The GOP Obamacare replacement defunds Planned Parenthood and restricts abortion coverage

Another concerning factor: “that maternity care will no longer be required to be covered by health care plans under “Trumpcare”, according to The Los Angeles Times”. What is clear is that he continues to make false claims when he talks about Planned Parenthood.

Frelinghuysen recently maintained that he supports a woman’s right to choose, and Planned Parenthood. With the repeal of Obamacare in the works, low-income Americans, minority communities, LGBT people, and young women will be more reliant than ever on organizations like Planned Parenthood. The session was created to treat the members to two lanes of bowling – no waiting – and to pressure them to hunt more aggressively for votes to win passage.

Good for Planned Parenthood for refusing to back down to the president. In a 2015 report, the Guttmacher Institute-a research and policy organization focused on reproductive health-reported that unintended pregnancies cost American taxpayers $21 billion each year. It’s their decision to do abortions. “If they close it down, I don’t know what I’ll have”, said Magie Read, a Battle Ground resident. The deal was, if Planned Parenthood would stop performing abortion services, the nonprofit could maintain its federal funding. As if that weren’t destructive enough, it also contains language that would “defund” Planned Parenthood health centers. We have three health centers there. Two of the clinics – in Madison and Milwaukee – also provide abortions, for which Medicaid funding can’t be used.

“Defunding’ Planned Parenthood would block millions of people in this country from accessing birth control, cancer screenings, and preventive care”.

The vast majority – 76 percent – of Planned Parenthood services are related contraception and sexually transmitted diseases and infections. About 60 percent of Planned Parenthood’s 2.5 million patients nationwide are on Medicaid. “It is not their choice how we grow our families”, Fleming said. “They’re not about health care, they’re about abortion”. Once this is in effect, between 6 million and 10 million people who are now enrolled in Medicaid could lose health insurance coverage, according to Vox.

Democrats in Maryland announced plans Wednesday to introduce a new bill forcing the state to continue funding the Planned Parenthood abortion business. No other health provider in Alaska offers this service. For many of these patients, there is nowhere else to go for care.

“If they’re not taken properly then the effectiveness of those oral contraceptions go down”, she explains.
