Planned Parenthood of Calif. lost $300 million after being defundedc

Alright, let’s get real about what’s happening in California. The state’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the biggest baby-killing operation in the Golden State, just got hit with a $300 million gut punch. 

A new federal law, signed by President Donald Trump, called the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," because of course it is, yanked Medicaid reimbursements from any nonprofit health clinic that slaughters babies and rakes in over $800,000 a year from Uncle Sam. That means California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics are now cut off from the federal gravy train. 

Now, some liberal judge in Massachusetts, Judge Talwani, threw a tantrum and issued a preliminary injunction to partially block the law, letting a handful of Planned Parenthood's nearly 600 abortion mills across the country keep their taxpayer cash, for now. But here’s the kicker: none of California’s clinics made the cut for that exemption. Tough luck, Jodi Hicks, the president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, who’s whining that "the harsh reality is, the Planned Parenthood defund will be felt in every corner of the state." 

Cry me a river, Jodi. Maybe stop prioritizing the slaughter of the unborn over actual health care, and you wouldn’t be in this mess.

Let’s be clear, Planned Parenthood could keep the taxpayer funds if they just stopped killing babies. But no, they’d rather cling to their abortion altar than provide legitimate health services. Their own annual report brags about terminating over 400,000 babies in 2023 and 2024 while pocketing nearly $800 million from taxpayers. The Hyde Amendment supposedly stops federal funds from directly paying for abortions, but Planned Parenthood’s $700 million in Medicaid reimbursements and Title X grants conveniently frees up their budget to keep the abortion machine humming. Pro-life leaders have been saying this for years, and now someone’s finally doing something about it.

The national Planned Parenthood crew is crossing their fingers for some future court ruling to restore their funding, dreaming that California’s clinics might get back on the federal dole. Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services is fighting back with an appeal, so this legal cage match is far from over. Hicks won’t say which locations might close, but pro-life folks are praying those abortion factories shut down for good.

This is what happens when you build an empire on the backs of the unborn. You can’t keep pretending it’s “health care” while the body count piles up. California’s Planned Parenthood is learning that the hard way, and I’m not shedding a single tear.

President Trump defunds Planned Parenthood ending tax-funded abortions

President Donald Trump is receiving praise from pro-life groups for two significant actions he took in his first week back in office. These actions include signing executive orders to defund International Planned Parenthood and to enforce the Hyde Amendment.

As LifeNews reported, Trump signed an executive order to enforce the Hyde Amendment, which reinforces the ban on using federal funds for elective abortions.

"This action underscores the administration’s commitment to preventing taxpayer dollars from being used to fund killing babies in abortions."

The Hyde Amendment, enacted in 1976, has long prohibited federal funding for abortions, with exceptions only in very rare emergency cases. Trump's order not only reaffirms this policy but also reverses previous executive orders by Joe Biden that expanded abortion access.

Trump also revoked Biden's executive order that had canceled the Mexico City Policy which provides U.S. taxpayer funding for abortions outside the U.S.

"During his first week in office last term, Trump signed the Mexico City policy in one of his first acts as president. The pro-life policy prohibits American tax dollars to groups that promote or provide abortions overseas. The move defunded two major abortion chains of hundreds of millions of American tax dollars. The International Planned Parenthood Federation alone estimated a $100 million loss from its budget."
The Mexico City policy, originally introduced by President Ronald Reagan, has typically been supported by pro-life presidents and rescinded by those favoring abortion rights. Trump not only reinstated this policy but also expanded its scope to include more global health assistance funds and programs.

"Every innocent life deserves to be protected. Ensuring that taxpayer dollars don’t pay for abortions has saved lives, and it’s a policy that continues to receive bipartisan support from a majority of Americans. Government-compelled participation in abortion has no place in our country. American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund abortions or to export and promote them abroad. We’re pleased to see the Trump administration take these crucial steps to redirect American taxpayer dollars to programs that offer real health care for women and children instead of the scandal-ridden abortion industry."
The California Pro-Life Council also praised Trump for these decisions:

"President Donald Trump has taken decisive action by revoking former President Joe Biden’s orders that expanded access to abortion."
Trump's executive order on Friday aimed to enforce the Hyde Amendment, preventing federal funding for elective abortions, emphasizing that American taxpayers should not be forced to pay for abortions at home or abroad.

