Congress is in the midst of a huge budget battle that will determine an up or down vote on abortion and more
On May 4, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees released the text of a nearly 72 billion-dollar reconciliation bill. Reconciliation allows bills to pass the Senate with a simple majority instead of the 60 votes usually required.
The Senate will then “mark up” the bills the week of May 19. Once passed, the bill will go to the House for consideration. Congressional Republicans are aiming to enact a final reconciliation bill by June 1.
So the battle is really heating up now as the final votes are coming soon. The moratorium restricting Medicaid funding to go to abortion providers will expire July 4 unless Congress acts again.
The very day that America celebrates 250 years of freedom, your tax dollars could begin flowing back into the abortion industry.
Fax the House and Senate immediately and demand they permanently block taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion.
There is enormous pressure on members of Congress to fund abortion. With all the budget issues at stake, some members could easily fund abortion in exchange to get votes on other provisions.
Make no mistake: Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion are counting on you growing tired and discouraged.
That is why Congress urgently needs to hear from YOU right now.
Here is the good news.
Reports indicate nearly 70 Planned Parenthood facilities closed during 2025, caused in part by revenue losses connected to Medicaid funding restrictions and related financial pressures.
Defunding works.
These clinics should never have been operational. They were sustained through tax dollars.
More facilities will close if Congress stops the funding.
That is why the abortion lobby is fighting so desperately right now.
Financial pressure hurts.
This is why Liberty Counsel Action is mobilizing to keep the pressure on Congress in the final days of the budget process.
But we cannot sustain this campaign without faithful supporters standing with us in this critical hour.
Help fuel this fight for life.
Your gift today — whether a single gift or a recurring monthly gift helps Liberty Counsel Action continue the fight for life.
