President Donald Trump is shaking up the federal funding landscape, with his team eyeing a freeze on family-planning grants to groups like Planned Parenthood while they dig into where the money’s really going.

The Wall Street Journal dropped the news Tuesday, spotlighting a potential $120 million pause that could hit Planned Parenthood affiliates hard—about $20 million of that was slated for clinics across a dozen states this year.

Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA, cheered the move on social media, arguing, “Between 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood performed 1.11 million abortions while receiving approximately $1.78 billion in federal funding. This is an average of $592 million every year or over 40% of their revenue. Nobody is fooled: For Planned Parenthood, money is fungible. Federal funds help prop up the murder mills they operate all across America.”

He’s fired up that Trump’s tackling a cash cow Republicans have long wanted to cut off.

The plan’s tied to Trump’s day-one executive order to purge diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts from federal spending—a poison he’s vowed to eradicate. The freeze isn’t final; it’s a timeout to check if these grants bankrolled DEI instead of core services—HHS might later yank the funds entirely or shift them elsewhere.

For Republicans, this is a dream decades in the making—defunding Planned Parenthood, a lightning rod in the abortion fight, has been a rallying cry since it rakes in millions while pushing abortion rights—97 percent GOP approval reflects a party united behind Trump’s swing. Back in 2019, his first term saw a crackdown barring abortion-referral groups from these grants, a rule Biden flipped, but now Trump’s back to turn off the tap.

This isn’t just about abortion—it’s Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, rethinking what taxpayer bucks should back. Planned Parenthood’s role—delivering pregnancy tests, STI treatments, and more—gets overshadowed by its abortion stats, and conservatives say federal funds free up cash for those operations anyway.

Kirk added fuel, noting, “American taxpayer dollars must NOT be used to kill innocent unborn babies,” a line that hits home for Americans tired of footing bills they don’t support.

The stakes are high—Planned Parenthood’s a lifeline for some, a villain for others, and Trump’s not shying away from the fight. Republicans stand tall—this funding freeze is a win for values and accountability!
