Lummis Votes to Defund Planned Parenthood

Press Release

The Born Alive bill strengthens the Born Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 by imposing criminal penalties for providers who violate it. The bill defunding Planned Parenthood diverts the money from this organization to transparent and qualified centers to promote women's health. Planned Parenthood is under heavy scrutiny since videos came to light recording conversations with employees discussing selling aborted baby parts.

"Planned Parenthood should not receive one dime from taxpayers," said Rep. Lummis. "We need a full investigation to determine exactly what Planned Parenthood has done and ensure that taxpayers aren't forced to pay for abortion. There are healthcare providers far more qualified, trustworthy, and transparent than Planned Parenthood all across this country. There is no reason or need to trust any money to Planned Parenthood."
