Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley is sounding the alarm as Democrats won’t give up the fight to butcher children in the name of gender ideology.
On July 4, a federal ban on tax dollars going to abortion and transgender procedures will expire.
Politicoreported that last year’s “Big Beautiful Bill” blocked funding to Planned Parenthood in the hundreds of millions to keep the organization from billing Medicaid for those services and others.
Despite Republican hopes of that ban lasting a decade, they only managed to get one year.
Hawley tried to extend the ban on Wednesday night, but was defeated, with Politico saying two Republicans — Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski — joining Democrats.
Fox Newsreported that Hawley is now calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson to block funding.
Hawley wrote a letter to Johnson, which he posted to social media platform Facebook, providing the details of his proposal.
He wrote in his post along with the letter, “The Senate just greenlit billions of taxpayer dollars to fund transgender experimentation on our kids. The House must act to stop this abomination once and for all.”
“Last night, the Senate rejected my efforts to ban taxpayer funding for transgender treatments for minor children. The ball is now in your court. If the House fails to act immediately as part of reconciliation, billions of Federal dollars will go to Planned Parenthood and other medical ‘providers’ for hormones, puberty blockers, and irreversible treatments for minor children,” Hawley warned.
“This is unconscionable. Not one dollar of federal tax money should be used for this purpose. I urge you to act without delay,” he wrote.
