(The Lion) Planned Parenthood is bemoaning the Trump-Vance administration’s pro-life policies and the “damage” they have caused to abortion providers.
In its report, Planned Parenthood argues President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have “devastated sexual and reproductive health in the U.S. and around the globe.”
Its list of supposed harms include:
- “Intentionally failed to enforce federal laws that protect abortion care” – Trump pardoned 23 pro-life advocates who were arrested under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
- Signed a bill to “defund” Planned Parenthood – the Big Beautiful Bill prevented people from using Medicaid funding at Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
- “Undercut federally funded sex education programs” – which were pushing leftist racial and LGBTQ+ agendas.
- And “reinstated the dangerous anti-abortion global gag rule” – which prohibits foreign organizations from receiving U.S. health funding if they provide services or information related to abortion.

Planned Parenthood also parroted other non-medical talking points such as:
- “Rolled back protections and rights for LGBTQ+ communities and immigrants”
- “Exploited the Department of Justice and U.S. Military against American communities” in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids
- “Advanced an anti-civil rights agenda, including slashing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs”
Trump and Vance have been strong supporters of pro-family policies, with the Vances announcing they are expecting their fourth child.
“I want more babies in the United States of America,” the vice president said in January. “I want more happy children in our country, and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them into the world and eager to raise them.”
Usha Vance is just the second Second Lady in American history to be pregnant in office.
Her husband even joked they decided to have another child to take advantage of the new child tax credits and Trump accounts.
However, Planned Parenthood argued the administration’s pronatalist policies are a “smokescreen for racist, sexist policies, as they prioritize only married, straight, and white people who wish to have more children.”
The Vances disprove that, as Usha Vance is not white and the children of Indian immigrants.

Whatever the abortion provider may have to say, Trump’s policies are effective – and popular.
A November report estimated as many as 70 Planned Parenthood locations may have closed since Trump took office.
On the legal front, the Supreme Court affirmed states’ rights to cut funding to abortion providers, which states such as South Carolina and Nebraska have since enacted.
Others, including Texas and Louisiana, are targeting the abortion pill and the mail-order abortion trade.
Despite claims that complications from abortion pills are rare, studies have shown 11% of women will suffer a “serious adverse event” such as sepsis, fallopian tube rupture or hemorrhaging.
