Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel sparked controversy Sunday by defending Planned Parenthood, describing how it kills babies in abortions as “life-saving work” while criticizing Republican efforts to defund the radically pro-abortion organization.

The comments, made on his BlueSky account, come as Congress debates the “Big Beautiful Budget Bill,” which includes provisions to strip federal funding from the nation’s largest abortion company.

Kimmel, host of Disney-owned ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” urged his followers to oppose the pro-life budget cuts, writing, “Donald Trump’s BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL wants to defund Planned Parenthood and leave more than a million patients without access to care. Call your Senators to let them know you support the life-saving work they do. #IFightForPP.”

The post echoed Democrat talking points, framing Planned Parenthood killing babies in abortions as essential healthcare. Calling the termination of unborn children ‘life-saving’ is a grotesque misrepresentation. Planned Parenthood’s business model relies heavily on abortion, not healthcare. It performs less than 1% of the nation’s Pap tests and no mammograms, yet it’s responsible for over a third of U.S. abortions.

Pro-life advocates on X swiftly condemned Kimmel’s remarks, arguing that abortion ends lives rather than saves them.

Its own recent annual report found Planned Parenthood’s non-abortion services, like cancer screenings, have declined significantly while its abortion numbers increase.

The debate over Planned Parenthood’s funding has intensified since the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which returned abortion regulation to the states. The proposed budget bill, backed by President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans, aims to redirect federal funds to community health centers that do not perform abortions. Pro-life leaders argue these centers provide more comprehensive care, including mammograms and prenatal services, which Planned Parenthood does not offer.

Kimmel’s history of advocating for abortion is well-documented.

Earlier this month, he joined pop star Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights” campaign, which promotes killing babies in abortion as a “fundamental right” and labels it healthcare. In 2022, Kimmel used his show to criticize the Senate for rejecting pro-abortion legislation and later slammed the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade. His latest comments have drawn ire from pro-life groups, who accuse him of ignoring the ethical concerns surrounding Planned Parenthood’s practices.

On X, users expressed outrage over Kimmel’s remarks, with one calling him “an idiot” for equating abortion with life-saving care and another labeling his stance “stupid” for disregarding the pro-life perspective.
