This legislation poses a serious threat to women's access to essential healthcare services by prohibiting federal funding for Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is a leading provider of crucial services like cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, contraception, and prenatal care for millions of women across the country, many of whom have limited access to affordable healthcare. Defunding Planned Parenthood would leave many underserved communities without a primary source of preventive care, exacerbating existing health disparities. This decision should be based on facts, not ideological biases against reproductive rights. I urge you to reject this misguided bill and protect funding for Planned Parenthood's comprehensive women's health services. Women's health and wellbeing should be the top priority.
