Will DOGE Finally Cut Off Planned Parenthood’s Massive Tax Funds?

A major pro-life champion is praising President Donald Trump’s unofficial “Department of Government Efficiency” budget advisor as a prime opportunity to cut off the hundreds of millions of tax dollars that are funneled each year to the Planned Parenthood abortion chain.

“Trump’s budget-belt tighteners, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, are targeting the abortion giant as part of plans to ‘take aim at the $500 billion plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress,’” the American Life League reports.

“It’s time to curb Planned Parenthood’s rape of the taxpayers,” stated Brown. “Repeated cries to defund Planned Parenthood have gone unheeded. The continued unauthorized granting of taxpayer dollars to a business that systematically profits by selling abortions is unconscionable. We urge the new administration to shut down this cash cow that is financing the decimation of America’s future by sucking taxpayer dollars to line CEO pockets.”  

Cutting off Planned Parenthood’s tax funds would save millions of pre-born lives each year, as the abortion chain uses its “family planning” funds to essentially subsidize its abortion business.  It would also be a major change in policy, as Trump approved record tax funds to Planned Parenthood in his first term and publicly defended the subsidy program.

American Life League national director Katie Brown observed “that Planned Parenthood, which received $670.4 million in taxpayer money, cumulatively paid its Planned Parenthood affiliate CEOs $16.8 million in 2020, averaging more than $317,000, per its most recent available numbers. By contrast, Brown noted that compensation analyst Salary.com lists the average salary for CEOs of US nonprofits as $184,809.”  

“This data by the Planned Parenthood watchdog shows that this abortion empire, classified by the Internal Revenue Service as not-for-profit, is paying its executives big bucks,” the ALL reports, adding, “As Planned Parenthood executives pull in their six-figure salaries, Brown shared that those targeted with Planned Parenthood’s abortion services are typically the poorest. She cited the abortion vendor’s own data showing that 70 percent of those to whom they sell abortions have an annual household income of under $40,000.”
