The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) has
voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit
against the Trump administration that sought to overturn the one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood through the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” On Friday, PPFA officially filed its notice of dismissal in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
Since the Medicaid defunding took effect, Planned Parenthood has closed more than 50 facilities in 2025, claiming financial hardship. Yet at the same time, the abortion corporation has shifted its strategy—shutting down brick-and-mortar locations while expanding so-called “virtual health centers.” Planned Parenthood continues to commit surgical abortions and recklessly distribute the abortion pill, endangering the lives of countless preborn babies and their mothers.
The scale of this destruction cannot be ignored. In 2023–2024 alone, Planned Parenthood killed 402,230 preborn children— the highest number in its history.
During that year, Planned Parenthood controlled 40% of the abortion market, killing an average of 1,102 preborn human beings every single day—nearly 46 every hour, or one child every 78 seconds.
Here in Ohio, the urgency is especially clear. Ohio has become an abortion tourism state, with nearly 9,000 abortions committed in just the final four months of 2025.
To our knowledge, Ohio is still reimbursing Planned Parenthood through Medicaid, forcing taxpayers to prop up facilities dedicated to ending innocent human life. While abortions may not be directly paid for through Medicaid, these reimbursements are fully integrated with other services, allowing Planned Parenthood to keep the lights on, the heat running, and the bills paid—effectively sustaining the abortion operation as a whole.
In June 2025, the Medina ruling at the U.S. Supreme Court
confirmed that governors have the authority to issue executive orders ending Medicaid reimbursements to abortionists. Governors in South Carolina, Nebraska, and Oklahoma have already acted—protecting both preborn children and taxpayers.
This week, Cincinnati Right to Life couriered our third letter to Governor DeWine,
urging him once again to act decisively and slow the bloodshed. Ohio families should not be forced to bankroll the nation’s largest business of preborn child death.
