WOMEN'S HEALTH WEEK: Kelly Ayotte Has Voted Six Times to Defund Planned Parenthood
Today, the New Hampshire Democratic Party continued its Women’s Health Week efforts to hold Kelly Ayotte accountable for her record of voting to make it more difficult and expensive for women to access the healthcare they need. Today’s reason why Kelly Ayotte is wrong on women’s health: her repeated votes to defund Planned Parenthood.
Kelly Ayotte has voted SIX TIMES to defund Planned Parenthood, a vital healthcare provider that serves 12,000 patients across the Granite State each year. The federal funds that they receive cover family planning counseling, cancer and STI screenings, and other life-saving preventative care measures.
Men, women, and families depend on this federal funding to access the healthcare they need, and other community health centers have indicated that they do not have the capacity to take on Planned Parenthood’s patients, concerns Ayotte’s spokesperson seemingly dismissed<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=8abe1cb5b4&e=aac58c81e5>.
And it’s not just Planned Parenthood. Kelly Ayotte has voted to eliminate all funding for the Title X Family Planning Program, which helps fund 4,200 Family Planning Centers that serve 4.5 million individuals across the country and provides access to breast and cervical cancer screenings and other preventive health care to many low-income women
Not only are these votes bad for women in our state, but they’re also out of touch with the electorate. A poll last year found that nearly 7 in 10 New Hampshire voters opposed plans to eliminate funding to Planned Parenthood.
“Her repeated votes to defund Planned Parenthood are just another example of Kelly Ayotte putting her party leaders and special interest backers ahead of the health of the women of the Granite State,” said New Hampshire Democratic Party Press Secretary Melissa Miller. “New Hampshire women deserve better than a Senator who plays politics with their health and wellbeing and will remember Ayotte’s record in November.”
