Pro-Life Generation Protests Planned Parenthood Funding Across US

Recent efforts by pro-life groups, including Students for Life Action led by Kristan Hawkins, are pushing the Trump administration's Small Business Administration to debar Planned Parenthood, citing accusations and concerns over federal funding of abortion services. This movement is part of a broader campaign to cut all federal support for Planned Parenthood, which activists consider unqualified due to its abortion services. Historically, Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, originally opposed abortion and advocated birth control as a means to prevent it, although her legacy is controversial due to her support of eugenics and the disproportionate impact of abortion on African American communities. Planned Parenthood has faced significant financial and operational challenges in 2025, including defunding, reduced donations, and clinic closures, which some pro-life activists see as signs of waning support for abortion rights. Despite these setbacks, abortion remains a deeply divisive issue in the U.S., with ongoing political battles over reproductive rights and access to contraception. The dialogue around Planned Parenthood and abortion continues to reflect broader cultural and racial tensions within American society.
