It’s the worst bill for women’s health in a generation — but it’s not too late to fight back.

Paul Ryan and his out-of-touch allies forced through their bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and “defund” Planned Parenthood — blocking patients in need from essential care at its health centers. Now that this dangerous legislation passed the House, it will move on to the Senate. This may be our last chance to stop it.

Here’s What it Means

Simply put: The so-called American Health Care Act (AHCA) is bad for women and would be disastrous for our nation as a whole. This bill would block people enrolled in Medicaid from accessing the services they rely on at Planned Parenthood health centers. If anti-abortion politicians have their way, they’ll not only “defund” Planned Parenthood but also shut down all of its health centers — leaving 2.5 million patients without a place to go for needed care.

The AHCA would also impose draconian restrictions on private insurance coverage for abortion; wrest Medicaid coverage from low-income women and their families; and impose greater costs on women’s basic reproductive health care, like maternity care and birth control. Congress should not be playing politics with women’s health.
