As President-elect Donald Trump appointed the two businessmen to lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have recently made a lot of new friends and enemies. The most recent item on that list is none other than Planned Parenthood, much to the pleasure of conservatives and pro-life advocates all over the nation.  ,

In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal published last week, Musk and Ramaswamy claimed that” DOGE will help end federal overspending by criticizing the$ 500 billion-plus in annual federal expenditures that Congress has authorized or that Congress never intended to use.” They particularly referred to the “nearly$ 300 million to liberal organizations like Planned Parenthood.” Pro-life X customers were happy to learn that the questionable firm may no longer receive funding from the government.  ,  ,
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy want to use the hashtags# DOGE and# DOGE to defund Planned Parenthood, but that taxpayer dollars are not being used to finance a cause that causes the death of millions of children.
Great win for living.

Success for life! Plans to reduce national funding for Planned Parenthood have been made by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. No American tax may be required to pay for the murder of innocent children. This is a big step toward protecting living &, liberty! photograph. twitter.com/EOXJLIpECT— Patrick Coffin (@CoffinMedia ) November 23, 2024

As you might imagine, Planned Parenthood itself did n’t take the news too well. But the group’s president and CEO, Alexis McGill Johnson, handled it like an adult. Only kidding. She called Musk and Ramaswamy titles:  ,
President-elect Trump is n’t nominating leaders, he is surrounding himself with unqualified fans and providers of chaos. In the name of alleged “government productivity,” Mask and Ramaswamy are making it clear how they intend to apply their power: denying that the people cares and causing severe harm to our public health system, to which Planned Parenthood is a key component. We’ve been here before — we are never new to closure and ‘ defund’ fights. During Trump’s first word, we defened a number of these problems, and thousands of patients are also treated at Planned Parenthood health centers across the country.
Since the op-ed was called for Trump, which is n’t quite the flex it thinks it is, Planned Parenthood’s press release points out a 1200 % increase in vasectomy appointments. Is n’t letting men who do n’t want to have children take control of the situation a good thing?  ,
And, even better, is n’t it a good thing that men who are dumb enough to think Trump is going to take away their rights make it so that they’re unable to reproduce? To me, it seems like a boost to the gene pool. However, I suppose they would not agree with anything that would increase the chance of more pregnancies. Racist leader Margaret Sanger may be burying herself in a tomb.  ,

Planned Parenthood also announced a 140 % increase in meetings for gender-affirming attention, which is sadder. The organization’s website suggests that it offers hormone replacement therapy ( HRT ) to minors ages 16 and older with parental consent. But, it mentions that other medical providers may offer it to younger kids in its brief instructional manual, which details how kids and teens may obtain it, depending on state laws.  ,
