Will Conduct Full Review
of Dangerous Abortion Pill

In a letter to pro-life Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary has committed to conducting a full review of the dangerous abortion pill – which has killed and injured countless women.
Makary made the commitment after Senator Josh Hawley sent a letter highlighting new research showing greater risks than the FDA currently acknowledges and urging Makary to reconsider his earlier statement that he had “no plans to take action.”
“As Commissioner of Food and Drugs, I am committed to conducting a review of mifepristone,” the FDA chief said in a letter to the senator, who highlighted it on X.

Catholic Bishops Shocked Everyone
with an Endorsement of a Key Trump Policy
June 1, 2025
The Catholic Church doesn’t often wade into politics. But when it does, they bring out the big guns.
​
Now these Catholic Bishops shocked everyone with an endorsement of a key Trump policy.
​
In a bold move to uphold human dignity and protect vulnerable populations, two leading U.S. Catholic bishops have praised recent Congressional efforts to advance a budget that prioritizes life-affirming values.
​
Their statements reflect a growing momentum to redirect taxpayer funds away from practices that undermine the sanctity of life and family, aligning with policies championed by President Trump’s administration.
Defending the Sanctity of Life
Bishop Daniel E. Thomas, chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Pro-Life Activities, and Bishop Robert E. Barron, chair of the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth, have enthusiastically endorsed provisions in the House budget reconciliation bill that cut federal funding to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.

Good News from the U.S. House
The U.S. Senate Must NOW Do Their Part
House-Passed Budget Bill
Defunds Planned Parenthood
May 22, 2025 by The Daily Signal
by Jacob Adams
​
House Republicans delivered on their promise to defund Big Abortion on Thursday by passing the budget reconciliation bill that has consumed Washington’s attention for the past three months.
​
In the bill, the House GOP removed Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the country. The effort had been supported by dozens of pro-life legislators from around the country.
​
The move is a monumental win for pro-lifers because Planned Parenthood receives more than one-third of its overall funding from the U.S. government through grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements. That translates to about $2 million per day, which taxpayers are on the hook for. Furthermore, taxpayer funding for the organization has been on an upward trajectory for about the past dozen years, having increased by 50% since 2013.

​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.”

USAID Defunds UN Population Control Group that Supported Coerced Abortion, Sterilization in China
March 14, 2025
Excerpts:
President Donald Trump’s administration recently defunded the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the group responsible for ushering in China’s notorious “one-child policy” in the 1970s.
CatholicVote Director of Government Affairs Tom McClusky supported legislation defunding UNFPA. He celebrated the change, which came on Feb. 26. UNFPA was the largest benefactor of the grift occurring at USAID, with hundreds of millions going to bolster groups promoting abortion in countries that did not want it,” McClusky stated March 14. “America needs to stop being a country that promotes the death of children overseas, to do that we need to defund UNFPA.”
