A Senate provision stripping abortion providers — including Planned Parenthood — of federal taxpayer dollars through Medicaid will remain in the Big, Beautiful Bill after the Senate parliamentarian on Monday ruled that the language does not violate the Byrd Rule.
Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough allowed the provision to remain after Senate Republicans on Friday changed the timing of defunding from ten years to one year, the Hill reported. The Senate additionally rejected an amendment that would have funded Planned Parenthood as part of the budget reconciliation bill by a 49-51 vote.
The success comes after a major campaign by conservatives and pro-life organizations urging Republicans and President Donald Trump to end taxpayer dollars to abortion organizations through reconciliation — as Congress did in 2015 and 2017.
This comes after a Supreme Court ruling that allowed red states to deny funds from going to Planned Parenthood.
It follows a Supreme Court ruling last week that paves the way for red states to deny funding to Planned Parenthood.
Medicaid is prohibited from paying for almost all abortions, but states want to cut government funding for other services Planned Parenthood provides as well. If the bill were to pass, the policy would be national.
Major win!
