Alaska Right To Life | Ending Abortion in Alaska

Alaska Right to Life

Minutemen & The Spirit of 1776

By

WE NEED MINUTEMEN FOR LIFE

         Pro-life Alaskans must unite for action now, or next session, our legislature will extend abortion’s deadly reach into virtually every community pharmacy in Alaska, targeting indigenous families in remote areas.

Sen. Cathy Giessel has expertly converted her SB 147 / HB 195 in the sheep’s clothing of a pharmacy modernization bill into a legal gateway for pharmacists to dispense chemical abortions via some 300 statewide sites, i.e. doctor’s offices, clinics, and pharmacies in every corner of Alaska. In fact SB 147 is designed after Washington State’s Pharmacist Abortion Access Project, and Sen. Giessel has already assembled a large enough pack of wolves & RINOS to make the same project a reality in Alaska.  

        Yet there is hope in a Minuteman style of political action, if substantial numbers of pro-life Alaskans enlist in Alaska Right to Life’s grassroots campaign to defend Alaskan families from SB 147.  New Minutemen & women join Alaska Right to Life’s ranks every day, but to meet the immediate threat we need a significantly large bolus before the fall session.  It only takes a minute to enlist, and it usually takes only a few minutes to answer the occasional calls to action by which Alaska Right to Life rallies pro-life citizens for coordinated action at crucial junctures. 

Are Minutemen effective?  Alaska Right to Life mustered 2,000 Minutemen in a two-week battle last year that forced the Legislature into an historic joint session of the Legislature and won a 58 to 1 vote (out of 60) to preserve the State’s Midwives Board – and protects women’s right to choose where and with whom they would birth their children. 

Accomplishing such a feat with a Republican Governor, Republican Senate President, and Republican House Speaker – all united in their opposition to the joint session – showed Alaska just how much can be accomplished by a small number of pro-life Alaskans lighting brushfires of life and liberty around the state.

This is a most critical juncture. Short of a miracle, Sen. Giessel’s pack can trust Alaska’s gubernatorial shepherd to stand tall and look the other way, and even to overlook the fangs underneath the wooly cover of SB 147 when it lands on his desk. 

       We don’t have to let this nightmare continue. Instead, like our founding fathers, we must adopt new forms of battle. Alaska Right to Life has constructed an effective grassroots militia which enables busy Alaskans to take effective political action a few minutes at a time, in a concerted effort that will gradually force career politicians to shape up or be shipped out. True, abortion will not go the way of slavery immediately, nor without prayer and fasting, but God requires that we do what we can  in the present moment, and we can save countless Alaskan families from the horrors of SB 147 if we begin now. It takes only a couple of minutes to visit alaskarighttolife.org and scroll to the Stop Abortion Pill Expansion button underneath the young soldier you’ll find on the front page. 

When you enlist, you’ll receive an email confirming your petition has been received, is being processed, printed, and prepared for delivery.  When the bill(s) have a hearing or move closer to a vote, you’ll be alerted.  Alaska Right to Life does not sell, share, or spam your email.

            Our Founding Fathers fought the British from several directions and fronts.  The Brits and their mercenaries came from the north, south, and at many points along the Atlantic Sea coast.  Like them, pro-lifers are fighting the battle against abortion on many fronts. 

Big Pharma has aimed all of its guns at Alaska in support of SB 147. 

Planned Parenthood is fighting with all its might to re-establish abortion funding after losing one year of Medicaid money from HR 1, the Big, Beautiful Bill.

            Big Abortion is pushing pro-abortion constitutional amendments across the country.

            Like our Founding Fathers, we are embattled on every front.  Out gunned, low on ammunition, and in desperate need of more Minutemen for the battles ahead.

But we have another weapon that still hasn’t been used here in Alaska. 

            Alaska’s Constitution is “dedicated to the principle that all persons have a natural right to life… are equal and entitled to equal rights, opportunities, and protections under law.”

            Our property and criminal laws recognize unborn babies’ property and inheritance rights while protecting them from crimes from the moment of conception “through all stages of development.”

     But our Governors, Legislators, and all levels of Alaska’s courts have excluded unborn children from those rights and protections in the case of abortion.  In fact, Alaska’s courts have ruled against babies nearly 50 times, stripping away their equal opportunity rights, their equal protection rights, their rights to live, and even their right to be recognized as persons – as human children.

      Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health overturned Roe v Wade in 2022 by affirming that “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision…”  Justice Alito continues in the Majority Opinion stating that “the right to regulate [abolish] abortion belongs to the people and their representatives.

Dobbs profoundly changed the legal landscape, cleared judicial obstacles, and opened a more direct route to protecting babies.

  • Dobbs affirmed that there is no right to abortion in the US Constitution.
  • Dobbs affirmed that the “right” to abortion cannot be inferred or interpreted. 
  • Dobbs eliminated the specter of pro-abortion judicial overreach that has haunted Pro-Lifers for 50 years: the right to abolish abortion “belongs to the people and their representatives.”
  • Dobbs recognized and reinforced the Constitutional Authority and Duty to Abolish Abortion without judicial interference.

            If we are to prevail; if we are to protect babies in the womb; if we are to establish, recognize, and protect their rights to live, to be free, to enjoy the liberties purchased for us by our Founding Fathers 250 years ago, we must fight on one more front, and wage war with our greatest legal weapon.

$3.36M On The Line for Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood to lose $3.36M

July 2, 2025

There is a lot of talk about HR 1, The Big, Beautiful Bill (BBB) Act of 2025, but most of that talk is focused on immigration, energy, firearms, and Medicaid – on a broad scale.

What interests us most is how the BBB will affect the number of abortions you and I pay for here in Alaska.

While there is no clear, black and white expectation for Medicaid funded abortions in Alaska, we can come to some fairly informed conclusions:

The Alaska Planned Parenthood could lose as much as $3.36 Million Dollars as early as October 2nd, 2025, regardless of whether Alaska continues to fund and pay for abortions.

Here’s how that works:

The Alaska Planned Parenthood is part of a much larger affiliate (think franchise) called Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky.  I’ll refer to them throughout this article as PPGNW.

Making up the ‘Northwest’ portion of the affiliate are Alaska, Idaho, and Washington.  

PPGNW’s latest tax return (2022) shows roughly $33,372,286 in Medicaid funded income.

Planned Parenthood Alaska saw 5,091 individual “patients” in 2023, accounting for approximately 11% of all PPGNW patients.

The $3.36M at ‘risk’ here in Alaska is 10.08% of the $33,372,286 PPGNW took in from Medicaid in 2022.

Where HR 1, or the Big, Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 comes in is Section 71113 of the bill.  Section 71113 deals with Medicaid funding to “prohibited entities.”  In essence, Section 71113 prohibits federal Medicaid funds (defined as direct spending) from being used to reimburse a “prohibited entity” for one year if:

  1. The entity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,
  2. Is an essential community provider engaged in family planning and abortions,
  3. Performs abortions outside of Hyde Amendment exceptions (rape, incest, or life of the mother), and
  4. Received over $800,000 in Medicaid funds in FY2023.

Since PPGNW received over $33M in Medicaid funds in 2023 – it’s a safe assumption based on the 2022 tax return and 2023 annual report – they stand to lose ALL of their Medicaid funding for one year as a “prohibited entity” under Section 71113 of HR 1.

While this looks promising, a lot must happen federally and here in Alaska before the State stops paying for abortions.  Implications for Alaska include:

  1. TEMPORARY:
    • The 1-year restriction exerts significant financial and legal pressure on states to drop providers that perform abortions, even outside Medicaid.
  2. LAWSUITS:
    • Excluding providers based on Section 71113 will certainly provoke state “constitutional” challenges, especially in here in Alaska, where our courts have racked up nearly 50 pro-abortion opinions.
  3. JUDICIAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS:
    • Section 71113 would shift abortion-related Medicaid decisions from the state judiciary and Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) to federal statute, overriding some aspects of federal administrative law.
  4. ANNUAL RENEWALS:
    • Though only valid for one year, this provision could be renewed annually, gradually reshaping national Medicaid policy without permanent structural change.

