Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act
The Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act prohibits federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, clinics, subsidiaries, or successors. It redirects these funds to other eligible health care providers - including community health centers, hospitals, and clinics that serve underserved populations - to ensure continued access to services like contraception, cancer screenings, prenatal care, and STI testing. The bill explicitly states it does not alter existing abortion funding restrictions or reduce overall federal support for women’s health services. This policy change aims to maintain funding availability for essential women’s health care while shifting resources away from Planned Parenthood.
