Hey, pro life Jen. Welcome back to the Kristin Hawkins Show. And today we're going to reflect on 2025. And it feels like a decade has been packed into the year. 2025 was full of victories, heartbreak, and defining battles for our movement. We said goodbye to Biden, good riddance to Kamala, and welcome back to President Trump. But tragically, we were also forced to say farewell to our friend Charlie Kirk, who was stolen from us and our movement many decades too soon. So today, let's look back at what we've accomplished and what's ahead as we march forward into 2026. I want to start by going through a list, our wish list for President Trump in his first 100 days. So when President Trump was inaugurated and sworn in, the pro life movement had a wish list for the new administration of we wanted to see done in Washington, D.C. to advance our movement to abolish all abortion. So I pulled up that wish list and we're going to go through it and see how we did and give them. I guess you all can grade them at the end. I didn't give official grade because they'll get mad at me, but you can give them a great. All right, so first, we asked President Trump to pardon the pro life prisoners being held in federal prison on Face act violations, one of which is one of our former alumni. We asked him to dismantle the federal law that has been targeting Christians and pro lifers for way too many years. So here's what he did. Within days of inauguration, the Trump DOJ issued a memorandum that condemned the weaponization of the Face act against pro lifers. President Trump, the day before the March for Life, he actually pardoned the 23 pro life advocates that had been charged under the FACE act for federal violations. And he said, quote, he, they should not have been prosecuted. Many of them are elderly people. To great honor to sign this, end quote. What needs to be done? Well, the FACE act is still federal law, and I wouldn't mind it being repealed. All right. Second thing we asked President Trump to do, I mean, we're bossy people, so I mean, I'm sure he's not the biggest fan of us. Always tell him what you want to do. Okay. But we asked President Trump to require the EPA to track chemical abortion pill pollution in our water supply and then require the FDA to also conduct environmental testing. Why? Because we want to end chemical abortion pills. President Trump did not act on this request his first 100 days. However, this fall, about a month ago, the EPA did confirm to the New York Times that our member of Congress letter that we've sent now twice to the EPA is being seriously considered and they're looking into it. And, and a little birdie told me some pro lifers were just at the EPA having a meeting. So what needs to be done? The pro life, the pro life movement needs to pressure President Trump and his administration to take action on chemical abortion, pill water pollution using, you know, starting with the epa, then starting with the fda. Why? Because chemical abortion pills are the leading cause of infant death in our country. And it's time to start using the left's laws against them, quite honestly. All right. Third thing we asked President Trump to do in his first 100 days was to reinstate the Mexico City policy. This is the policy that stops U.S. federal funds from going to overseas to fund abortion agencies. This was like the easiest ask ever. President Trump, I am pleased to say, did reinstate the Mexico City policy via executive order within days of his inauguration. This is standard practice for any president who says he's pro life. Now, what needs to be done? Like the Hyde Amendment, the Mexico City policy has to be made permanent. Congress needs to pass a law. Senator Kennedy and Senator Lee has a. They have a protect life in Global health assistance policy law that needs to be passed which would make the Mexico City policy permanent law. Just like how we need to make the Hyde Amendment, which is that budget appropriations process has been renewed every year that bans taxpayer dollars for funding for abortion and, you know, appropriation bills. That also has to be made federal, too. Fourth, what do we ask President Trump to do to defund and debar Planned Parenthood? He didn't do anything in the first 100 days, but Speaker Mike Johnson got to work and got defunding and planned parenthood for one year up to 80% in the big beautiful bill which President Trump signed into law on July 4th. I remember it because I was on the mountain hiking with my kids. It started raining and then I started crying and I actually want. I did an Instagram live because I was shocked. I had cell phone service. This happened for one year. Here's the challenge. It's going to renew. Planned parent funding will be reinstated on July 4, 2026, America's 250th birthday. What the heck this means when Congress meets in January for budget reconciliation 2.0. Was it 2.0? Was it Dunder Riffle and 2.0? Anyway, we need to make sure that defunding a Planned Parenthood is included in the budget reconciliation process. The House budget reconciliation bill had 10 years, which was a legal maximum. The Senate, because Senate parliamentarian whittled it down from 10 to 1 and Senate majority Leader John Thune let her, it went down to one. That's why