Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2025

Increased Funding for Community Health Centers: The bill authorizes $235,000,000 in additional appropriations for the community health center program under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (Section 4(a)). This could benefit people by providing more resources to these centers.

Continued Access to Women's Health Services: The bill states that funds no longer available to Planned Parenthood will continue to be made available to other eligible entities to provide women's health care services (Section 2(3)). This includes services such as diagnostic laboratory and radiology services, well-child care, prenatal and postpartum care, immunization, family planning services, and cancer screenings (Section 2(1)).

Support for Underserved Populations: The Act notes that many entities providing these services serve all persons regardless of ability to pay and operate in medically underserved areas and populations (Section 2(2)).

Restrictions on Funding for Planned Parenthood: For a one-year period, no Federal funds may be made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., its affiliates, or its clinics unless they certify they will not perform or fund abortions (Section 3(a)). This could impact those who currently rely on these specific entities for services.

Limited Scope of Funding Use: The additional $235,000,000 authorized for the community health center program cannot be used for abortions, except in specific cases involving rape, incest, or a physical condition that puts a woman in danger of death (Section 4(b) and Section 3(b)).