Here’s what we know.  If Section 71113 of HR 1, the BBB is enacted:

  • All federal Medicaid funds for all services (e.g., contraception, STI testing, wellness) provided by Planned Parenthood in Alaska would be cut off, even if:
    • Abortions are paid entirely with state dollars,
    • And even though the state itself defines them as “medically necessary”.
  • The financial outcome would not target abortion, but instead:
    • Strip federal funding from all of the lower value services that Planned Parenthood uses to establish a commercial relationship with abortion vulnerable women.

Payments to Planned Parenthood for anything other than abortions with either State or Federal money, will have to STOP.

  • Planned Parenthood will immediately lose about $2.8 Million in State and Federal Medicaid income for non-abortion services based on PPGNW’s 2022 tax return.

Given that Planned Parenthood controls 23 of the 60 members of the Legislature, they’re sure to have a strong influence on how the Legislature views this massive loss to the abortion corporation.

More than that, both the Legislature and the Administration could use previous court opinions to justify continuing to pay Planned Parenthood from unrestricted State funds.  Beyond that, there are still several options available (and many more I couldn’t conceive of):

  • Alaska could simply delay payments until next year, when the defunding measures are set to expire.  It wouldn’t be the first time Alaska was slow to pay her debts.
  • Alaska could delay payments until later this year when they can submit a Supplemental Budget.
  • Alaska could continue funding those payments with money transferred from other parts of the State Operating Budget.
    • Former Senate Finance Chair Bert Stedman has referred to $500 MILLION budget discrepancies as “decimal dust.”  What’s a measly $3.3M transfer in a dusty ledger of budget transfers?
    • They may have to make formal adjustments to the budget for doing so – a move not likely to gain much traction, as they would have to call a Special Session of the Legislature.

In addition to the $2.8M above, Alaska pays Planned Parenthood approximately $500,000 per year for abortions. 

  • That money will be explicitly prohibited from the Medicaid budget by Section 71113.
  • Like the non-abortion funding and payments, Alaska could simply dig that money out of the “decimal dustbin” and continue paying for babies to be killed.

Will Alaska continue funding and paying for abortions with money outside of State or Federal Medicaid allocations?  At this point, nobody knows.

But what we know for sure is that regardless of how abortions are funded and paid for, Planned Parenthood is established as a “prohibited entity” under federal Medicaid which could prohibit Alaska from paying Planned Parenthood for anything from the Medicaid program.

And we know that unless you and I act, we should expect the State to find a way to continue abortion funding and payments from sources other than Medicaid.

What you can do.

Sign the petition to end abortion funding and payments.  Each petition will be printed and delivered to Governor Dunleavy, Senate Republican leader Mike Shower, and House Republican leader Mia Costello.

Is Planned Parenthood On The Ropes

By

Is Planned Parenthood Funding On The Ropes?

The US Supreme Court just ruled in Medina v Planned Parenthood that states like Alaska can defund Planned Parenthood BECAUSE they are abortionists.

That’s right – South Carolina kicked Planned Parenthood out of the State Medicaid program because Planned Parenthood kills babies.

Planned Parenthood sued under 42 U.S.C. §1983, which is an ‘individual rights’ provision in federal law and lost.

The outcome of the case is that states like Alaska can kick Planned Parenthood out of their Medicaid programs – DEFUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD at the state level – and not face a federal lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. §1983.

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

The real fight in Alaska hasn’t even started.

Planned Parenthood controls 23 of 60 seats in the Legislature.

The Democrats demonstrated early this year that they have veto power in their caucuses.

Governor Dunleavy has not shown any particular strength with respect to protecting babies waiting to be born.

Alaska’s courts have nearly 20 notches in their pro-abortion belt over the past 30 years.

While other Governors and Legislatures across America will act on this victory, Alaska’s government will have to be forced into defunding abortion.

What Will It Take to Defund Abortion in Alaska?

First, Alaska’s Medicaid laws allow an administrative or policy based removal – again, we don’t have a Governor or administration that’s ready or willing to take that action.

Next, despite the fact that Alaskans overwhelmingly voted for Republican Representation in the Legislature, both House and Senate are controlled by Democrat run caucuses. 

In other words, the Legislature is an abortion rights battleground – and our Republicans have demonstrated very little will to stand up for the unborn.

Pressure is Required

That pressure can come from the Federal Government, or from Alaskans like you and me.

Or BOTH.

We cannot control the Federal Government.

But we can put pressure on our elected representatives and Governor to protect babies in Alaska by defunding Planned Parenthood.

apply pressure now

It’s been three years since the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health opinion OVERTURNED Roe v Wade.

That opinion affirmed what we’ve said for more than 50 years:

The Constitution – US and Alaska – does not recognize a right to abortion.

Additionally, no part of the Constitution can be interpreted or inferred to recognize a right to abortion.

Since there is no right to abortion, there is no right to abortion funding.

In fact, since life begins at conception…

And since Alaska’s Constitution recognizes that “all persons have a natural right to life…”

Then not only is there no right to abortion…

Then there is no right to abortion funding…

But allowing abortions to be performed – let alone paying for them – is a violation of every aborted baby’s right to life, to equal rights, and to equal protection under the law.

We can – and we must protect babies in the womb – and pressuring politicians to protect babies’ Constitutional rights – and their very lives – is a small but powerful act each one of us can take.

End Abortion Funding

Finally, please chip in $35, $50, $100 or any amount you can afford to help us reach more Alaskans and end abortion in Alaska.

Dobbs In 2025

DOBBS 2025

REMAINS UNFULFILLED IN ALASKA

On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court affirmed in the Dobbs v Jackson opinion what we’ve been saying for over 50 years, that there has never been a constitutional right to abortion in either the Federal or any State Constitution.

In plain, simple English, the book – or the US Constitution – is closed to the idea that there can ever be a right to kill babies.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled.  The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision…”

Majority Opinion, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health, June 24, 2022

The hope – the PROMISE of Dobbs is that it profoundly changed the legal landscape, cleared judicial obstacles, and opened a more direct route to protecting babies.

  • Dobbs affirmed that there is no right to abortion in the US Constitution.
  • Dobbs made it clear that the “right” to abortion cannot be inferred or interpreted. 
  • Dobbs gets rid of the specter of pro-abortion judicial overreach that has haunted Pro-Lifers for 50 years: the right to abolish abortion “belongs to the people and their representatives.”

The PROMISE of Dobbs recognized and reinforced the Constitutional Authority and Duty to Abolish Abortion without judicial interference.

Unfortunately, the PROMISE of Dobbs lies unfulfilled in Alaska.  Ending abortion can seem just as elusive today as it was before Dobbs overruled Roe v Wade.

The PROMISE of Dobbs recognized and reinforced the Constitutional Authority and Duty to Abolish Abortion without judicial interference.

Unfortunately, the PROMISE of Dobbs lies unfulfilled in Alaska.  Ending abortion can seem just as elusive today as it was before Dobbs overruled Roe v Wade.

  • Alaska’s activist courts and “abortion rights” legal precedents remain unchallenged even though Dobbs thoroughly dismantled every argument for a “right to abortion.”
  • Dobbs affirmed our Governor’s Constitutional authority to “restrain violations of constitutional… right[s] by any officer or… political subdivision,” but abortion continues unchecked.
  • Alaska’s Legislature has the authority to make laws and spend money.  Dobbs affirmed the Legislature’s authority to prohibit funding abortions, paying for abortions, and to abolish abortion.  For now, Alaska’s Legislature seems to be bound to Roe instead of the US and Alaskan Constitutions.

DOBBS UNFULFILLED

THE STATE OF ABORTION IN ALASKA

Planned Parenthood and their allies are working harder than ever to entrench abortion into every part of our lives.

While that sounds a little over the top, the numbers don’t lie.  In addition to Planned Parenthood’s control over Alaska’s Courts, their advances in the Legislature, and in addition to their near total control over the budget process, Planned Parenthood is rapidly expanding their abortion business as well.

One of Planned Parenthood’s most significant expansions has been the RU-486 Chemical Abortion protocol. Planned Parenthood targets babies up to 9 weeks of life (13 weeks gestation) for Chemical Abortions. 

CONCEPTION TO 9 WEEKS OF LIFE

Chemical Abortions are essentially a take home, Do-It-Yourself (DIY), or Self-Managed Abortion in which the baby’s mother takes two pills over the span of a couple days. 

The first pill, Mifepristone, kills the baby over a grueling 48-hour period in which the baby is essentially starved, suffocated, and poisoned.  The second pill, Misoprostol, initiates the excruciating contractions that will deliver his lifeless body.