when the BBB was signed, a law defunding was only one year. We need it for the maximum amount, which is 10 years, and that needs to be passed ASAP before July 4th, when planned parent funding would be reinstated. All right. Oh, and oh, by the way, we also need the Trump administration to borrow Planned Parenthood, which would ban them from all federal funding or applying for federal funding or doing business with anyone who gets federal funding, because we know they illegally took Covid paycheck protection money. I've detailed this in great length through a number of podcasts this fall, but it starts with this Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler, who is a former pro life center, she can start and her inspector general can start debarment proceedings at sba. Because we know they illegally took paycheck protection money during the COVID pandemic. And that would be applied to all the agencies. That's like the easiest thing they can do and they should do it immediately. Number five, fifth one. We asked President Trump to enforce the Comstock act, which is the 1890 law that bans the mailing of abortion drugs or paraphernalia or materials. What has he done? Nothing. The Trump administration, the doj, has done nothing to date. In fact, the Biden administration came out after Roe was reversed and said that they just weren't going to force the Comstock act and it was essentially meaningless and nothing has happened since. This is ridiculous. The DOJ needs to immediately come out and be like, yep, we have a federal Comps Act. It's been the law of the land since 1890. Democrats amended it in the 1960s. So everyone knows it's law and we are going to start enforcing it, meaning we're going to stop chemical abortion pills from being mailed to from pro abortion states into pro life states. It would help everybody out and save a ton of babies and moms. Okay, other wins, we have seen great pro life cabinet appointments. We saw a freeze on Title 10 grant funding from HHS to Planned Parenthood. In the abortion lobby, we've seen momentum in a number of areas. So some of Planned Parenthood's tail 10 money was frozen very early on in this new year, even before the BBB pending investigations as to whether or not affiliates were actually in compliance with the new government wide, you know, nixing of those crazy DEI regulations. We saw historic Momentum towards defunding Planned Parenthood. We saw his cabinet picks were strong. I mean, of course Vice President JD Vance is very pro life. Former center and now Secretary Marco Rubio. Secretary of State has actually done a lot to upend the whole State Department and its a sestuous. Abortion funding throughout the world has ended all that. Pam Bondi was appointed, nominated and confirmed Attorney General who's obviously pro life Harmony. Dylan is assistant Attorney General. She is a lawyer for David's Lyon, the Center for Medical Progress. Strong pro life choices have been made. Disappointments. Let's go through that list. The FDA approved a generic abortion pill this fall. What the hell? The Biden administration actually delayed approval on it. And yet the Trump administration was like, we have to, it's federal law. We have to approve a generic. Yet they didn't have to do it and yet they did. The Deep State pro abortion Deep state is still operating at the FDA in my opinion. The other thing we saw was that the Trump administration took steps to expand ivf, which kills more children every year in America than abortion. Now. It was a win that the IVF kind of press conference they held at the, in the West Wing at the Oval Office was a mandate forcing employers to cover and pay for ivf. And health insurance still wasn't great because the president used his bully pulpit to urge employers to cover IVF in their insurance plans and even made a deal with IVF drug companies who profit off of the despair and infertility crippling American women to lower the prices. Not like, I don't know, fight back against why do we have infertility in our country? Maybe it's because we're drinking abortion chemicals in our water. Maybe it's because women have been put on birth control since they were like 12 or 13 and they've been taking artificial drugs to suppress a natural, I don't know, thing that their body's supposed to be doing. I don't know, call me crazy. It's kind of been mixed signals from an administration that prides itself on being pro life and it's very concerning and obviously it speaks to, to be honest with you, the lack of education even within pro life circles with pro life politicians about what IVF really is and what it really does. But the bbb, that was a great first step and it was probably beyond appointing and nominating pro life justice. Supreme Court President Trump should forever be remembered as the president who's the first president ever to sign into law a bill that defunded Planned Parenthood. This was huge because for 19 years of students for Life's existence, we were told on Capitol Hill that this was not going to be possible. And Medicaid, which is the lion's share of Planned Parenthood Sparrow funding, counts about 80%. We were always told there's, well, we could, you know, we could go after this title 10 grant or this piecemeal grant, but Medicaid's