House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) promised this week that he will work to realize one of Republicans’ long-held goals: defunding Planned Parenthood.
Johnson announced Tuesday during a keynote speech for anti-abortion organization Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America that President Donald Trump’s economic agenda will include defunding “big abortion” — a disparaging phrase used by the religious right to refer to Planned Parenthood. Trump’s administration has been working with the House speaker to wrap his domestic policy agenda into “one big, beautiful bill,” as the president often refers to it.
“In the weeks ahead, the House is gonna be working on the one big, beautiful bill,” Johnson told the gala crowd. “We’re absolutely making it clear to everybody that this bill is going to redirect funds away from big abortion and to federally qualified health centers.”
This is the first time since Trump took office that Republican leadership in Congress has explicitly stated its plan.
Republicans have been trying to defund Planned Parenthood for decades, and the Trump administration has made it clear that one of its top priorities is to slash federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Most recently, the administration cut millions in family planning grants to the national reproductive health organization.