720 babies were killed at home by Self-Managed Chemical Abortions in 2024.

Nearly one half of Alaskan abortions are Self-Managed Chemical Abortions.

Planned Parenthood is increasing the number of nurses distributing Self Managed Chemical Abortion Kits.

Despite the significant increase in Self-Managed Chemical Abortions, surgical abortions are not going away.  If anything, they are increasing – dramatically. 

With earlier stage, Self-Managed Chemical Abortions being distributed by nurse-practitioner abortionists, it seems Planned Parenthood’s abortion physicians are expanding their 2nd Trimester Dilation & Evacuation (D&E) Abortions to staggering levels.

HUMANITY OF LIFE IN THE WOMB

Sadly, most D&E abortions target babies between 10 and 20 weeks of life.  Regardless of the baby’s age – from conception to natural end of life –God declared the sanctity of human life when He created man – male and female – in His image.  Shedding innocent blood – murder – is condemned and prohibited from Genesis to Revelation 22.

 Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) Abortions have skyrocketed to 231 later term surgical abortions in the same period, nearly DOUBLING the number of 2nd trimester surgical abortions in just four years.

I realize that none of this is easy to read.  It might even be downright discouraging, but I’m not going to lie to you.  The reality of abortion is horrifying. 

Fulfilling the PROMISE of Dobbs – fighting to end abortion demands we know and share, and pursue the truth.

And the truth is ugly.  Very ugly.

We live in a state where anyone convicted of murdering an unborn baby will be fined up to $500,000 and go to jail for up to 99 years, but we license abortionists to kill babies legally.

The only meaningful difference between somebody who will be fined and go to jail for killing an unborn baby, and somebody who the State will pay for the same crime is the abortionist’s license, contract, and the source of payment.

Perhaps one of the worst ironies of all is that abortionists must pass a criminal background check before they can start killing babies.

 

But there is hope.

OUR HOPE IS IN GOD

NOT IN GOVERNMENT

First, our hope is in God.  And since He has made Himself abundantly clear on His purpose for government from Genesis through Revelation, We must not be silent.

In quick flyover fashion, let’s consider a few points regarding God’s purpose for government.  These are certainly not exhaustive, but only serve the purpose of helping us understand legislation offered to protect innocent human life in the greater context of God’s design for government, chiefly to:

Protect innocent human life and punish murderers.

  • “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.”  Genesis 9:6

Administer justice by the wisdom of God.

  • When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had handed down, they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.  1 Kings 3:16

Bring God glory

  • For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth.”  Romans 9:17

Worship God.

  • “Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling. Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!”  Psalm 2:10

Reward good behavior and punish evil.

  • rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.  Romans 13:3

Since God is not silent on His purposes for government, He is not silent on the government’s role in protecting innocent human life. 

Here in America – and especially in Alaska – God has provided the means to protect children and reform our government.

Our hope is in God, that He will honor our use of the means He has provided in our Constitution(s) and the laws and court opinions that support the right to life.

The Dobbs opinion is very clear: the Constitution does not recognize a “right to abortion.”

  • “Abortion rights” cannot exist in the US or Alaska’s Constitutions.
  • “Abortion rights” are not recognized by the Constitution.
  • “Abortion rights” cannot be inferred or interpreted from any part of the Constitution.

In addition to Dobbs, things have been moving in the right direction in some Lower 48 states and nationally. 

Arkansas kicked Planned Parenthood out of their Medicaid program and prevailed in the 8th Circuit Court in 2017.

Louisiana followed but lost in the 5th Circuit Court in 2017.

Texas then prevailed in the same (5th) Circuit Court in 2020.

As mentioned above, Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health overturned Roe v Wade in June 2022.

Then on June 26, 2025, the Supreme Court released their opinion on the Medina v Planned Parenthood case, clearing the way for every state to disqualify abortionists from state Medicaid plans.

MEDINA v PLANNED PARENTHOOD, 603 U.S.

JUNE 26, 2025

In a 5–4 decision authored by Justice Alito, the Supreme Court upheld the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ (SCDHHS) decision to terminate Planned Parenthood South Atlantic as a Medicaid provider. The exclusion stemmed from executive orders by Governor Henry McMaster and was implemented by the agency without a legislative enactment. The Court held that neither the Medicaid Act, nor the First or Fifth Amendments, nor the Bill of Attainder Clause prohibits a state Medicaid agency from disqualifying a provider for performing abortions, as long as the decision is based on lawful criteria and not punitive intent.

Key Holdings

  • Executive Discretion Permissible: The Court confirmed that state Medicaid agencies have broad authority to determine “qualified providers”, and federal law does not create a private right enforceable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for patients to challenge those decisions.

  • No Right Under the Medicaid Act: The Court held that the “any qualified provider” language in the Medicaid Act does not confer an enforceable individual right because it lacks the kind of “rights-creating language” required under Gonzaga Univ. v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273 (2002).

  • First Amendment Not Implicated: The exclusion was based on conduct (performing abortions), not speech or viewpoint. The Court reiterated that withholding funding does not violate the First Amendment unless it penalizes protected expression.

  • No Bill of Attainder: The decision was administrative, not legislative; and even if legislative, the exclusion of a provider from future funding does not constitute punishment under historical or doctrinal interpretations of the Bill of Attainder Clause.

  • No Equal Protection Violation: The Court applied rational basis review and upheld the policy on the ground that states may favor childbirth over abortion in the administration of public programs.

 

Meaning for Alaska

This decision is foundational for states that wish to restrict public funding to abortion providers:

  • Affirms Broad State Authority: States may lawfully disqualify abortion providers from Medicaid based on executive or administrative decisions, so long as they are not overtly punitive or discriminatory and follow federal participation standards.

  • Limits Private Enforcement: Patients and providers cannot sue under § 1983 to enforce the “free choice of provider” provision in the Medicaid Act unless Congress speaks with clear rights-creating language, which it did not here.

  • Strategic Blueprint: States looking to defund abortion providers now have a clear path: use executive directives or agency policy rather than statutes, which may attract greater constitutional scrutiny.

  • Reinforces Post-Dobbs Federalism: The ruling exemplifies the Court’s continued emphasis on state autonomy in abortion-related policy, consistent with its reasoning in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. ___ (2022).

  • Narrows Scope of Bill of Attainder Doctrine: By distinguishing between disqualification from benefits and punishment, the Court has further insulated administrative funding decisions from Attainder Clause challenges.

As if we’re celebrating Christmas in July, the gifts just keep on giving.  On July 4th, the Big, Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law.

The part of the bill that supports our efforts to protect babies from abortion is Section 71113.

HR 1  The Big Beautiful Bill Act

Signed into Law July 4, 2025

Section 71113 prohibits federal Medicaid funds (defined as direct spending) from being used to reimburse a “prohibited entity” for one year if:

  1. The entity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,
  2. Is an essential community provider engaged in family planning and abortions,
  3. Performs abortions outside of Hyde Amendment exceptions (rape, incest, or life of the mother), and
  4. Received over $800,000 in Medicaid funds in FY2023.

Since Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest received over $33M in Medicaid funds in 2023 – it’s a safe assumption they stand to lose ALL of their Medicaid funding for one year as a “prohibited entity” under Section 71113 of HR 1.

While this looks promising, a lot must happen federally and here in Alaska before the State stops paying for abortions.  Implications for Alaska include:

  1. TEMPORARY:
    • The 1-year restriction exerts significant financial and legal pressure on states to drop providers that perform abortions, even outside Medicaid.
  2. LAWSUITS:
    • Excluding providers based on Section 71113 will certainly provoke state “constitutional” challenges, especially in here in Alaska, where our courts have racked up nearly 50 pro-abortion opinions.
  3. ANNUAL RENEWALS:
    • Though only valid for one year, this provision could be renewed annually, gradually reshaping national Medicaid policy without permanent structural change.

ENACTMENT 10/2/2025

When Section 71113 of HR 1, the BBB is enacted:

  • All federal Medicaid funds for all services (e.g., contraception, STI testing, wellness) provided by Planned Parenthood in Alaska would be cut off, even if:
    • Abortions are paid entirely with state dollars,
    • And even though the state itself defines them as “medically necessary”.
  • The financial outcome would not target abortion, but instead:
    • Strip federal funding from all of the lower value services that Planned Parenthood uses to establish a commercial relationship with abortion vulnerable women.

