I strongly oppose efforts to strip Planned Parenthood of its federal funding. While many focus on abortion services, Planned Parenthood provides critical preventative care like cancer screenings and STD testing that would be cost-prohibitive for many low-income patients if eliminated. Cutting off Medicaid reimbursements would devastate access to affordable reproductive healthcare across the country, disproportionately impacting underserved communities. Preventative services reduce long-term costs while safeguarding women's health - a policy attacking Planned Parenthood ultimately risks lives over ideology at the expense of fiscal responsibility. I urge you to protect this vital community resource providing comprehensive care that millions rely upon.
