On April 2, 2025, a coalition of pro-life organizations orchestrated a series of demonstrations across the United States, rallying outside abortion clinics to demand the cessation of taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. The initiative, known as the "Nationwide Day of Protest to Defund Planned Parenthood," was spearheaded by the Pro-Life Action League and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society. Their primary objective is to redirect public funds from abortion providers to health centers that support life-affirming services.

Matt Yonke of the Pro-Life Action League highlighted that Planned Parenthood performs 42% of annual abortions in the U.S. while contributing less than 1% of annual pap tests and clinical breast exams. He also pointed to allegations against the organization, including claims of shielding child predators, defrauding Medicaid, and profiting from fetal tissue sales.

The demonstrations saw participation from pro-life activists nationwide, who gathered to voice their opposition to public funding for Planned Parenthood. They argue that taxpayer dollars should not support an organization involved in practices they find ethically objectionable. Instead, they advocate for reallocating these funds to community health centers that provide comprehensive healthcare without offering abortion services.

This nationwide protest underscores the ongoing debate over abortion funding in the United States. Pro-life advocates remain steadfast in their efforts to influence public policy and funding decisions, aiming to ensure that government resources align with their ethical and moral perspectives.
