URGENT: Meeting to Defund Abortion

Jun 2, 2025

As Congress returns today, the Senate will focus on the budget, including the defunding of Planned Parenthood, Big Abortion, and mutilating surgeries for children. The battle to pass will be intense.  

We know that two Republicans are pro-abortion Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). In addition, three more conservatives are publicly opposing this budget in an effort to lower spending levels Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Josh Hawley (R-MO). Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) can only lose three votes and still pass this budget, which defunds Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion for the next 10 years. Up to this point, Republicans have just been continuing the Democrats’ spending priorities with continuing resolutions, and this will happen again if we do not pass a stand-alone budget. 

Planned Parenthood is desperate to keep taxpayer money flowing.  

This is a pivotal point in the congressional budget process. What happens today and soon thereafter will determine not only the resolve of Congress on this issue but also their commitment and backbone to fight for core values.

Take action right now. Send your urgent faxes to Congress demanding they DEFUND Big Abortion TODAY.

This is one of the biggest opportunities we’ve had in years to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars from these big abortion providers. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

But there’s a serious problem standing in our way.

+ + A Dangerous Excuse from Inside the Republican Party

You’d think every Republican would support defunding Planned Parenthood. But that’s not the case.

A few key members of Congress — Republicans we need to pass this budget — are dragging their feet. Some want to kick the can down the road until after the midterm election to defund Planned Parenthood.

They hope to add more Republican seats to beef up their majority.

That is a deadly mistake.

Here’s the truth: Since 1969, only ONE TIME has the party in power actually gained seats in the midterms. Just once in 50+ years. And these members should KNOW THIS FACT.

They're not hoping — they're stalling.

Some care more about their party majority than about the babies our tax dollars will kill over the next few years! If these members do not govern properly, their party will become the minority party after the midterm elections.

Letting Planned Parenthood keep its funding now is not a strategic move. It’s cowardice. It’s a compromise. And it means hundreds of millions more taxpayer dollars to fund the death of innocent babies.

That’s why we must draw a line in the sand — TODAY.

We don’t need to wait. We need members to have a backbone.

And we need YOU to help give it to them. 

If members of Congress don’t hear from us on this TODAY, they might back down. That’s exactly what Planned Parenthood and their allies want to achieve.

The upcoming meetings will make or break the efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion. This is a moment of decision. This is where funding gets locked in — or locked out.

In the most recently released numbers, Planned Parenthood alone has been getting more than 2 million dollars every day from taxpayers like you. That’s about 800 million a year. And Planned Parenthood is going to fight defunding efforts every inch of the way.

And unless we step up and say NO — unless we flood Congress with thousands of messages right now — the deadly pipeline of taxpayer funding will continue.

At Liberty Counsel Action, we are leading this fight. We are meeting with members of Congress. We are drafting policy language to remove abortion funding from every part of the budget.

But we can’t do this alone. We need your voice and support.

The pro-abortion lobby has millions of dollars. They have the media. They have powerful allies in Washington, and those allies make some legislators afraid. Compromise and delay will backfire.

We are fighting some of the best-funded lobbyists on Capitol Hill. If we win this battle, we could finally take a massive step toward ending federal support for the abortion industry.

But if we lose — or if we wait a few years — the results will be deadly.

Please stand with us right now with your single gift or set up a recurring donation to help us hold Congress accountable today and in the future.

Together, we can stop funding this evil. But only if we act — and act now.
