GOP Rep. Mary Miller Plans to Strip Planned Parenthood of Taxpayer Funding Through Reconciliation: ‘Congress Must Fulfill Constitutional Duty’Katherine Hamilton 3 Apr 2025
Republican Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) has plans to produce legislation that would strip abortion-giant Planned Parenthood of taxpayer funding through budget reconciliation.
Miller is one of several GOP lawmakers who rallied at Capitol Hill on March 27 with pro-life groups, urging their fellow Republicans to use their trifecta to hack away at the hydra that is Planned Parenthood. The organization’s 2023 annual report revealed that taxpayer funding in the form of government grants, contracts, and Medicaid reimbursements hit $699.3 million and made up 34 percent of Planned Parenthood’s overall revenue.
On Wednesday night, Miller wrote in a post to X that she is “fighting to strip their funding through reconciliation!” She wrote the post in response to news the Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars in Title X funds to nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates, pointing to “possible violations” of federal civil rights law and President Donald Trump’s executive orders.
Defunding abortion businesses through the reconciliation process would allow the Senate to bypass the critical 60-vote threshold for a simple majority vote instead. President Donald Trump has called on Republicans to pass his agenda through reconciliation in “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
