Democratic Congressman Maxwell Frost (D-FL) on July 1 made possibly the dumbest statement of 2025 so far—and there have been a lot to choose from. Frost said Republicans want “the baby to be born, go to school and get shot in the school. Die in the schools, die on the streets–” And he said it in a House Rules Committee hearing where he was cut off by Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC), saying, “You’ve gone over the cliff. We are all going to be quiet now.” To which Frost quipped, “I meant every word.” First, it’s voter insanity that would elect the likes of Frost to represent them in the first place, but his bold ignorance is all part of the left’s shrill attack on defunding Planned Parenthood.
According to Frost and his ideological echo chamber, removing taxpayer funding from America’s most prolific abortion provider is somehow illegal. Enter stage left: liberal judges clutching their pearls, ready to rule that any attempt to limit the government’s direct line to Planned Parenthood’s bank account is a constitutional emergency. But let’s set the record straight. Planned Parenthood has long insisted that federal money doesn’t pay for abortions. I’ve snuck into meetings hosted by Democrats on Capitol Hill where Planned Parenthood representatives have openly discussed how the “healthcare” side of Planned Parenthood’s business keeps the lights on for their abortion mill.
Thanks to the Hyde Amendment, passed in 1976, federal dollars can’t be used for elective abortions. But if government funding is supposedly going to “everything else”—like the life-saving mammograms that don’t exist at most PP clinics—why do so many locations shut their doors the moment Medicaid dollars dry up? Planned Parenthood’s own panic proves the point. When House Republicans passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that redirected Medicaid reimbursements away from providers that perform abortions, Planned Parenthood responded as if the sky was falling. A judge in Boston—one of those ever-faithful defenders of progressive orthodoxy—issued a temporary block, calling the funding cut a possible violation of constitutional rights. We’ve apparently reached the point where your tax dollars are now someone else’s civil right.
The Supreme Court already cleared the way for states to cut Planned Parenthood from Medicaid. In fact, in a 6–3 decision just last month, the Court reminded everyone that Medicaid recipients don’t get to sue states just because they’re unhappy with provider choices. States can legally say, “No thanks,” to abortion-adjacent providers. Finally exposed is that Planned Parenthood can’t keep their abortion mill running without tax dollars. It’s like Jeremiah 2:34 says, “Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.” Planned Parenthood is an abortion subsidy scheme. For Frost to justify abortion because he doesn’t want kids just to grow up and be shot in schools is profane and insane. To say that defunding Planned Parenthood violates constitutional rights is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.