Medicaid, and we can't touch that. The bad news is it was only one year, wasn't 10 years. The good news is we proved it's possible, and now they got to do it again. All right, now I want to reflect on what went down within our movement in 2025, not just President Trump. All right, so in January, Students for Life hosted the Pro Life Generation again at our National Pro Life Summit, which is always held the day after the National Pro Life March. It's the largest pro life training event of the year. Happens every January after the National Pro Life March. And it was pretty exciting. Yes, Roe was overturned in 2022, but we all know that there is so much more work to be done because abortions are still happening. And largely they're happening still about the same numbers as they were before Roe was reversed because of chemical abortion pills. So the day after the march, we gathered together to strategize, get marching orders. Our sold out audience heard from pro life leaders like Abby Johnson, Trent Horn, Dr. Ben Carson, Bethany Hamilton, and the one and only Charlie Kir. I was so honored to have Charlie at the Pro Life Summit this year and give him our Defender of Life award. And I will forever be grateful for his pragmatic clearing call to the pro life movement. On stage at the National Pro Life Summit in June, we gathered for the national Celebrate Life weekend in Washington D.C. this was right in the middle of the budget showdown. We were waiting for the BBB to be passed. There was all these like behind the scenes negotiation going on. And we made it very clear that Planned Parenthood and Big Abort must be defunded and we must fund families. In fact, we brought together, I would believe would be America's largest diaper diaper display ever. We had collected 392,000 diapers, many of whom were donated, thanks to you all, every Life Pro Life diapers. And we displayed most of those diapers on the Capitol line. We weren't allowed to display all of them because the Capitol Police freaked out the day before showing the amount of children Planned Parenthood kills every year taxpayer of funding because of Congress's inaction. And then we Donated all those diapers to local families, churches and pregnancy centers around the D.C. metro area. It was epic. My staff I think is still has sunburns from moving all of these diapers. I mean they literally came on a huge 18 wheel trailer and we had no forklift. It had to be hand moved. It was, it was crazy. Ask anyone who works with Students for Life at the Virginia headquarters what they had to do to get those diapers and get them on Capitol Hill. They will tell you some stories. Grassroots growth. That's the next thing I want to talk about. We hit over 1600. We are now on over 1600 campuses across the country with Students for Life. And I'm so honored to work with so many amazing leaders. More than 1600 students for life leaders on high school and college campuses and men law schools across the country. We reach more than 250,000 students trained in our 19th century 19 and a half year history. We're almost 20 years. We saw more than 12,000 events hosted for life on college campuses. We are so proud to be the pro life movement's talent pipeline. Where we see pro life young leaders stepping up courageously, speaking for life, learning how to speak for life effectively, how to become leaders and recruit peers to do hard things in their campuses that then go on to launch their own ministries, nonprofits run for office. It's amazing. And guess what? We even did more for those who weren't even on campus. This year with our abortion campaign for Abortion Free Cities. We launched our most successful ever summer of service campaign where students for Life members, students for Life alumni, Pro life community members went door to door neighborhoods advertising for pregnancy resource centers with wagons chock full of diapers and wipes where they were giving out free resources. We have learned a staggering number at the Campaign for Abortion recidivities and that 73% of our neighbors do not know what pregnancy resource center is and have no idea where it's located in their neighborhood, even some neighborhoods where you can walk to them. Yet Planned Parenthood is and continues to be a household name. If we really want to flip the script on Americans approval rating of Planned Parenthood, how they feel about the pro life movement, how they feel about supporting legislators who will vote for life, fund families non abortion. We have to educate our communities about what it is and what we do in the pro life movement that we care more. That more than 2700 pregnancy resource centers across our country and maternity homes operate every single day. They provide more than $400 million of in kind service and goods and give out goods to community members and families. It's amazing and I'm so honored. Our campaign for abortion free city is now more than 40C across the country, uniting students for life alumni, grassroots activists of all ages to speak out to help support women families to promote pregnancy resource centers and speak out against the violence of the abortion industry. Now I want to talk about the challenges, some of the challenges we face in 2025. The biggest challenge