Trump Admin Defunds 16
Planned Parenthood Abortion Centers
in 9 States
National | Joshua Mercer | Apr 1, 2025 | 9:06 AM | Washington, DC
The Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars from Planned Parenthood facilities, according to an exclusive breaking news article published by POLITICO on the evening of Monday, March 31.
According to POLITICO, nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that receive federal money from the 55-year-old Title X family planning program received a letter on Monday announcing that their funding is being “temporarily withheld” for “possible violations” of federal civil rights law and President Donald Trump’s executive orders — including prohibitions on the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Funding is also being withheld, according to the article, because the organization “overtly encourages illegal aliens to receive care.”
“HHS is giving Planned Parenthood 10 days to provide evidence that it will comply with the Trump administration’s executive orders, and will inform the group after that whether the grants are suspended or terminated,” POLITICO explained.

Pro-Life Senators Want to Stop Using Aborted Babies for Research
Life News --National--Grace Porto
Mar 17, 2025--8:42AM--Washington, DC
​
Pro-life senators this week reintroduced legislation that would ban trafficking aborted children’s body parts and forbid the government from promoting research on fetal tissue from abortions.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., and Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss., on March 12 brought back the Protecting Life and Integrity in Research Act, Kennedy’s website reports.
​
The act would prevent all federal departments, agencies, and offices from approving, conducting, or funding research that involves tissues from aborted children.
It would also create a full ban on soliciting or accepting tissue that was taken from an unborn baby after an induced abortion.
“There are ethical and scientifically valid ways to conduct fetal tissue research without relying on the body parts of aborted babies,” Hyde-Smith stated. “Yet, the federal government currently spends millions of our taxpayer dollars each year funding research that uses tissue from abortions, furthering the dehumanizing practice of fetal tissue trafficking.”

Supreme Court Ruling Leaves Idaho Abortion Ban in Place to Protect Unborn Babies
Steven Ertelt | Jun 27, 2024 | 10:58AM | Washington, DC
​
The nation’s highest court issued a ruling in a case today where the Biden administration wanted to force Idaho to expand abortions. Instead, the Supreme Court ruled that the case needs more time at the lower court level before it can weigh in on the merits.
As a result, the Idaho abortion ban is still in place and
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court sent Moyle v. United States and Idaho v. United States back to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to hear oral arguments on the case.
The opinion is what is known as a DIG, which is “dismissed as improvidently granted.” The High Court is not taking either side but saying that the case should have been allowed to proceed further below before the Supreme Court decided to address the issue.
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “This order means that the case returns to the Ninth Circuit, which had ordered that the appeal of the preliminary injunction be decided by the full court on an expedited basis without any further briefing. The abortion ban currently remains in place in Idaho, except for those in emergency room situations.”
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court admitted to mistakenly publishing a document online concerning a pending abortion case. Bloomberg Law obtained the document before it was promptly taken down from the website.
According to Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe, the document was “inadvertently and briefly uploaded” to the court’s website. McCabe clarified that the ruling itself “has not been released.”
It remains unclear whether the document was a draft decision, the final decision, or something else entirely. Either way, Bloomberg said it appeared the Supreme Court is going to side with Biden officials in their attempt to force Idaho to allow abortions above and beyond that it’s law allows.
