House Voted to Defund Big Abortion-The One Big Beautiful Bill is Now on to the Senate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati Right to Life needs your help-for moms and babies<\/em><\/strong>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is critical for Ohio!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Thursday morning, House Republicans delivered on their promise to defund Big Abortion by\u00a0passing the budget reconciliation bill<\/a>.\u00a0The final vote tally was 215-214 with Cincinnati Right to Life friend and endorsed Republican Rep. Warren Davidson and Kentucky\u2019s Rep. Thomas Massie joining the Democrats in voting “no” to the over 1,000-page bill. Cincinnati Right to Life is thankful the bill passed even without Davidson and Massie.<\/p>\n\n\n

The \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act\u201d is not the flawless fix for fraud and waste, but it does include a key measure: ensuring that no Medicaid funds \u201cshall be used to make payments to a prohibited entity for items and services furnished during a 10-year period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This development represents a major victory for the pro-life movement, as Planned Parenthood receives over one-third of its total funding from the U.S. government through grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements\u2014amounting to roughly $2 million per day in taxpayer dollars. Moreover, public funding for the organization has been steadily rising, with a 50% increase since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Planned Parenthood performed<\/a> a record number of abortions\u2014over 400,000\u2014marking a tragic milestone as more preborn lives than ever were ended for profit and convenience by our nation\u2019s abortion giant. At the same time, the organization\u2019s so-called \u201cother services\u201d continued to steadily decline, further revealing its true priority–slaughtering the preborn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House\u2019s approval of this bill marks a promising step forward, but the battle is not yet won. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where pro-life legislators must remain steadfast in pushing it through to final passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the One Big Beautiful Bill is being advanced through the reconciliation process, it only needs a simple majority\u201450 votes\u2014to pass in the Senate. With Republicans currently holding a 53\u201347 majority, they can afford to lose no more than three votes. In the event of a 50\u201350 tie, the Vice President can cast the deciding vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cincinnati Right to Life calls on the Senate to reject the deceptive narratives of the abortion industry. We remain committed to ensuring that no American is compelled to fund Big Abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is critically important for Ohio to defund Planned Parenthood through the One Big Beautiful Bill, especially considering the organization’s extensive and diabolical presence in the state.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\u00a0twenty facilities<\/a>\u00a0operating across Ohio\u2014four of which perform later-term surgical abortions\u2014Planned Parenthood plays a central role in promoting death and destruction of the pre-born here in our nation\u2019s seventh most populous state. The remaining centers continue to refer for abortion and distribute chemical abortion drugs, leading to the intentional destruction of preborn lives and harming tens of thousands of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the tragic passage of Issue 1 in November 2023, which enshrined abortion access up to birth in Ohio\u2019s Constitution, the number of abortions has surged dramatically. This has been compounded by a sharp rise in out-of-state residents seeking abortions in Ohio, as reported by sidewalk advocates. Defunding Planned Parenthood is a necessary step toward protecting the sanctity of life and restoring a culture that values every human being from conception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please help Cincinnati Right to Life contact our Senators to ensure they are all committed to passing this bill. It is most helpful for you to only call the Senator of your state, but feel free to call his Washington DC office and local office every day, requesting they commit to passing a bill without any cuts to the provisions that would defund Planned Parenthood.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