is the very clear one and the one you'll see my poster behind me of Charlie Kirk. Losing Charlie Kirk was by far our deepest wound to the pro life movement this year. Charlie was not only he was an impactful leader within the conservative movement and a brilliant member of the pro life generation. Charlie had a very unique ability to bring together different factions within the conservative movement, pro life and pro abortion people to talk with administration members to get them on board with supporting life and reminding them of the pro life movement's very clear plank in the Republican party platform. Losing Charlie wasn't just, you know, losing a friend. Losing Charlie meant we lost a figurehead, a spokesperson for this movement, but we also lost that person who behind the scenes every day was working to help the pro life movement advance our strategic goals. Charlie was a connector. He was a diplomat who could see through, you know, petty strategy debates or fake debates to, to night folks and to get folks on board with our shared goal of, I don't know, abolishing all abortion. And he helped many, many organizations and leaders and there's not very many leaders, I can honestly say, within our movement, within the conservative movement that have that gift or even care enough to do that behind the scenes, thankless work that you don't get to see. As soon as Charlie was assassinated, we made a very clear decision at students for life that we were not going to let fear of terrorism or pro abortion zealots stop our work. He was killed in the middle of our campus tours, but we immediately committed to not stopping. We had to regroup and get our security protocols in place and spend a little bit more money on security that was budgeted, maybe a lot more. But this was so worth it because we've got to continue carrying our legacy and Charlie's legacy to college campuses across the country. And we will continue to do so. The other challenge we faced this year was an increasingly prominent role that chemical abortion and the chemical abortion industry is playing in the pro life movement in our battle to end abortion. Insane government policy allowing abortion drugs to be ordered online, to be shipped, shipped, spent through the mail to anyone minors Sex abusers. That continues because of what I said earlier. The first segment, the Comstock act is not being enforced by the Department of Justice. The FDA has now allowed another pill, a generic MIF prestone to be on the market, which we also know is polluting our waterways. Despite Roe being overTurned, half of US states are taking and in fact the half of our US states have taken steps to ban or severely limit abortion. Every single state is flooded with chemical abortion drugs. So abortions are happening in every state. I don't care what state you live in in 2025. In May 2025 actually the Pro life movement came together to promote a bomb style bombshell report that was released from our friends at the eppc, the Ethics and Public Policy center, showing that insurance industry data that chemical abortion pills are 22 times more dangerous than the FDA has ever let on or ever told us when they approve the drug. We've been raising the flags, Students for Life and Students for Life action about the environmental concern about chemical abortion pills. How they're tainting our public waterways with chemical abortion pills with anti progesterone metabolites. They're still present in our drinking water. We actually commissioned a study, been releasing this study to lawmakers across the country and there'll be peer reviewed, published in 2026. Thankfully, we were able to see more than 20 states take action and introduce more than 16 pieces of, well, 20 pieces of legislation in 16 states where legislators in these 16 states introduce chemical abortion prevention acts, regulation acts, doing all that we can to end chemical abortion. We have a couple of bills that students will have. The chemical abortion Anti Chemical Abortion Trafficking act, which stops the illegal trafficking which we saw passed in Texas, known as the Women Child Protection Act. It was signed into law in September. We have our Clean Water for All Life act which regulates water and says you can't pollute the water with aborted babies, which will shut down the abortion industry in those states because they have no pragmatic way of collecting the remains of children they horrifically abort. We have a lot of creative ideas for how to attack chemical abortion and the chemical abortion industry. And we're still though so I'm still looking for more ideas. Another challenge we faced this year was ivf. It's very clear that more Americans never support IVF and they support IVF more than they support abortion, even though IVF claims more lives every year than abortion. In fact, a CBSUGOV poll last year found that 86% of Americans think IVF should remain legal for women seeking to get pregnant and only 14% of Americans think it should be illegal in 2025. We've had to confront this more head on and this disconnect because unfortunately self proclaimed pro life legislators, lawmakers and the president have all talked about expanding IVF and what great idea it is. Senator Katie Britt, Senator Ted Cruz have