Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act

United States119th CongressHR-599House of Representatives
Updated: Jan 22, 2025

Summary

This bill aims to prohibit all federal funding from being made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, including its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, and clinics. The legislation asserts that a wide array of other healthcare providers, such as state and county health departments, community health centers, and hospitals, currently offer comprehensive women's health services. These services include diagnostic laboratory and radiology, well-child care, prenatal and postpartum care, immunization, family planning, sexually transmitted disease testing, and cervical and breast cancer screenings. A key provision ensures that the prohibition on funding for Planned Parenthood will not reduce the overall federal funding available for women's health, as these funds will be redirected to other eligible entities. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that it does not affect any existing limitations on appropriations related to abortion.