Payments to Planned Parenthood for anything other than abortions with State or money will have to STOP.

  • Planned Parenthood will immediately lose about $2.8 Million in State and Federal Medicaid income for non-abortion services.

Babies waiting to be born have positive, expressly recognized rights to life, to equal protection, and equal justice. 

Medina opened the way to disqualify Planned Parenthood from Alaska’s Medicaid program.

HR 1 STRIPPED $3.36 MILLION DOLLARS from Planned Parenthood of Alaska – and prohibited ANY Medicaid funds from paying for babies to be killed.

Dobbs removed the judicial obstacles that once prevented action and opened direct routes to protecting babies.  The Constitution compels our Governor and Legislature to protect innocent human life. 

We’re not waiting another 50 years for Alaska’s Courts to correct their deadly errors.  Our call to action is simple and direct:

Alaska’s Governor is authorized – compelled – by the Constitution and affirmed by Dobbs to protect babies from being killed by abortion.  While he has many options, the first, most direct action available for his administration is to refuse to pay for a single baby to be killed.

Yes, Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby will protest and sue.  Isn’t that what we want – a direct challenge to Alaska’s pro-abortion precedents, armed with HR 1 that STRIPPED $3.36 MILLION DOLLARS from Planned Parenthood of Alaska, the Dobbs, and Medina opinions that overruled Roe v Wade and kicked Planned Parenthood out of state Medicaid programs?

Yes, babies will be saved.  If taxpayer money is what makes an abortion possible, then taking that money away from Planned Parenthood will save hundreds of babies’ lives.

Whether the Governor acts or not, the Legislature is armed with the Constitution, HR 1, the Medina and Dobbs opinions and empowered to pass laws that protect innocent human life from conception to natural end of life.

This is how we start Fulfilling the PROMISE of Dobbs.

As “the people’s representatives,” Alaska’s Legislature is also authorized – compelled – by the Constitution and affirmed by Dobbs to make and pass budgets that prohibit funding and paying for babies to be killed. 

But we do not stop there.  The PROMISE of Dobbs is that every Alaskan baby deserves equal protection and equal justice.  Dobbs is clear: the right to abolish abortion “belongs to the people and their representatives.” 

With your support, this is how we Fulfill the PROMISE of Dobbs.

While Fulfilling the PROMISE of Dobbs relies on a political solution to the worsening problem of killing babies in Alaska, we are not limited to political solutions.

The problem of abortion is not limited to elections, laws, and courts.

Skrmetti Opinion

By

Sex-Rejecting Hormones For Dysphoria is Like Chemotherapy for ‘Identifying as Having Cancer’ 

Dr. Eithan Haim, Gender Dysphoria Whistleblower

This week, the Supreme Court handed down an opinion that should make every mom, dad, pastor, coach, and common-sense Alaskan praise God.

In United States v. Skrmetti, the Court said states like Tennessee have the authority to prohibit doctors from giving puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to kids. Why?

The Biden administration and the Left claimed the law was “discrimination” and sued Tennessee.

The US Supreme Court opinion makes it clear that Tennessee was regulating a dangerous medical practice, not targeting people.

 

What This Law Actually Does

Here’s what the Tennessee law says:

  • No puberty blockers or hormone injections for sex-rejecting transition in minors.
  • Still allows treatment for kids with medical conditions like early puberty or hormone disorders.

It’s not about who the kid is—it’s about what the drug is for.

 

What the Supreme Court Said

The Court said this law doesn’t treat boys and girls differently. It treats everyone the same—no experimental sex-rejecting drugs for minors, period.

And they said the government isn’t required to go along with every new social trend. States can make laws to protect children—even if that makes activists angry.

In other words: we still live in a country where common sense can win.

 

The Left’s Arguments Were Nonsense

The liberal justices (Sotomayor, Jackson, and Kagan) wrote a dissent that sounded like something out of a college sex-rejecting studies class:

  • They said the law is “cruel.” But what’s cruel is making a 13-year-old sterile for life.
  • They said it’s like banning someone from going to church. Huh? Since when is prescribing testosterone a religious right?
  • They said the law was based on “sex assigned at birth.” That’s not a legal term—that’s a buzzword from TikTok, not legal prose from one of America’s “legal experts.”

Dr. Eithan Haim, a whistle blower on sex-rejecting hormone experiments said that leftist claims that treating gender dysphoria in children with puberty blocking and cross-sex hormones is like ‘giving chemotherapy to patients who merely ‘identify’ as having cancer.

Justice Thomas, in particular, called out their nonsense with calm, clear truth. He reminded us: judges aren’t here to rewrite the Constitution based on feelings.

 

What This Means for Us

This case is a green light for other states.  Alaska can protect kids from sex-rejecting clinics with Supreme Court backing.

While the current legislature will kill any bill prohibiting sex-rejecting experiments on children, we can advance budget restrictions that prohibit Alaskans from being forced to pay for these dangerous and deadly child experiments.

The Skremetti ruling:

  • Supports parents
    Protects children
    Defends state rights
    Pushes back on sex-rejecting madness
    Keeps unelected judges in their lane

 

Alaska Right to Life is Staying in the Fight

This is a huge win—but the battle in Alaska hasn’t even started.

In 2024, the Republican led Alaska House voted to fund sex-rejecting hormone and surgical experiments on children.

Every Republican but three in the Senate voted the same way – to pay for sex-rejecting hormone and surgical experiments on children.

In 2025, the Democrat led majorities in both the House and Senate rejected attempts to block that funding (strangely offered by the same people that voted FOR the funding the year prior).

2026 must hold different outcomes: the Skrmetti case will either provide legal cover or remove excuses weak Republicans have used to allow children to be irreversibly experimented on.

Let’s protect children. Let’s defend families. And let’s keep using our voices while we still have them.

Family Council Gets it Wrong Then Right

Jim Minnery

Alaska Family Council/Action President

In a bizarre twisting of political endorsements and courtroom activism, Alaska Family Action and Alaska Family Council – both presumably run by the Jim Minnery – have come out against “transgender ideology” being pushed on children while at the same time, endorsing politicians who voted for fund the actual “transgender” experimentation.

In the world of buying political favor with endorsements, today’s announcement sends very mixed messages by Jim Minnery as he and his organization(s) have signed on to an amicus brief (legal opinion paper) to the Vitsaxaki v. Skaneateles Central School District case that’s being argued in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

In contrast, Mr. Minnery endorsed 14 Republican incumbents for re-election in 2024 after they all voted to pay for sex-rejecting hormone and surgical experimentation on children.

Following Mr. Minnery’s statements and endorsements, forcing “transgender ideology” on children in schools is bad, but forcing “transgender” hormones and surgeries on kids is just fine?

WATCH THE VOTE

We can only hope this is a signal of shifting political sentiments and strategies at Alaska Family Council/Action.

Will Jim’s stance on abortion change too?  I hope so – one day Mr. Minnery will stop endorsing pro-abortion legislation (SB 124 of 2018) and pro-abortion politicians (Giessel, Kopp, LeBon, Prax, and so many more).

Chemical Abortion Expansion

By

The radical abortion lobby is never happy – they never have enough children, mothers, or money in their clutches.

Never satisfied, they even added a few Republicans from the most conservative districts to their ranks:

Senator Cathy Giessel (R), Senate Majority Leader

Senator Giessel started her Senate Floor speech last year with “I am a regular donor at the pro-life pregnancy resource center…” and then lectured the Senate on a woman’s right to choose, to have access to “fundamental” and “life saving” “healthcare” that includes tax payer funded abortions.

Senator Giessel likened herself to Oscar Schindler in her SB 124 Abortion Procedures Act 

of 2018 Presentation – a bill that would have regulated HOW babies are killed without prohibiting babies FROM being killed.

Now Senator Giessel has authored Senate Bill 147 and House Bill 195, presented as pharmacy modernization bills that expand the authority to prescribe and dispense controlled substances to nearly every pharmacist and pharmacy in Alaska.

Abortion inducing drugs are controlled substances and can only be prescribed and dispensed in a clinical setting – unless SB 147 and HB 195 become law. 

I Want to Stop Abortion Pill Expansion

What’s at stake with SB 147 & HB 195?

The RU 486 Chemical Abortion Cocktail of Mifepristone/Misoprostol killed 307 babies in 2019.

