby we need to end the forced funding of abortion vendors, with Planned Parenthood front and center,” said Students for Life Action’s Kristan Hawkins. 

MEDIA ADVISORY: Watch the National Webcast HERE at StopAbortionFunding.org on Monday, May 12, at 11:30 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON D.C. (05-09-2025) – Students for Life Action (SFLAction) President Kristan Hawkins announced a national, emergency webcast at StopAbortionFunding.org rallying the grassroots to call members of Congress NOW as the federal budget process called reconciliation reaches its final days. Pro-life Champions who will ask voters nationwide to engage include: 

+ Kristan Hawkins, President, Students for Life Action

+ Marjorie Dannenfelser, President, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America

+ Penny Nance, President & CEO, Concerned Women for America

+ Lila Rose, President, Live Action

+ David Bereit, Executive Director, Life Leadership Fund

+ Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director and President, And Then There Were None

+ Surprise Political Guests, to be Announced.

“The Pro-Life Generation appreciates the commitment of so many GOP leaders who are fighting to do the right thing for families, by redirecting scarce taxpayer dollars away from abortion businesses to real, life-saving medical care. Forcing all Americans to be in business with abortionists wastes time and taxpayer money, as women could save a trip with one stop to a Federally Qualified Healthcare center,” noted Hawkins. “However, we know that several pro-choice Congressional Members now favor allowing the largest tax hike in American history to take effect…just to ensure their cronies at Planned Parenthood can continue to commit taxpayer funded abortions. Americans don’t want to be forced to prop up disreputable abortion business. We are underwriting their businesses – their personnel and costs – as they sell wrong-sex hormones to confused minors and abortions to vulnerable women.” 

Pro-Life Leaders joined together near the beginning of the process in March for a federal lobby day and event in front of the U.S. Capitol.