By revoking these Biden-era orders, Trump reasserts a policy to stop the use of federal taxpayer dollars for elective abortions, returning to a more traditional stance.

Trump also reinstated the Mexico City Policy, ensuring that foreign NGOs cannot fund or promote abortions if they want to receive U.S. global health aid, a policy from the Reagan era which had been rescinded by Biden.

Marjorie Dannenfelser of SBA Pro-Life America also expressed gratitude for these actions:

"Trump signed crucial pro-life executive orders which SBA has strongly prioritized and advocated for: Restoring Hyde Amendment protections at the Department of Defense and at Veterans Affairs. The Hyde Amendment is the long-standing bi-partisan rule that prevents most federal funding of abortion, but which was flagrantly violated by the previous administration. Stopping the use of U.S. taxpayer dollars going to international Planned Parenthood efforts, restoring what is commonly called the Mexico City Policy."

Alyssa Milano pushed Uncle Joe Biden to go all out left on abortion

The question is not whether or not Joe Biden is stupid, it's whether he's plain stupid or incredibly stupid. The smart money is on the latter choice.

As it turns out, Alyssa Milano, the pom-pom girl for killing babies, may have been the one to convince Biden to do a full-flip on his position over the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the federal government from paying for abortions except in rare cases of rape, incest and the medical threat to the mother's life.

According to The Hill, Milano spoke via phone with Biden's campaign manager Greg Schultz earlier this week. She advised that "Gaffin' Joe" would be smart to take the opposite stance on the amendment and even the Comedy News Network [CNN] reported that the activist actress spoke with Biden directly.

Whatever Milano told Biden, it appears to have worked. On Thursday, he immediately reversed his position after several 2020 Democrats began to unilaterally blast his support for the Hyde Amendment. In just one day, Biden caved to pressure from an actress.

"We now see so many Republican governors denying healthcare for millions of the most poorest [sic] and most vulnerable Americans by refusing even Medicaid expansion, I can't justify leaving millions of women out of access to care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right," Biden told a crowd supporters. 

Abortion funding is not a Constitutionally protected right. In fact, using federal taxpayer funds to pay for it may be unconstitutional. Why should all Americans be forced to pay for abortions for others who decide they want to kill their unborn babies?

 "If I believe healthcare is a right, as I do, I can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone's ZIP code."

Nonsense. How does it make sense that a person has a right to a free abortion?

The B-list actress then celebrated Biden's flip-flop on Thursday, thanking him for "listening to the American people," [meaning her] even though the Hyde Amendment enjoys broad support among the American people and a great number of people believe that abortion is immoral, while others believe that it should be safe, rare and legal, as the Democrats used to claim.

According to Townhall, Biden's shift leftward can mean only one thing: the Democrats have taken up an extremist position on abortion with which most Americans do not agree, and for this, Biden will not win the Democratic nomination because he too has moved from the comfortable Democratic middle and is just another far-Left ideologue.

"Biden has now walked away from a majority-supported viewpoint on the Hyde Amendment, even as he seems to have the "moderate" lane basically to himself. The playbook to drag him leftward is now established," wrote Guy Benson. 

"By a double-digit margin, the American people oppose public funding of abortion. And the population for whom the Hyde Amendment would be jettisoned is even less likely to support the idea than wealthier Americans."

The flip-flop proves a lack of principles and just how fake Biden is--had he taken an actual stance on his support of the Hyde Amendment, he probably would win the nomination, but now, it's highly doubtful, and he can thank Alyssa Milano for his position on the subject.

If Biden had a real conviction on anything, it would die of loneliness.

And while he claimed to have finished  in the top half of his law class, he lied about it, among other things.
