WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2025 /Standard Newswire/ — The news conference will be on Thursday, January 23, at 10:00 a.m. in front of the Washington, DC Planned Parenthood, located at 1225 4th St NE.

The event is being sponsored by Stanton Public Policy Center and Priests for Life.

Stanton Public Policy Center is a women’s advocacy and educational group, based in Washington, D.C. Stanton works on issues of human rights and justice that empower and inspire women. It is affiliated with Stanton Healthcare, which has non-profit life-affirming women’s medical clinics in the United States and internationally. Stanton has AAAHC (www.aaahc.org) third party accreditation and specializes in serving women with unexpected pregnancies by providing professional medical care, tangible resources, practical and emotional support, and women’s wellness care with a special outreach to refugees and the marginalized.

Defunding Planned Parenthood will be a major issue for the pro-life movement as they work with the Trump Administration, Congress and DOGE.

Speaker of the House Johnson, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy, have all pledged to work toward defunding Planned Parenthood.

Brandi Swindell, Founder and CEO of Stanton Healthcare and Stanton Public Policy Center, states:

“Stanton Healthcare stands with women by offering exceptional life-affirming medical care and compassionate support, empowering them to thrive in every season of life. It is unacceptable that taxpayer dollars fund an organization like Planned Parenthood, which profits from ending lives rather than offering holistic, empowering healthcare for women.

“Studies show that as many as 60% of women who have abortions feel pressured to do so, with many experiencing coerced or even forced abortions. Fifty years of unfettered access to abortion through groups like Planned Parenthood have not solved the challenges women face or reduced societal problems. Funding Planned Parenthood is literally a dead end—and it needs to stop.

“Women deserve far better than abortion. They deserve authentic care, dignity, and hope. Stanton is committed to advocating for policies that redirect funding to comprehensive, life-affirming care that truly prioritizes the needs of women and their families."

Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Chief Strategy Officer for Stanton Public Policy Center, comments:

“It is an outrage the federal government gives nearly 700 million dollars a year to Planned Parenthood which is the largest abortion provider in the world and was founded by a racist and eugenicist. Planned Parenthood reported nearly $2.1 billion in income and over $2.5 billion in net assets; Planned Parenthood’s excess of total revenue over total expenses (i.e. profit) is $178.6 million.

"Planned Parenthood’s main business is abortion with the number of abortions increasing by over 20% in the past 10 years. Over that same time period, prenatal services, miscarriage care, adoption referrals, client visits and other medical services have dropped dramatically. It also must be remembered, Planned Parenthood has no independent third-party medical accreditation.

“The pro-life movement looks forward to working with the Trump Administration, Congress and DOGE to ensure they defund and replace Planned Parenthood.”
