Gun-toting frog banter ends at 5:05

In one of history's greatest pro-life victories, Planned Parenthood was defunded on July 4, 2025. Over the next year, dozens of abortion facilities and referral centers closed their doors. 

But Congress didn't get around to extending the defunding in 2026, and the abortion giant is now eligible to receive hundreds of millions of your tax dollars in the year ahead. This is a terrible development for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies. 

But in many ways, the one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood continues to bear fruit. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the silver--or at least aluminum--linings of Congress's failure to defund America's leading abortion chain again.
