We Must Make This Permanent. . .

Feb 10, 2025

We rejoice over our current victories, but unless we make permanent changes, these victories will be temporary. Four years ago, when Joe Biden took office, he wiped out nearly every one of Donald Trump’s executive orders with a few strokes of a pen. 

When Donald Trump returned to office just weeks ago, he issued a slew of executive orders reversing Joe Biden’s executive orders. 

The point is, executive orders often only last as long as the president who signed them remains in office.  

On January 25, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order to stop taxpayer funding of abortion. But, as demonstrated above, that policy will likely last only as long as Trump is in office — unless Congress makes these lifesaving provisions permanent by passing new budget-related laws that BAN taxpayer funding of abortion.  

In the past, some Republicans have shied away from the lightning rod issue of Planned Parenthood funding.  

Congress desperately needs to hear from you to hold their feet to the fire. Remind Congress why we sent them to Washington! Demand they PERMANENTLY Defund Planned Parenthood and all taxpayer-funded abortions nationwide and around the world! We have an opportunity to do this through the budget reconciliation process, which only needs the support of Republicans to pass. Demand Congress permanently defund Planned Parenthood now!

My defense of Sandra Merritt these last 10 years has been eye opening to say the least. We learned just how powerful the world’s largest abortion powerhouse truly is — especially in the political world. 

Sandra caught Planned Parenthood doctors and executives on film admitting to illegal, gruesome procedures — even birthing babies alive so they could be butchered while still breathing — to fund their evil and unlawful baby-parts-for-sale scheme. 

Not a single Planned Parenthood doctor or official was charged, let alone went to prison for the crimes they admitted to committing. Instead, the abortion powerhouse Planned Parenthood pushed to have SANDRA fined into bankruptcy and sent to prison for exposing their crimes. 

When Sandra’s videos came out in 2015, many in Congress talked about defunding Planned Parenthood but never took action. 

Since Roe v. Wade, more than 66 million American children have been murdered by abortionists, most of whom work for Planned Parenthood. 

As of 2023, abortions committed by Planned Parenthood alone were the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. Furthermore, abortion is the No. 1 cause of death worldwide — and we, the American taxpayers, are funding many of these murders!  

Last year, Planned Parenthood alone received over 700 million dollars in taxpayer dollars. 

And if Congress does not pass laws to permanently ban all taxpayer funding of abortion, we can be sure that the moment President Trump leaves office Planned Parenthood and other abortionists will once again be paid in U.S. tax dollars for murdering the innocent. 

Tell Congress: Stop using my money to murder children! Defund the abortion industry permanently!

As I announced just days ago, Sandra Merritt is finally free from the politically driven campaign to punish her for exposing Planned Parenthood’s crimes. 

After a near decade-long fight to save Sandra from millions in fines and 10 years in prison, my attorneys were able to get the State of California to drop all felony charges, fines, and prison time for Sandra. 

Thanks to YOU, Sandra is once again a free woman. But I cannot say the same for many preborn babies. Even under Republican leadership, their murders continue, their killers are protected, and their business is just waiting for hundreds of millions of dollars in government handouts.

It is time to end this permanently. It is time for Congress to act now to codify defunding Planned Parenthood. Help us demand this from Congress. DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT today with our Challenge Grant. 

God bless you for vigilantly defending the right to life.
