The United States House of Representatives has passed a budget resolution, allowing committees to initiate drafting a reconciliation bill. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America expressed approval of this development.
The reconciliation bills from 2015 and 2017 contained measures to halt the flow of American tax dollars to abortion services. According to Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, Congress now has a chance to cease funding to "an industry that endangers women, kills unborn children and spends millions lobbying for abortion on demand with no limits." They cited Planned Parenthood's recent annual report, which claimed the organization was responsible for nearly 400,000 abortions and received almost $700 million in taxpayer funds within a single year.
The organization, along with over 150 pro-life groups from every state, is urging Congress to defund Planned Parenthood and similar entities through the budget reconciliation process. On March 27, more than 350 activists went to Capitol Hill to engage with numerous congressional offices.
Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, a network consisting of over a million pro-life advocates, focuses on ending abortion by supporting the election of national leaders and advocating for life-saving legislation, with a particular emphasis on promoting female pro-life leaders.