Planned Parenthood killed 720 babies with Mifepristone/Misoprostol from just two abortion sites last year.

  • 413 more babies died horrific deaths last year than in 2019.
  • 42 more mothers suffered from life-threatening complications last year than in 2019.

What started as a nightmarish 720 babies killed by Chemical Abortions from just 2 Abortion Sites last year is about to become a tidal wave of abortions across Alaska.

Senate Bill 147 & House Bill 195 are companion bills marketed as pharmacy modernization bills that extend prescription authority that is currently limited to physicians.  The bills also expand pharmacies’ dispensing authority to certain controlled substances.

The RU-486 Mifepristone/Misoprostol Chemical Abortion Cocktail is a controlled substance that can only be prescribed and dispensed in clinical environments in Alaska.

If SB 147 / HB 195 become law, a pregnant mother any where in Alaska can complete a telehealth interview with a Planned Parenthood nurse (a 2024 lawsuit expanded chemical abortion prescriptions to APRNs) and have a prescription for Mifepristone/Misoprostol – a Chemical Abortion – sent to the nearest dispensing clinic or pharmacy.

That means a pregnant mother in Kwigillingok, King Salmon, Tok, and even Adak can perform a Do-It-Yourself / Self-Managed Chemical Abortion without leaving her city, town, or village.

Putting this in plain, black and white numbers:  Two Planned Parenthood Abortion Sites prescribed and dispensed 720 Chemical Abortions in Alaska in 2024:
Anchorage Planned Parenthood = 540 Chemical Abortions (estimated)
Fairbanks Planned Parenthood = 180 Chemical Abortions (estimated)

I'll Sign The Petition

Every DIY Chemical Abortion kills a baby.  But the carnage is not limited to the children that die slow, excruciating deaths.

1 in 10 mothers suffers serious to life-threatening complications.

  • 34 Emergency room visits or 4.73% of Alaskan women that have Chemical Abortions
  • 24 Hemorrhage or 3.31%
  • 20 Surgical abortions to complete botched Chemical Abortions  or 2.84%
  • 10 Infections or 1.34%
  • 5 Hospitalizations or 0.66%

41 Other abortion-related complications or 5.68%

The possibilities are chilling:

  • 13 Rural Hospitals
  • 30(+) Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC)
    • 50 Community Health Aide Program (CHAPS) Clinics
    • 100(+) Sub-Regional Clinics
    • 50(+) Corner pharmacies and in nearly every store across the state:
    • 18 Carrs/Safeway
    • 11 Fred Meyer
    • 9 Walmart
    • 4 Costco
    • 4 Three Bears
    • 4 Walgreens

If the 50 retail pharmacies listed above dispensed just one Chemical Abortion per month, the death nearly DOUBLES:

600 MORE babies could die horrible deaths.

  • 28 MORE Emergency room visits or 4.73%
  • 20 MORE Hemorrhage or 3.31%
  • 17 MORE Surgical abortions due to botched Chemical Abortions  or 2.84%
  • 8 MORE Infections or 1.34%
  • 5 MORE Hospitalization or 0.66%
  • 41 MORE abortion-related complications or 5.68%

There are also 193 hospitals, clinics and health centers that could prescribe and dispense Chemical Abortions across the state.

The number of babies killed by Chemical Abortions alone could reach into the thousands – and the number of women suffering serious and life-threatening adverse events could reach the hundreds!

Can it get worse?

YES.

Stop Abortion Expansion

If all of that is not bad enough, Senator Giessel has the votes to pass these bills – and we cannot count on the Governor to veto them when they do.

Pro – Abortion Democrats control the Senate with 6 Planned Parenthood abortion activists, 2 more pro-abortion democrats, at least 6 Republicans supporting the bills – and a binding caucus that commits majority members’ votes to bills they bring to the Senate Floor.

Planned Parenthood abortion activists control 17 seats in the House plus independents and shape shifting Republicans like Stutes – they already have enough to pass the bill without the three Republican votes (Ruffridge, Prax, and Schwanke) already on their side.

Without massive action, SB 147 & HB 195 will sail through the House and Senate next year.

Without massive action, SB 147 & HB 195 will sail through the House and Senate next year.

Here’s the plan:

  1. Overwhelming Opposition.  Senator Giessel and crew will either withdraw the bills or regret every vote on them in 2026.
    1. Stacks of petition boxes at the Capital steps and on every politicians’ desk.
    2. Thousands of electronic petitions to every politician in Juneau.
    3. Hundreds of thousands of emails flooding politicians’ inboxes.
    4. Thousands of phone calls, bringing the Legislature to a grinding halt.
  2. Statewide Campaign.  Alaska Right to Life members have already sent in hundreds of petitions – and more come in every day.
    1. Printing flyers.
    2. Recruiting petition collectors.
    3. Developing the normal tools  for a statewide campaign to defeat these bills.
  3. Local Action. To protect babies and their mothers from this deadly abortion expansion, we need to defeat these bills in their own districts– and hold their formerly pro-life representatives and senators accountable for advancing abortion expanding bills.
    1. Political Leadership Training, beginning in Kenai.
    2. Church / Pastor Education
    3. Town Hall engagement
    4. Literature Drops
    5. Petition Gathering at Local Events

Intro To Political Leadership

By

Introduction to Political Leadership

Planned Parenthood’s abortion activists control 23 of 60 total votes in Alaska’s Legislature.

Another 5 Democrats vote in lockstep with the abortion activists.

Worse, 9 Republicans have either joined Democrat controlled caucuses in both chambers, or they have committed to abortion expansion in Alaska.

That’s 37 of the 60 votes in the Legislature that are either committed to preserving and expanding abortion access – or they have joined binding caucuses with the abortion giant’s faithful.

In addition to those 37 votes, more than 15 court opinions ORDER you and I pay for every abortion invoice Planned Parenthood submits to the State, and it’s no wonder Abortion funding has become the untouchable status quo in Alaska.

At the same time, Republicans have “fulfilled” their pro-life duty by offering the same old, ineffective “pro-life protest” year after year in the State Budget for 25 years – even after Roe v Wade was overruled.

Chemical abortions have skyrocketed since 2020, killing 720 babies in 2024, becoming the #1 method of killing babies in Alaska.

In the same period, later term D&E abortions have nearly doubled from 133 in 2020, to 231 babies killed during their 2nd trimester of life in 2024.

Today, as I write this, babies and their mothers under attack by Senator Cathy Giessel’s abortion expansion bills SB 147 & HB 195 that would turn virtually every hospital, clinic, doctor’s office, and pharmacy into an abortion pill dispensary.

Unlike the Sexual Revolution of the 1960’s, today’s sexual revolution is targeting children in our government schools for sexual and Marxist revolutions as early as Kindergarten.

Those sexual revolutions are being stoked by Drag Queens grooming children into hyper and homo-sexual ideologies in libraries and parks across the state.

Killing babies before they’re born has been legal since 1970, protected by Alaska’s Courts since 1997, and enabled by legislators and governors even after Roe v Wade was overruled by Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health in June of 2022.

So what do we do? 

How can we regain control of our Legislature and Governor’s office, end taxpayer funded abortions and protect babies and their mothers from Senator Giessel’s abortion expansion bills?

How do we protect our children from sexual/Marxist indoctrination in our schools?

How do we regain control of our parks and libraries so that our children are safe from homosexual indecency and utterly perverse grooming disguised as children’s fiction?

Here’s the plan:

1.  Overwhelming Opposition.  Abortion Activists in the Legislature and their crew will either withdraw the bills or regret every vote on them in 2026.

  1. Stacks of petition boxes at the Capital steps and on every politicians’ desk.
  2. Thousands of electronic petitions to every politician in Juneau.
  3. Hundreds of thousands of emails flooding politicians’ inboxes.
  4. Thousands of phone calls, bringing the Legislature to a grinding halt.

2.  Statewide Campaign.  Alaska Right to Life members have already sent in hundreds of petitions – and more come in every day.

  2. Recruiting petition collectors.
  3. Developing the normal tools  for a statewide campaign to defeat these bills.

3.  Local Action. To protect babies and their mothers from this deadly abortion expansion, we need to defeat these bills in their own districts– and hold their formerly pro-life representatives and senators accountable for advancing abortion expanding bills.

