National Right to Life Supports Eliminating Taxpayer Funding of Abortion
WASHINGTON — National Right to Life supports the House reconciliation bill –also named the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” – which would eliminate federal funds being used to prop up the multibillion-dollar abortion industry.
“Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, rakes in over $2 billion in revenue every year,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “As the nation’s single largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood took the lives of over 400,000 unborn babies last year.”
In its latest annual report, Planned Parenthood performed 402,230 abortions, or about 4 out of every 10 abortions nationwide, and abortions outnumbered prenatal care 57 to 1.
In a recent New York Times exposé on the abortion giant, it was reported that,
Over the last five years, the national office has distributed more than $899 million to affiliates…but none of it went directly to medical services.… Much of the national funding to affiliates went to legal support, public campaigns to expand abortion access and subsidies for patient navigators…
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, Planned Parenthood took in $2.026 billion in revenue making the abortion giant one of the nation’s most profitable “non-profits.” Of the over $2 billion, $792.2 million (39%) of Planned Parenthood’s revenue came from taxpayers in the form of “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants.”
“Planned Parenthood has built a billion-dollar industry off of women and the killing of unborn babies using taxpayer dollars,” said Tobias. “It’s time to turn the pig away from the feeding trough.”
Taxpayers have consistently opposed taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions. In a January 2025 Marist Poll, 57% of those polled opposed taxpayer funding of abortion.
Founded in 1968, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of 50 state right-to-life affiliates, is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots pro-life organization. NRLC works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
