A BILL To prohibit Federal funding of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act," aims to prohibit all federal funding for Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, subsidiaries, and clinics. The bill includes findings that emphasize alternative healthcare providers, such as state and county health departments, community health centers, hospitals, and physicians' offices, can continue to provide comprehensive women's health services, including well-child care, prenatal and postpartum care, immunizations, family planning services, sexually transmitted disease testing, and cancer screenings. The bill explicitly states that the funds previously allocated to Planned Parenthood will be redirected to other eligible healthcare entities to ensure continued support for women's healthcare services. The legislation is careful to note that it does not intend to reduce overall federal funding for women's health and does not alter existing restrictions on abortion funding. By blocking federal funds to Planned Parenthood, the bill seeks to redirect healthcare resources to other medical providers while maintaining the same level of healthcare access for women.