introduced legislation on this and they've even tried to frame it as being pro life. But IVF is not pro life and it's time that we confront this. IVF furthers the notion that children are mere accessories that be tacked into families who want them. But no matter how good the end of IVF might be, the meaning, the intention, you know, hopefully a live baby, live birth, a baby being born, the means can never justify the end. Creating a child in a lab, turning women surrogates into incubators, and most important the direct killing via the freezing and discarding and the research testing on children in the embryonic stage via IVF is unethical and is not pro life. I'm so proud to say in 2025 we stepped up our game of students for life. I did several podcast episodes, we've done several educational videos and content digging into how IVF is actually done. Practice the statistics, why it's wrong, what's dehumanizing. It's helped us, we saw with the administration, we turned you know, what was going to be an insurance mandate into insurance suggestion which was not a great win, but it was a small win and I'll take it. We also saw challenges within the movement creating division with our movement, unnecessary division like 1990, early 90s and late 1980s division with the movement. It was a, you know, a big year for the pro prosecutionists who have decided that they don't want to attack the abortion industry. In fact their founder went to the Washington Post and said this publicly that they don't spend their days attacking the abortionistry or planned parent. You know, people like killing babies, they want to spend their time attacking the pro life movement. It's unbelievable the division disunity that we're seeing and it has real life consequences. For example in Oklahoma when our anti chemical abortion pill trafficking act was introduced passed the House was in the Senate. We had like a leaning pro choice Republican. We were trying to ensure this Republican that listen, like this just adheres to the actual law of Oklahoma that abortions are illegal. This will make sure that sex predators, rapists, minors can't get these drugs. Like we need to pass this bill. And one of these pro prosecutionists legislators actually attached an amendment to, to put prosecution on women into the bill, which he knew when he did that would make the bill non movable, that would kill the bill because there was no vote in the Oklahoma Senate to put mothers in jail who've had abortions. And we can disagree about that. We can have, I mean there's strong. Everybody's got a different opinion on that. But the reality was there wasn't the votes and it just killed this bill. So what's the result? Chemical abortion pills are still flooding into Oklahoma completely unchecked because this bill was killed from a pro prosecutionist, someone who says that they believe that all abortions are a human rights tragedy, as do I, and also says that they want them to be ended and abolished. As do I. This is a problem because we as a pro life movement have to be smart and strategically understand where we have the votes and where we don't have the votes and where we need to get the votes and what elections we need to play in. And if we don't have the votes, we can't be killing pro life bills that maybe aren't the best pro life bills or maybe aren't the bills that are going to end all abortion but one some abortions. Because at the end of the day, talking about ending abortion is not like tax policy. There are actual human lives at risk. And so when you kill a bill that was going to save some children, but not all children, you're saying you think some of those children should die or it's acceptable that some of them should die or while we don't have the votes to end all abortions. It's crazy. Pro lifers, we all agree that we want to abolish abortion. We can disagree tactically on strategy of, you know, how mean we should be to a politician at times, how hard we should push versus when we should ease up, that's common. You see that movements all the time. But we should be attacking each other, we shouldn't be protesting each other, which is what's been the crazy thing about this year. And I can think, you know, for our part, Students for Life and one of our strategic goals at Students for Life is to build coalitions to build unity amongst those who share a goal of like actually abolishing abortion. We want to do that. And you know, I understand some of these pro prosecutionists have side quests, right? Like making sure women do submit to men and don't hold positions of leadership, which makes them hate the pro life movement because it's filled with a bunch of women leaders. They also want to promote like niche Christian theologies, which I would say are diametrically opposed to Catholic teaching. So, I mean, they also hate many of us because we're just Catholic. And you know, you can see this on their social media and their videos and things like that. But I think we have to re recognize what's going on and call some of this insanity out because we don't have time for this crap. Babies are literally dying. More than a thousand babies every day are killed in our country by our leading abortion vendor, Goliath Planned Parenthood. They're still receiving some