Hawley Files Budget Amendment to Extend Ban on Planned Parenthood Funding
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) filed an amendment to the Senate Budget Resolution to extend the prohibition on federal payments to abortion providers. In the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Congress enacted a one-year ban on federal payments under the Medicaid program to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. That ban expires on July 4, 2026. Senator Hawley plans to force a vote on his amendment during the Senate's upcoming consideration of the Budget Resolution.
Senator Hawley has consistently called for a termination of all federal funding to abortion providers. At the start of this Congress, Senator Hawley introduced theEnd Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Providers Act, which would strip Planned Parenthood and similar entities from receiving any taxpayer dollars.
Senator Hawley's amendment to ban federal funding for Planned Parenthood can be found here.
