National Right to Life is celebrating the final passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a major pro-life win that defunds the abortion industry.

The bill passed narrowly—218 to 214—but the impact is sweeping.

NRLC President Carol Tobias praised congressional leaders for keeping their promises and ensuring taxpayer dollars no longer subsidize abortion. “Today, Congress delivered,” she said. “This legislation sends the message that we can—and should—foster a culture that cherishes both lives.”

The following is a statement from Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.

We applaud pro-life members in Congress and pro-life leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, for keeping their promises to the American people and delivering a bill that prevents taxpayer funds from subsidizing the abortion industry.

For decades, Americans have made it clear that they do not want their tax dollars funding abortion. Today, Congress delivered.

Women deserve compassionate, life-affirming care that upholds the dignity of both the mother and the baby. This legislation sends the message that we can—and should—foster a culture that cherishes both lives.
