## Summary

**Bars federal funds to Planned Parenthood and its affiliates.** The Protect Funding for Women's Health Care Act would prohibit disbursing federal funds to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, or clinics. It says this restriction would not change abortion-related limits in appropriations laws and would not reduce the overall federal funding available for women's health. The bill states that other providers like state and local health departments, community health centers, hospitals, and physicians' offices would continue to provide services and that funds no longer paid to Planned Parenthood would be made available to other eligible entities to provide women's health care.