Alaska Right to Life is partnering with the Foundation for Applied Conservative Leadership for the Political Leadership Training classes that we’re scheduling throughout the state.

  • The Foundation’s instructors have years of experience putting the principles that you’ll learn into practice across the country.
  • The Foundation’s instructors have worked on federal, state, and local campaigns including successful campaigns for the US President, Senate, and Congress.
  • They serve in the highest levels of President Trump’s Administration, and at all levels of state and local governments.
  • The Foundation’s instructors are leading the fight for economic, employment, health, and firearms freedoms across the country.
  • Finally, they are in some of the highest levels of leadership in some of the nation’s largest pro-life AND Abolitionist organizations.

If you live in Kenai, Anchorage, Wasilla, or North Pole – or know somebody who does, it’s time to learn from some of the most qualified and accomplished political operators so that we can start:

  • Stop funding abortion and sex rejection hormone experimentation on children.
  • Protecting babies and their mothers from dangerous abortion expansion bills like SB 147 & HB 195.
  • Protect children and families from homosexual grooming by Drag Queens in your libraries and parks.
  • Protect children from the sexual and Marxist revolutions that are raging in the government schools.
  • Force our elected representatives to provide the same legal protection and justice for children in the womb as for born children, from conception to natural end of life, and without exception.

You’ll also learn the REAL Nature of Politics

  • Why educating people alone won’t bring the political change you want.
  • Why phone calls and letters alone aren’t enough.
  • How to get a project across the finish line despite leadership’s opposition.
  • Why electing more Republicans isn’t the answer.

You’ll see how small groups of trained Alaskans are forcing politicians to act—even when leadership and lobbyists want to shut them down.

And you’ll become part of an exclusive network of Alaskans who are quietly, relentlessly, and successfully defending life and liberty—without quitting their jobs or compromising their values.
 

In a nutshell, you’ll learn why you’ve been losing and how to start winning.

Are you ready?

Then don’t wait.  Register TODAY and bring other grassroots leaders with you!

NOT ATTENDING?

Then nothing changes.

  • Chemical abortion pills—the kind that kill babies and send 1 in 10 women to the ER (or worse)—will be sold in every grocery store, clinic, and hospital with a pharmacy.
  • Kenai Republicans Jesse Bjorkman and Justin Ruffridge have already joined Anchorage Democrats to multiply abortion access from two Planned Parenthood abortion sites to more than 300 pharmacies across Alaska.
  • We will pay for more abortions in Alaska – even as the Federal Government defunds Planned Parenthood nationally.
  • More children will be experimented on with sex-rejection hormones and surgeries that Alaskans are forced to pay for.
  • K-12 “Comprehensive Sex-Ed” will sweep through Alaska’s schools, indoctrinating kids in hypersexual, homosexual, and ‘transgender‘ activism when Planned Parenthood’s SB 101 becomes law.
  • Drag Queen Story Hours will spread in our libraries and parks – because there’s nobody to stop them.

And the Alaska Republican Party will keep telling you to “vote harder” because their most powerful political weapon is Getting Out The Vote.

That path doesn’t lead to life, liberty, or truth.

It leads to silence, regret, and a future you don’t want to leave to your children.

But when you take this class, everything changes.

You’ll leave with confidence, clarity, and a real plan for protecting what you hold most dear…

You’ll know that electing the “right” politicians is less important than it is to make it unprofitable for politicians to vote wrong – even when leadership opposes you..

  1. You’ll be equipped.
  2. You’ll be part of an exclusive team that knows how to expose votes, defeat bad bills, and recruit principled challengers.
  3. And you’ll walk in the footsteps of patriots who believed that freedom is worth the fight.

“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy…”

—JOHN ADAMS

Adding to the threat, Planned Parenthood allied Democrats and Republicans are defeating efforts to protect children from abortion and sex-rejecting experimentation while advancing abortion, homosexual, and sex-rejecting experiments on children in our homes, churches, and schools.

Planned Parenthood’s mission has changed over the years. 

Formerly the abortion corporation, Planned Parenthood is now one of the nation’s leading purveyors of sex-rejecting hormone experimentation on children and adults suffering from gender dysphoria.

If the threats of abortion expansion and sex-rejecting experimentation on children weren’t reason enough to upgrade our approach to political leadership, we have several opportunities to go on the offensive:

Supreme Court Ruling: United States v. Skrmetti (2025)

US SCOTUS OPINION JUNE 18, 2025

The Supreme Court just upheld Tennessee’s law that restricts certain medical treatments for transgender minors. The law bans puberty blockers and hormone therapy for kids under 18 who have gender dysphoria.

The Court’s decision: Tennessee Children WIN

The Court said Tennessee’s law doesn’t violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Here’s their reasoning in plain English:

  • It’s about age and medical use, not discrimination – The law restricts treatments based on what they’re used for and the patient’s age, not because someone is transgender
  • States can make medical decisions for kids – When there’s medical uncertainty, states have the right to protect minors from potentially harmful treatments
    • The law is reasonable – Tennessee showed legitimate concerns about:
      • Long-term effects we don’t fully understand yet
      • Risk of kids regretting irreversible changes
      • Protecting children from experimental treatments

 

The Legal Reasoning

The Court applied what’s called “rational basis review” – basically asking “Is this law reasonable?” rather than applying stricter scrutiny.

Key points:

  • The law treats the medical condition (gender dysphoria), not the person’s identity
  • It’s similar to how we already restrict other medical treatments for minors
  • States have broad authority to regulate medicine, especially for children

 

Majority opinion (Chief Justice Roberts): “This law classifies based on medical use and age, not sex or transgender status.”

 

Supporting justices agreed:

  • States should have flexibility in areas of medical uncertainty
  • Courts shouldn’t override legislative decisions about protecting kids
  • The Constitution doesn’t guarantee access to specific medical treatments

 

Dissenters disagreed:

  • Argued the law unfairly targets transgender youth
  • Said it violates equal protection principles
  • Worried about protecting minority rights

 

This ruling gives states the green light to pass similar laws protecting minors from potentially risky medical interventions. It prioritizes parental rights and state authority over activist legal theories.

 

Alaska can now confidently pass similar protective measures for children.

Medina v Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, 603 U.S.

US SCOTUS Opinion JUNE 26, 2025

In a 5–4 decision authored by Justice Alito, the Supreme Court upheld the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ (SCDHHS) decision to terminate Planned Parenthood South Atlantic as a Medicaid provider. The exclusion stemmed from executive orders by Governor Henry McMaster and was implemented by the agency without a legislative enactment. The Court held that neither the Medicaid Act, nor the First or Fifth Amendments, nor the Bill of Attainder Clause prohibits a state Medicaid agency from disqualifying a provider for performing abortions, as long as the decision is based on lawful criteria and not punitive intent.

Key Holdings

  • Executive Discretion Permissible: The Court confirmed that state Medicaid agencies have broad authority to determine “qualified providers”, and federal law does not create a private right enforceable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for patients to challenge those decisions.

  • No Right Under the Medicaid Act: The Court held that the “any qualified provider” language in the Medicaid Act does not confer an enforceable individual right because it lacks the kind of “rights-creating language” required under Gonzaga Univ. v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273 (2002).

  • First Amendment Not Implicated: The exclusion was based on conduct (performing abortions), not speech or viewpoint. The Court reiterated that withholding funding does not violate the First Amendment unless it penalizes protected expression.

  • No Bill of Attainder: The decision was administrative, not legislative; and even if legislative, the exclusion of a provider from future funding does not constitute punishment under historical or doctrinal interpretations of the Bill of Attainder Clause.

  • No Equal Protection Violation: The Court applied rational basis review and upheld the policy on the ground that states may favor childbirth over abortion in the administration of public programs.

Meaning for Alaska

This decision is foundational for states that wish to restrict public funding to abortion providers:

  • Affirms Broad State Authority: States may lawfully disqualify abortion providers from Medicaid based on executive or administrative decisions, so long as they are not overtly punitive or discriminatory and follow federal participation standards.

  • Limits Private Enforcement: Patients and providers cannot sue under § 1983 to enforce the “free choice of provider” provision in the Medicaid Act unless Congress speaks with clear rights-creating language, which it did not here.

  • Strategic Blueprint: States looking to defund abortion providers now have a clear path: use executive directives or agency policy rather than statutes, which may attract greater constitutional scrutiny.

