Earlier today, the House passed HR 3495, the Women’s Public Health
and Safety Act. And, as you can probably guess, it is not about women's
health, nor about their safety.
Well, what does it do then?
The bill grants states the flexibility to withhold Medicaid funding from health providers that offer abortions. Just the latest in their war on Planned Parenthood and on women's health, safety, and economic security.
The bill passed 236 to 193.
Two Democrats joined the GOP in voting for it: Dan Lipinski (IL-03) and Collin Peterson (MN-07).
Note that, when the DCCC sends out a fundraising email connected to this vote, some of that money will likely go to Collin Peterson.
9 Republicans joined Democrats in voting against it:
Carlos Curbelo (FL-26)
Charlie Dent (PA-15)
Dan Donovan (NY-11)
Bob Dold (IL-10)
Chris Gibson (NY-19)
Richard Hanna (NY-22)
David Jolly (FL-13)
John Katko (NY-24)
Elise Stefanik (NY-21)
