Defund Planned Parenthood? Plus, Abortion Pills & the Role of the Church 

By Peter Demos Published on June 6, 2025

In this 28-minute conversation with Peter Demos, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life AmericaState Public Affairs Director Kelsey Pritchard breaks down the recent passage of a budget bill in the House of Representatives that includes a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.

With backing from President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and pro-life leaders in the Senate, this bill represents a major legislative strategy for the pro-life movement — one that bypasses the 60-vote Senate threshold and could remove over $500 million in Medicaid funding from the nation’s largest abortion provider.

But the battle is far from over. Kelsey explains why citizen action is urgently needed, the rise of mail-order abortion pills, and how Planned Parenthood’s true practices differ from its public messaging. This is more than policy — it’s a call for the church to reclaim sexual ethics and for Christians to lead with truth, action, and compassion.
