Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act

The Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act, introduced in the House in January 2025, would ban federal funding to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

If enacted, this legislation would eliminate federal dollars that currently support Planned Parenthood's operations. This would affect funding mechanisms such as Medicaid reimbursements and federal grants that support reproductive health services, family planning, and other health care services provided through Planned Parenthood clinics. The practical impact would depend on how broadly the funding restrictions are applied and what alternative funding sources, if any, would be available for the health services currently provided by these organizations.

The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process. Its passage would require approval by both the House and Senate, as well as the President's signature to become law.
