In a stunning betrayal of the conservative base that delivered Republicans control of Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is reportedly planning to exclude defunding Planned Parenthood from the GOP's upcoming party-line legislation, according to an exclusive report from the Washington Examiner.

The decision represents a massive cave to the Washington establishment and a slap in the face to pro-life Americans who worked tirelessly to give Republicans the power to finally defund the nation's largest abortion provider. Anti-abortion organizations are now scrambling to pressure House and Senate leadership to reverse course before it's too late.

Johnson's spineless move comes as Republicans prepare to pass immigration enforcement legislation in the coming weeks, but GOP leadership is apparently "resisting attempts to expand the scope" beyond border security. Since when did defending innocent life become too controversial for the so-called "pro-life" party?

Grassroots Patriots FURIOUS at Johnson's Weakness

Conservative Americans are already expressing their outrage on social media, with many calling for Johnson's removal. One frustrated patriot on Twitter declared: "Skip Johnson. Follow the rules to remove and go over his role as Speaker!" The anger is palpable among the base who expected bold action, not more establishment capitulation.

This latest betrayal raises serious questions about Johnson's commitment to conservative principles. President Trump has made it clear that his second term is about delivering real results for the America First agenda – not playing footsie with the same failed Republican establishment that got us into this mess.

"How can we trust GOP leadership to fight for our values when they won't even use their power to stop taxpayer funding of abortion mills?"

The pro-life movement has been crystal clear: defunding Planned Parenthood isn't just a campaign promise – it's a moral imperative. Yet Johnson seems more concerned with keeping the Washington swamp happy than delivering for the Americans who put him in power.

Patriots need to ask themselves: if Republicans won't fight for life when they control Congress and the White House, when exactly will they fight? The time for excuses is over – it's time for Johnson to lead or get out of the way.

How can Johnson call himself pro-life and then turn around and allow our tax dollars to continue funding the largest abortion provider in America? The hypocrisy is staggering.

This is exactly why I've lost faith in the Republican establishment. All talk during election season, then they cave the moment they have to actually fight for our values.

I've been volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center for 15 years, and it breaks my heart to see politicians abandon the unborn for political convenience.

What's his excuse this time? I want to hear how he justifies this to the millions of pro-life Americans who trusted him.

He'll probably blame the Democrats and say he had no choice. Same old playbook.

Johnson has shown his true colors. Time to find someone with an actual spine to lead the House.

I am absolutely disgusted but not surprised. These establishment RINOs always find a way to betray the very people who voted them into office.

Exactly! This is why we need to primary these fake conservatives.
