Introduced on January 9, 2025 by Michelle Fischbach
This bill would pause federal funding to Planned Parenthood for one year after it becomes law unless the organization certifies that its clinics will not perform abortions or fund other groups that do. The pause would not apply in cases of rape, incest, or when a doctor says the pregnancy puts the woman’s life at risk. If the rule is broken, the government must get the money back from the organization.
During that same year, $235 million would go to community health centers to support women’s health care. Those funds also could not be used for abortions, except for the same limited cases. The bill says money not going to Planned Parenthood would still be available to other eligible providers, and it should not reduce overall federal support for women’s health services.
