Sen. Rand Paul Honors March For Life, Reintroduces Defund Planned Parenthood Act To Stop Federal Funding of Abortion

Dr. Rand Paul Honors 2025 March for Life, Reintroduces Defund Planned Parenthood Act

Editor’s note: The recently announced ratification of the 28th Amendment guaranteeing equal rights for women may be relevant in the case of medically necessary abortion (where death of the mother is a high possibility, such as in an ectopic pregnancy) or post-miscarriage treatment such as the sometimes medically necessary d&c after a miscarriage. Many of the state bans do not allow exceptions for any reason, and are having predictable effects on increasing maternal mortality in those states. The documentary we reviewed, Under G_d argues that only Christianity forbids abortion in all cases and contexts. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ahead of the 2025 March for Life in Washington, D.C., U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) released the following statement honoring the event and reintroduced his Defund Planned Parenthood Act.

“As a physician, I took an oath to do no harm. As a father and grandfather, I’ve witnessed the miracle of life firsthand,” said Dr. Paul. “My commitment to protecting life isn’t just personal, it’s rooted in both science and principle. Life begins at conception, and I’ve spent my time in the Senate fighting to protect the right to life.”

The Defund Planned Parenthood Act would ensure federal tax dollars aren’t going to organizations, like Planned Parenthood, to perform abortions.

The Defund Planned Parenthood Act is cosponsored by Senators Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Ted Budd (R-NC), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Ted Cruz (R-TX).