taxpayer funds, not all. They could be receiving more if we don't get their act together and make defunding Planned Parenthood permanent or get them debarred. But now ain't the time. Now's the time to build unity, to build coalitions, to hold leaders and political leaders accountable, to engage in Republican primaries and make sure we're always moving the, I guess you could say the farm team of the Republican Party more. Right. More pro life on our issue and that you do that by engaging in elections. We need to do that and there's very strategic steps we need to follow to get the job done. But we shouldn't be dealing with this insanity. All right, let's talk about some wins. So as I mentioned earlier, Texas, Texas led the way in passing the Women Child Protection act, which was model office Students for Life's action Anti Chemical Abortion Trafficking Act. Super excited about this because this allows anyone in the state of Texas to in civil court sue someone who's shipping illegal chemical abortion drugs into the state, sue them up to $100,000, which basically will put them out of business. Since the federal government and the DOJ has refused to enact act and refused to enforce the Comstock Act, Texas is going about it in a different way and they're going to start basically enforcing the Comstock act in their state through this very creative law. Super excited about that. And I'm excited to see hopefully Oklahoma pass this bill in the 2026 year and see it spread throughout states across our country. We also are up to 48 Planned Parenthood closures across America. Last week, the week of, well, no, a couple weeks ago, it was a week of Thanksgiving, there were three more that closed in Wisconsin. And often you hear from the narrative, it's like, oh, these Republican states shutting down Planned Parenthoods and health care for them. Most of these planned parents are being shut down in Democrat blue states. So they're losing money and they were shutting down Clinics even before the BBB was signed into law July 4th. I am here for it. They've reported and there's been numerous. There was a New York Times kind of expose of Planned Parenthood in February talking about their high staff turnover, the widespread issues with patient care, botched procedures. This was a big year for Planned Parenthood and not a good way. Planned Parenthood has often tried to, you know, do the sob story, but I think it's starting to wear off. One of their Planned Parenthood closures was the Margaret Sanger center in New York City, which was named after their eugenic founder Margaret Sanger. In November, their huge mega abortion facility in Houston, which was the largest abortion facility in the western hemisphere. That shutdown. I can't wait to get back to Houston, take a victory picture in front of that, that former abortion facility. This is huge. It's going to hopefully continue and we got to keep continuing the momentum as their defunding hopefully is renewed and the budget reconciliation 2.0. Another big wins we saw in North Carolina because the students who have actions work and the state legislative primaries in 2024. We've seen some really strong pro life leaders elected to the state House when their first actions was to pass a bill to defund planned parent state Medicaid money. It's passed both chambers. I think one of the chambers has to now vote again to repass it. The sad fact is it's going to go to the governor, Josh Stein's his desk and he is not pro life. But we are hoping through grassroots action that he will let this bill become a law. But once again, it speaks to why pro lifers have to be involved in the political process. We also saw our first ever victory at Students for Life Action's future Pro Life Champions initiative where our own executive vice president, Tina Whittington was elected to her local school board, which if you've been paying attention in Virginia this year, there was a lot of news stories like in Fairfax County, Virginia, where there's accusations that staff at a public high school have been shuttling women, arranging young girls and using public funds to pay for abortion on minors. It's crazy. So we are so excited for Tina and her work at the fair in her Orange County, Virginia school board. If you are interested in running for office in 2026 and 2028 and you want to learn how to be a pro life legislative champion, whether it's right for school boards, city council, state ledges, your state legislative elections, House or Senate, I would encourage you to email us you can email Ryan Hoppe at Students for Life Action R C Hoppy H O P P e students for lifeaction.org and tell Ryan you need to get involved and you want help in running for office. We would love, love, love to hear from you. So that is some of our wins. I have lots more. My personal wins have been many of the conversations. Many of them are way too personal. Reveal on a podcast with Students for Life leaders across the country. The text messages the DMS that I receive on a daily basis from former pro choice students who've seen a video. I've seen videos of students yelling at me and cursing at me on campus who have now reconsidered their views on abortion have changed their mind. My personal joy is when I get to meet pro life