The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a reconciliation bill hailed as a significant pro-life victory, which will defund major abortion companies like Planned Parenthood and redirect support to women, children, and families.
The legislation is now waiting action in the U.S. Senate, where a critical vote is expected soon, according to Jennie Bradley Lichter, president of March for Life Action.
The bill, which also aims to save taxpayer dollars, includes measures that Lichter described as a “major pro-life victory” that would “defund Big Abortion and support women, children, and families across our nation.”
She credited grassroots efforts for the House passage, stating, “Thank you to all of you who contacted your U.S. Representatives and helped make this happen!”
But action is needed now to urge senators get the bill over the finish line – first with a vote in the full Senate without pulling the language to defund Planned Parenthood.

Lichter urged immediate action to ensure Senate support, emphasizing the bill’s potential to advance pro-life goals.
“Now, the fate of the bill and its pro-life provisions rest in the U.S. Senate’s hands, and a vote is just around the corner,” she said. “If it passes, you, me, we — the pro-life movement — will be one step closer to defunding Big Abortion — and saving countless lives.”
Highlighting the stakes, Lichter pointed to Planned Parenthood, which she called “one of the biggest players in Big Abortion.” She noted the organization is “actively rallying their pro-abortion activists to counteract your voice” and noted that Planned Parenthood “is singlehandedly responsible for ending the lives of over 400,000 children in 2022-2023 alone, all while receiving $2 million a day in taxpayer funding.”
Lichter called on supporters to contact their senators to back the bill, which she said carries “powerful pro-life and pro-family implications.” She stressed the need to counter pro-abortion advocacy, adding, “Our women and girls deserve better than abortion.”
The Senate vote’s outcome remains uncertain, with pro-life and pro-abortion groups intensifying efforts to sway lawmakers. The bill’s passage could reshape federal funding priorities, potentially redirecting resources away from abortion providers toward family-focused programs.
