Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) fought to protect women’s access to healthcare in a House Judiciary Committee hearing, during yet another Republican attempt to defund Planned Parenthood – one of the nation’s largest preventative healthcare providers. Congresswoman DelBene’s remarks can be found here. Each year, Planned Parenthood health centers provide essential healthcare, such as cancer screenings and immunizations, to 2.7 million patients. It is estimated that one in five women in the United States has visited a Planned Parenthood health center in her lifetime. ### |