  • Reinforces Post-Dobbs Federalism: The ruling exemplifies the Court’s continued emphasis on state autonomy in abortion-related policy, consistent with its reasoning in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. ___ (2022).

  • Narrows Scope of Bill of Attainder Doctrine: By distinguishing between disqualification from benefits and punishment, the Court has further insulated administrative funding decisions from Attainder Clause challenges.

HR 1  The Big Beautiful Bill Act

Signed into Law July 4, 2025

Section 71113 prohibits federal Medicaid funds (defined as direct spending) from being used to reimburse a “prohibited entity” for one year if:

  1. The entity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit,
  2. Is an essential community provider engaged in family planning and abortions,
  3. Performs abortions outside of Hyde Amendment exceptions (rape, incest, or life of the mother), and
  4. Received over $800,000 in Medicaid funds in FY2023.

Since Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest received over $33M in Medicaid funds in 2023 – it’s a safe assumption they stand to lose ALL of their Medicaid funding for one year as a “prohibited entity” under Section 71113 of HR 1.

While this looks promising, a lot must happen federally and here in Alaska before the State stops paying for abortions.  Implications for Alaska include:

  1. TEMPORARY:
    • The 1-year restriction exerts significant financial and legal pressure on states to drop providers that perform abortions, even outside Medicaid.
  2. LAWSUITS:
    • Excluding providers based on Section 71113 will certainly provoke state “constitutional” challenges, especially in here in Alaska, where our courts have racked up nearly 50 pro-abortion opinions.
  3. ANNUAL RENEWALS:
    • Though only valid for one year, this provision could be renewed annually, gradually reshaping national Medicaid policy without permanent structural change.

ENACTMENT 10/2/2025

When Section 71113 of HR 1, the BBB is enacted:

  • All federal Medicaid funds for all services (e.g., contraception, STI testing, wellness) provided by Planned Parenthood in Alaska would be cut off, even if:
    • Abortions are paid entirely with state dollars,
    • And even though the state itself defines them as “medically necessary”.
  • The financial outcome would not target abortion, but instead:
    • Strip federal funding from all of the lower value services that Planned Parenthood uses to establish a commercial relationship with abortion vulnerable women.

Payments to Planned Parenthood for anything other than abortions with State or money will have to STOP.

  • Planned Parenthood will immediately lose about $2.8 Million in State and Federal Medicaid income for non-abortion services.

Abortion Funding

The Dirty Secret

Of The Blank Check

When 29 of 33 Republicans elected Democrats to Control the House and Senate Finance Committees, they cast the deciding votes to pay for 1,418 babies to be killed by abortion and countless children to be poisoned by cross-sex hormones and irreversibly damaged by gender destroying surgeries.

Those 29 Republican votes gave Planned Parenthood and the transgender industry control over the State’s Checkbook – the State’s Operating Budget.

Those 29 Republicans wrote Planned Parenthood a blank check for abortion, cross-sex hormone poisoning, and surgical mutilation of children.

Those 29 Republicans are responsible for the budget that paid Planned Parenthood and the transgender industry to kill thousands of babies and irreversibly damage countless young Alaskans.

Why would Republicans – anybody, for that matter – vote for such horrendous evil?  One word:

POWER.

FOOTNOTES

VOTING WITH & FOR DEMOCRATS

19 House Republicans joined a Majority Caucus with 4 Democrats (two of those members are registered Independents*, but in Alaska, Independent is code for Democrat**). 

Forming a bi-partisan veterans’ bridge naming coalition – or caucus – seems innocent enough.  How much trouble can such a group make if they’re just naming bridges?

But when forming a Majority Coalition or Caucus, serious issues like abortion are decided well before a bill is heard in its first committee.  Abortion funding is agreed upon well before the Finance Committee members have been appointed or elected.

The Bush Caucus – a historically liberal and pro-abortion caucus is made up of the four non-Republican Majority members: Edgmon, Baker, Foster, and Planned Parenthood endorsed McCormick.

Since the Majority Coalition/Caucus is dependent on the Bush Caucus (the Majority requires 21 members), those 4 Democrats wield tremendous power, explaining Planned Parenthood’s near total control of the House Finance Committee and the death of every pro-life bill – only one of which received a single hearing.

By Caucusing with 4 Pro-Abortion Democrats, Republicans traded every pro-life bill and de-funding action for political position, power, and prestige.

 

House Republicans that caucused with pro-abortion Democrats: Allard, Carpenter, Coulombe, Cronk, C. Johnson, D. Johnson, McCabe, McKay, Prax, Rauscher, Ruffridge, Saddler, Shaw, Stapp, Sumner, Tilton, Tomaszewski, Vance, Wright

Senate Republicans that caucused with pro-abortion Democrats:

 

*Independent Thomas Baker was a registered Republican at the time of his 2023 appointment to the Legislature.  He has since changed his party affiliation for reelection.

** Bryce Edgmon was a lifelong Democrat until 2019 when he changed party affiliation the night before a coalition of Democrats and Republicans elected him House Speaker, on condition of voting for an Independent.

Abortion Funding Votes

Legislators vote dozens or even hundreds of times in the passage of each budget.  Only those votes that advance an abortion funding budget are counted here.

funded abortions

Represents the number of abortions funded by the budgets the Representative voted for.  In cases where the Representative did not vote to advance an abortion funding budget, those budgets, votes, and related abortions are not included.

 

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

  • Who paid for those babies to be killed? The State of Alaska paid for those killings.
  • Who decided (voted) to pay for those babies’ murders? Nearly every Alaskan Legislator.
  • Who signed those abortion funding budgets into law? Governor Dunleavy.

 

ABORTION DE-FUNDING AMENDMENTS

Abortion funding has been baked into Alaska’s annual Operating Budget since 2002. 

Protecting babies from being killed by taxpayer funded abortions requires a $0.00 Abortion Services amendment, which has never been adopted.

Budget amendments must adhere to the following rules according to Leg Council v Knowles (2001):

  1. Not administer the program;
  2. Not enact law or amend existing law;
  3. Be the minimum necessary to explain the legislature’s intent regarding how the money appropriated is to be spent;
  4. Be germane, that is, appropriate, to an appropriations bill; and
  5. Not extend beyond the life of the appropriation.

An appropriate, effective, and legally enforceable amendment sets the spending and transferring of money for abortions to $0.00:

  1. Medicaid Services for or Relating to Abortion: $0.00
  2. No funds shall be expended from or transferred into the Medicaid Services For or Relating to Abortion appropriate.

REPUBLICANS FAILED ABORTION DE-FUNDING AMENDMENT

“No money appropriated in this appropriation may be expended for an abortion that is not a mandatory service required under AS 47.07.030(a). The money appropriated for the Department of Health may be expended only for mandatory services required under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, unless a U.S. Supreme Court decision provides new precedent, and for optional services offered by the state under the state plan for medical assistance that has been approved by the United States Department of Health and Human Services.”

Republicans have included this ineffective and unenforceable for nearly 20 years – yet we continue to pay for babies to be killed. The amendment fails to set any restriction on abortion funding – and it fails the Leg Council v Knowles test.

Additionally, Republicans held a majorities in the House and Senate  in 2023/2024, but they advanced and passed budgets that pay for Alaskan babies to be killed.

REPORTED ABORTIONS

Represents the number of babies killed during the Representative’s tenure in office.

The information is provided to help Alaskans recognize and understand the facts and ask the important question, since Roe v Wade has been overruled for more than two years, why has the abortion status-quo not been challenged by the Republican controlled House and Senate?

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

  • Who contracted with the abortionists to kill those babies? Neither the Governor nor any Legislator.
  • Who brought those babies to the abortionists to be killed? Again, neither the Governor, nor any Legislator.
  • Who killed those babies? Finally, neither the Governor, nor any Legislator killed those babies.

Abortionists kill babies, not Governors or Legislators.

However, the State of Alaska licenses physicians to kill babies by abortion while prosecuting men and women for killing babies outside of abortion businesses. 

The legal hypocrisy and state sanctioned killing of babies before they are born continues because our elected representatives refuse to take the necessary action to recognize babies’ rights to live, and babies’ right to equal protection under the law.

FUNDING DESTRUCTIVE GENDER SURGERIES

Votes funding cross-sex hormone and destructive gender surgeries for children are counted.

Amendment 80 would have protected Alaskan children from irreversible and destructive state funded hormone injections and gender destroying surgeries. 

