'Betrayal': Pro-life leaders react to Trump admin. extending Title X funding to Planned Parenthood
2. Lila Rose
In a press release provided to The Christian Post, Lila Rose, the founder and president of Live Action, said the Trump administration’s decision to keep funding going to Planned Parenthood is “unacceptable.”
“Taxpayer dollars should never be used to prop up America’s largest abortion business,” Rose continued. “Planned Parenthood exists to end the lives of preborn children, and every dollar it receives helps sustain an industry built on violence against the innocent.”
“This decision is a betrayal of the pro-life Americans who expected this administration to stand firmly against abortion and against the forced public funding of those who commit it. The American people should not be made to subsidize abortion businesses under the guise of women’s health,” she added. “Title X funds should go to real health care providers that serve women and families without taking innocent human life. The administration should reverse course immediately and fully defund Planned Parenthood.”
Live Action’s press release also noted that the administration’s latest decision stands in contrast with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included a provision to prohibit Planned Parenthood and other abortion entities from receiving federal Medicaid funds for a year.
The pro-life advocacy group called for the reinstatement of the Protect Life Rule, a policy from the first Trump administration that prohibited taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide abortions. President Joe Biden later disbanded the rule when he took office.
