Washington, DC – On March 25, President Trump was asked this bombshell question:
“If Planned Parenthood is defunded, would you look into the harvesting of baby organs that they’ve done throughout the years, and maybe go after some criminal prosecution on that?”
President Trump answered: “We’ll look into it, we’re going to look into everything.”
In 2015, the Center for Medical Progress, co-founded by Troy Newman and funded by Operation Rescue, released the first shocking undercover videos detailing Planned Parenthood’s participation in what appeared to be illegal profit-taking from the trafficking of tissue and organs harvested from aborted babies.
Despite overwhelming video evidence at the time, followed by two Congressional investigations that resulted in criminal referrals to the U.S. Department of Justice, Planned Parenthood escaped federal charges when the corrupt FBI refused to investigate and the DOJ declined to prosecute.
Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue, said, “Instead of going to jail, Planned Parenthood gamed the system to cover up their crimes, then used their political prowess to punish those of us who dared to expose the heinous nature of what really happens behind the closed doors of America’s Abortion Cartel.
“But that political prowess is waning. Planned Parenthood’s clinics are failing fast, even in radically pro-abortion states; its own employees are outing the abortion giant for terrible work conditions and massive misuse of donations. Planned Parenthood can’t game the Trump administration. Their dark deeds are coming to light.”
On the same day Trump confirmed plans to investigate Planned Parenthood, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes and other news outlets reported a possible funding freeze that would keep Planned Parenthood from receiving around $20 million for affiliates in about a dozen states.
The freeze is reportedly related to a review from Health and Human Services that would determine if the funds in question were being used for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
“Though $20 million seems like a drop in the bucket next to the nearly $700 million total in tax money Planned Parenthood received in 2024,” said Newman, “this would be a great first step in defunding the largest child-killing business in America.”
“Planned Parenthood is nothing more than a criminal organization masquerading as healthcare,” adds Newman. “We look forward to a thorough investigation into the baby body parts scandal we uncovered a decade ago. It’s time to prosecute Planned Parenthood, and to end the steady flow of American tax dollars into its blood-stained coffers. Trump certainly seems to be the man for the job.”
