The pink hat wearing ladies are having a horrible day after hearing House Speaker Mike Johnson’s latest comments, in which he revealed that he supports defunding Planned Parenthood.
The horror these women must feel at the thought of not being able to murder their own babies!
Recently on Fox News, Speaker Johnson made it clear that cutting funding to both Planned Parenthood and PBS is a priority. It’s high time we stop wasting taxpayer dollars on these leftist organizations.
“Under President Trump, we will take a blowtorch to the administrative state and reduce the size and scope of government,” Johnson wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked Johnson, “Two specific examples: Planned Parenthood and PBS are in congressional control. Are you planning to axe both of those?”
Johnson responded, “I would like to. That’s for sure.” However, he noted the need for consensus to gather enough votes for such actions.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have also suggested defunding Planned Parenthood as part of their strategy to eliminate government waste through the Department of Government Efficiency.
In a November Wall Street Journal op-ed, they highlighted plans to cut federal expenditures, including nearly $300 million going to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood, as reported by LifeSiteNews.

House and Senate Republicans look forward to hosting Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy tomorrow to discuss how the Department of Government Efficiency can help… pic.twitter.com/6GKbga0sCU

During his first term, President Donald Trump didn’t fully defund Planned Parenthood but managed to deprive them of tens of millions by prohibiting abortion vendors from receiving Title X “family planning” funds.
Trump and JD Vance have expressed their stance on keeping abortion drugs legal while leaving decisions about preborn babies up to the states. Yet, they seem supportive of defunding Planned Parenthood.
“On the question of defunding Planned Parenthood, look, I mean our view is we don’t think that taxpayers should fund late-term abortion,” Vance told the media after a rally in October.
Planned Parenthood receives roughly $592 million annually from U.S. taxpayers through Medicaid reimbursements, government grants, and other programs. They commit more than 365,000 abortions each year according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute, with less than one percent being “late-term abortions” at 21 weeks or later during pregnancy.
More than 1,000 babies a day. How truly heartbreaking.
