Kuster has proudly supported pro-choice policies and Planned Parenthood since she first took office, and today she voted against the proposed measure that would suspend federal funding to the organization for one year: Planned Parenthood serves as a vital resource to women who are seeking reproductive and other health services in the Granite State and across the country, said Congresswoman Kuster. I am disappointed by this most recent attack on womens health by extremist, ideological lawmakers in Congress during todays votes to freeze the organizations federal funding. The federal funding that Planned Parenthood receives does not pay for abortions, and I am astonished that my Republican colleagues have decided to halt funding, which in reality supports a myriad of crucial services that women across the country rely on from Planned Parenthood, from cancer screenings and flu vaccinations to birth control prescriptions and general health care services. Despite the outcome of todays vote, I will continue to fight for womens health services at the federal level, and I urge my colleagues not to let such extremist, partisan games interfere with ensuring women across the country can access the health services they need and deserve. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