Planned Parenthood endorsed Democrat CJ McCormick argued against the amendment.  36 House Members voted to kill the amendment and fund cross-sex hormone and destructive gender surgeries for children.

Planned Parenthood endorsed Democrat CJ McCormick is a member of the Bi-Partisan House Majority Caucus.

THE LIFE AT CONCEPTION ACT

The Life at Conception Act prohibits abortion from conception by guaranteeing the child’s Constitutional right to live, right to equal rights, and equal protection under the law as recognized in Article 1 of Alaska’s Constitution.

The Life at Conception Act has been introduced four times since 2017.

Sign the Petition to advance the Life at Conception Act HERE.

PROHIBITING ABORTION | RIGHT TO PRIVACY

HB 215 prohibits abortion by explicitly excluding abortion from the rights and activities protected under Alaska’s Constitutional Right to Privacy as recognized in Article 1, Section 22:

“The right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed.  The Legislature shall implement this section.”

Excluding abortion from the right to privacy provides a direct challenge to the 1997 Valley Hospital opinion in which Alaska’s Courts overstepped their bounds and exercised powers reserved exclusively for the Legislature and the People of Alaska.

ABORTION PROCEDURES / EXPANSION

HB 284 AFFIRMED abortionists’ authority to kill babies before they are born.  HB 284 would have regulated the age at which babies can legally be killed and the acceptable method(s) abortionists are to use to kill the unborn child. 

HB 284 recycled Pro-Abortion Senator Cathy Giessel’s infamous SB 124 and Representative Cathy Tilton’s HB 266, both titled The Abortion Procedures Act of 2018.

SB 124, HB 266, and HB 284 would have required early inductions of live babies; those surviving the forced pre-term birth would have either been left to die or if deemed developed enough by the abortionist, would have been given care.

Affirming the legal right to kill babies is not “pro-life.”

ABORTION LEGALIZATION | ULTRASOUNDS

HB 302: Introduced regulation that authorizes killing an unborn child if a fetal heartbeat is not detected.   

Legalizes abortion in the case of “medical necessity.”  Under current Alaska case law, 100% of abortions are “medically necessary.” 

HB 302 establishes into law the abortionist’s authority to kill the child for any reason at any point in the unborn child’s life. 

Affirming an abortionist’s authority to kill an unborn child is not “pro-life.”

ABORTION FUNDING ESTIMATES | 2024

Did the Representative’s vote implicitly or explicitly advance an abortion funding budget? 

The numbers represented in this report approximate the number of babies’ deaths that were funded by a specific Operating Budget.  Legislators are responsible for their votes that advance budgets that pay for babies to be killed.

The 534 abortions funded by HB 268 are estimated based on historical averages of the past 10 years’ abortions funded by the annual State Operating Budgets. 

HB 268, the State Operating Budget, went into effect 7/1/2024 and will pay for babies to be killed by abortion in the latter part of 2024 and the first six months of 2025. 

Alaska abortion reporting is released in February of every year, and reports on the number of babies killed January 1 to December 31 of every year.  The 2024 report will include funding from HB 39 and HB 268.

Approximately 209 additional babies will be carried to Washington or Oregon to be killed by late term abortions at Alaskans’ expense in 2024.  The State of Alaska has not released travel abortion numbers since 2018.  Travel abortions are not included in the abortion funding estimates. 

ABORTION FUNDING ESTIMATES | 2023

The numbers represented in this report approximate the number of babies’ deaths that were funded by a specific Operating Budget.  Legislators are responsible for their votes that advance budgets that pay for babies to be killed.

The 538 abortions funded by HB 39 are estimated based on historical averages of the past 10 years’ abortions funded by the annual State Operating Budgets. 

HB 39, the State Operating Budget, went into effect 7/1/2023 and paid for babies to be killed by abortion in the latter part of 2023 and the first six months of 2024. 

Alaska abortion reporting is released in February of every year, and reports on the number of babies killed January 1 to December 31 of every year.  The 2023 report included funding from HB 39 and HB 281.

Approximately 201 additional babies were carried to Washington or Oregon to be killed by late term abortions at Alaskans’ expense in 2023.  The State of Alaska has not released travel abortion numbers since 2018.  Travel abortions are not included in the abortion funding estimates. 

ABORTIONS REPORTED - 2023 & 2024

2023/2024 Reported Abortions

The 1,247 abortions in 2023 were reported by the Alaska Induced Termination of Pregnancy (ITOP) report for 2023.

Alaska’s abortion statistics run from January 1 to December 31 while the Operating Budget runs from July 1 to June 30. 

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

SJR2 / SJR 4 / SJR 13

Alaska’s Constitution, criminal, and administrative law recognize that “all persons have a natural right to life” and that children in the womb are due “equal protection under the law” under AS 11.41.150 and AS 11.81.900. 

Alaska Statute AS 11.81.900 recognizes the humanity and natural rights of unborn babies “at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.”

The Sponsor of SJR 2, SJR 4, and SJR 13 has presented the amendment as a way to regulate abortion during the Roe v Wade era.  Given that Roe was overruled prior to the introduction of SJR 13, there is no longer a compelling case for submitting to Roe as constitutional (it never was), and as case law to obey.

Additionally, SJR 2, SJR 4, and SJR 13 have been presented as means to either enact or restore legislation that establishes the rights of parents of underage minors to direct abortions of their unborn grandchildren.

Simply put, the SJRs were ill suited under Roe v Wade, and under the 2022 Dobbs v Jackson opinion, the US Supreme Court has already affirmed that there is no right to abortion in our Constitution(s), nor has there ever been one.

  • Alaska’s Constitution recognizes the “natural right to life,” and the right to “equal protection under the law.
  • Alaska’s laws recognize unborn babies as persons “at any stage of development.”
  • The Dobbs v Jackson opinion affirms that there has never been a right to abortion in either the US or Alaska Constitution.

Therefore, the SJRs and their sponsor add confusion and the excessive burden of a constitutional amendment in an era that already does not recognize a right to abortion.

Endorsements

What partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?

Likewise, what fellowship do pro-life advocates have with abortion activists?

As you can see from the top of the page, a pro-life or pro-family organization would have to pretend the past two years didn’t happen in order to endorse a single incumbent legislator.

If our elected representatives are going to fight for the rights of babies to live and children to be protected from dangerous and life-threatening ideologies, poisons, and surgeries, they must keep their affiliations and coalitions free from pro-abortion and radical homosexual and transgender activists.

The past two years have demonstrated what happens when “Pro-Life” Republicans join coalitions and caucuses controlled by Pro-Abortion activists.

28 Republicans voted to join Democrat / Planned Parenthood controlled Majority Coalitions/Caucuses.

28 Republicans voted to give Planned Parenthood control of the State’s Checkbook, giving them a blank check for all the abortions and gender destroying procedures they could force you and I to pay for.

28 Republicans voted to advance and pass an abortion funding budget.

8 Republicans voted to explicitly fund abortions in the budget.

18 House Republicans voted to explicitly fund cross-sex hormone poisoning and genital mutilation of children.

28 Republicans formed coalitions with Planned Parenthood endorsed Democrats that blocked every pro-life action, effort, and bill while advancing Planned Parenthood’s pro-abortion initiatives like HB 17, vetoed by Governor Dunleavy.

As in any battle against tyranny, murder, and evil, we cannot afford have those representing us and the children we’re fighting to protect join coalitions and caucuses influenced and controlled by those advocating for killing, poisoning, and mutilating children.

As the Apostle Paul put it, “what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?”2Cor6:13

Our elected representatives must not be ‘unequally yoked’ with those who oppose our efforts to protect and promote the image of God in children.

It is impossible for a pro-life or pro-family organization to endorse one of the 28 incumbent Republicans find listed above without sacrificing everything they stand for.

Alaska Right to Life’s commitment to protecting children over electing Republicans may put us at odds with some, but we ultimately are seeking the approval of just ONE.

Why do the nations rage
And the peoples meditate on a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against Yahweh and against His Anointed, saying,
“Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”

He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord mocks them.
Then He speaks to them in His anger
And terrifies them in His fury, saying,
“But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

“I will surely tell of the decree of Yahweh:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth as Your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron,
You shall shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’”

So now, O kings, show insight;
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
Serve Yahweh with fear
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Psalm 2, LSB
