TUPELO, Miss. — On Friday, July 4, President Trump officially signed into law the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act.’ The president previously said the bill would “fuel massive economic growth” and “lift up the hard-working citizens who make this country run.” The bill includes a one-year block on Medicaid funding to all abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood across the nation.

 

Walker Wildmon, CEO of AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of the American Family Association, is urging congress and state legislators to secure this victory permanently for the pro-life community.

 

 

“For the first time in U.S. history, abortion providers have been officially excluded from participating in Medicaid – a result of the Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill,” said Wildmon. “This is not just a win; it’s a generational shift. It’s what pro-life policy looks like in action and proof of what happens when we govern with conviction rather than compromise. Taxpayer dollars will no longer be fueling the abortion industry, but only for a year. Congress and state legislators should make this victory permanent while the momentum is on our side.”