youth leaders, Students for Life leaders who I've seen and met in high school, throughout high and in college and now are launching their own pro life pregnancy centers and nonprofits. So excited for all that. And you all know who you are because you DM me looking ahead into 2026, we are going to have a big fight in Virginia for their abortion amendment. Democrats now have swept Richmond and they have all but promised in blood to put in the Constitution of Virginia an amendment that will allow abortion up until the moment of birth. They want to make Virginia a safe haven for killing babies throughout the American South. And we are going to be massively outspent in 2026. We're going to need your help door knocking, raising money for digital ads, personal text messaging campaigns, everything we can do to educate voters in Virginia and Old dominion before the November 2026 elections. If you want to get involved, go. Students for LifeAction.org Virginia Students for LifeAction.org Virginia we're going to have ballot referendum fights, defensive fights in Idaho and Nevada as well. There'll be an offensive fight to try to repeal the pro abortion ballot referendum in Missouri as well. So there'll be four states, but there'll be abortion ballot referendums will be fighting and engaging in 2026. We also have, as I mentioned my previous episode, reconciliation 2.0 is coming up in January where we have to renew Planned Parenthood defunding so they don't get funding again starting on July 4th, America's birthday, 250th birthday in July 4th, 2026. And we want the maximum defunding, which is 10 years, which is what the House representatives actually passed this spring, but then the Senate parliamentarian whittled it down to one year. We're going to have to put pressure on our Senate leaders to fire the Senate parliamentarian or sure she doesn't whittle that down. And to make sure the House representatives starts the budget reconciliation process mandating that no federal funds should go to Planned Parenthood through Medicaid for the maximum 10 years. We're also going to be gearing up in states and we're going to be hosting a lobby day in every state capitol that has a legislative session. It's 46 this year to pass and introduce at the minimum, introduce legislation to restrict or stop chemical abortions from happening in those states. Texas has given us a blueprint with passing the Anti Chemical Abortion Trafficking Act. We've already seen the bill passed the Oklahoma House. We need to get get passed in Oklahoma Senate. Hopefully the pro prosecutionists don't try to kill it again. We have other states that are coming online. Wisconsin, for example, introduce our Clean Water for All Life act which doesn't ban chemical abortion, but it does basically make it impossible for chemical abortion vendors to operate in the state because it says you can't pollute water with aborted human remains. So like I said, we have some creative ideas. We're going to hopefully have as many as 20 states introducing anti chemical abortion legislation and we're going to need your help. And I hope, by the way, you have signed up and are RSVP to join us at National Pro Life Summit on Saturday, January 24th in Washington D.C. the day after the National Pro Life March. Because we have this so much to talk about this and so much more on that day of what's ahead for us in 2026 and as we head into 2028. This episode is brought to you by the Pro Lifegen Shop and our brand new hot off the press Planned Parenthood Tears mug. This is a custom Kristin Hawkins designed mug that I specifically requested because I have been waiting for a long, long time for Planned Parenthood to be funded. So for $10, actually $9.99, you can get your Planned Parenthood Tears mug. So just go to shop.prolifegen.org and get your mug today and you can sip your coffee or energy drink in my case in a brand new mug celebrating the fact that we finally defunded Planned Parenthood because of you and I. 2025 proved that victory is possible once again. If you didn't learn the lesson from Rose Rose reversal and everyone said it was impossible once again we proved in 2025 that victory is possible and we finally defunded Planned Parenthood is because you you prayed. You worked. You fought so hard for the winds we saw this year. Now we also mourned substantial losses, campaign setbacks, legislation, legislation that was defeated that shouldn't have been defeated. Senseless, stupid infighting that takes up time and divides attention away from our goal of abolishing abortion, the loss of our friend Charlie. But we endured and we got stronger and we got larger. And that's what matters in social movement, because you have to play the long game. So I can't wait to see you at National Pro Life Summit on Saturday, Saturday, January 24, and at the National Pro Life March on Friday, January 23. I cannot wait to see you there. I'll be there outside, passing out signs as I usually am, and I'll be at the summit, running around, taking pictures and meeting as many of you as possible. I can't wait to see you there. If you want to hear from me daily, make sure you sign up for my text line. Just text the word. Kristen 2:53:44:5. Until next year, keep speaking up for the voiceless and stand for life.
