July 4, 2026, is, of course, the 250th birthday of the United States. It’s also the day we might resume federal funding of the abortion giant Planned Parenthood.

Don’t Republicans have control of Congress and the White House? Hasn’t the pro-abortion side been warning that a second Donald Trump term would see the introduction of all kinds of restrictions on abortion? That doctors would be forced to ensure that babies are born at all costs to pregnant women (which was either a scare tactic or the result of honest confusion, but never true)? That pro-lifers don’t care about women or babies after birth (never mind the many debates about family leave, foster care, and adoption that are being debated on the political right)?
