Guest Post by Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life
Planned Parenthood is in a battle for its future and even abortion advocates have to face up to the fact that the nation’s number one abortion seller is neither the political nor fund-raising powerhouse it once was.
New York Magazine pro-abortion writer Irin Carmon details the many ways the organization is in decline in a long story in The Cut. The headline alone is cause for celebration: “Planned Parenthood is facing a funding crisis and its political power is waning.”
Can I get an Amen!
The abortion giant closed more than 50 of its facilities in 2025, some because of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill that cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood for a year. But trouble was brewing even before the president signed the bill on Independence Day.
Stories over the last year or two detailed dysfunction in Omaha; racism in New York; lawsuits over the abortion pill in Florida and Louisiana. The organization even had to oust its own CEO for being insufficiently pro-abortion.
And although Planned Parenthood managed to escape justice for the fetal harvesting scandal uncovered by the Center for Medical Progress in 2015, many Americans will never forget the video showing a Planned Parenthood abortionist calmly discussing between bites of salad and sips of wine how she decides where to crush a living baby’s bones to preserve the most lucrative organs.
Now that Roe v. Wade has been consigned to history and many states protect babies from abortion, pro-life advocates are more focused than ever on defunding and shutting down every one of Planned Parenthood’s killing centers.
Once, it seemed impossible to pro-lifers that Planned Parenthood would fall. Now that it is in decline, I’d like to invite you to come kick them while they’re down.
Every year on the day before the March for Life in Washington, D.C., and the Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, Priests for Life has helped organize a peaceful, prayerful protest outside a Planned Parenthood killing center near the events.
In D.C., we will gather in front of the Planned Parenthood’s Carol Whitehill Moses Center at 1225 Fourth St NE, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 22 – the actual anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.
In San Francisco, we will gather in front of the Planned Parenthood at 1522 Bush St., beginning at 8 a.m.
These protests always draw a big crowd, and in DC, we can count on at least one counter-protester, a young man named Derek who comes armed with a megaphone on a mission to annoy us.
But we will not be deterred.
If you are going to be at either the D.C. March or the San Francisco Walk – or, like me, at both – I urge you to join us.
For information about other March and Walk-related events, go to ProLifeMarch.org.
I hope to see you on the sidewalk.
