There are many more options for women's health care than the discredited abortion provider, Planned Parenthood. While Planned Parenthood is only approximately 665 clinics, federally qualified health centers, FQHCs, and rural health centers, RHCs, provide over 13,000 publicly supported locations, providing alternatives for women's health care. This means there are 20 federally funded comprehensive care clinics for every one Planned Parenthood. This bill does not change the availability of funds for women's health. It simply establishes a safeguard so that the Nation's largest abortion chain is not the one providing such services. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk).
