679: Defund Now or Never: Planned Parenthood's Money Trouble Four Years After Dobbs

Four years to the day after Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade, John Gerardi sits down with Jonathan Keller, CEO of California Family Council, to take stock of where the pro-life movement actually stands. They cover what Dobbs did and did not do, why mail-order abortion pills have quietly undercut state bans, and how decades of Roe left even pro-life lawmakers afraid to act once they finally held power. Then John digs into his new National Review piece on Planned Parenthood's surprisingly fragile finances: $117 million in losses, 51 shuttered locations, and a California stronghold propped up by Medi-Cal. With Republicans poised to restore funding on July 4, the real question is whether a long-term defunding could finally break the nation's largest abortion provider.
