End taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers
What the document says“Policymakers should end taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and all other abortion providers”
The chapter says the funding should be redirected to health centers that provide what it calls real health care for women, that most such federal funding comes through Medicaid, and asks Congress to pass the Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act. It also asks the agency to resolve pending waivers from Idaho, South Carolina and Tennessee seeking to bar abortion providers from state Medicaid programs.
What the document actually says“Policymakers should end taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood and all other abortion providers”
Stop tax money going to Planned Parenthood. Stop it to other abortion clinics too.
Planned Parenthood runs health clinics. Some of them do abortions. It gets federal money for other care. The book says that money should stop.
To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14

Section 71113 of Public Law 119-21 bars federal Medicaid money from paying a prohibited entity for one year, defined as a tax exempt essential community provider mainly engaged in family planning that provides abortions outside cases of rape, incest or danger to the woman's life and whose Medicaid spending topped $800,000 in fiscal year 2023. That uses the Medicaid channel the chapter names. The bar lasts one year rather than ending the funding, it reaches only entities meeting all four tests rather than all abortion providers, it redirects nothing to other health centers, it is not the Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act, and the Idaho, South Carolina and Tennessee waivers are left unresolved. EO 14182, the top candidate, ends federal funding of elective abortion but leaves payments to providers for other services untouched.
The 2025 law blocks federal Medicaid money to some abortion providers for one year. A group must meet four tests to be covered by the ban. That uses the Medicaid route the chapter named. But the ban lasts a year rather than ending the money, and it does not reach all abortion providers.
