Defunding Planned Parenthood and Repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) January 6, 2016 House Roll Call 6 Our Position: Oppose Passed: 240-181; 13 Not Voting Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) sponsored this budget reconciliation measure to prohibit funding to Planned Parenthood and dismantle the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). The measure passed both the House and the Senate, but was vetoed by President Obama.

Vote to Override the President’s Veto February 2, 2016 House Roll Call 53 Our Position: Oppose Failed: 241-186; 7 Not Voting (two-thirds majority required for passage) After President Obama vetoed the original bill to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn the ACA, the House attempted to override the veto. It failed despite the majority voting in favor of the override, as overturning a presidential veto requires a two-thirds majority.

The Palmer Amendment July 7, 2016 House Roll Call 390; Amendment No. 41 Our Position: Oppose Passed: 223-192; 18 Not Voting In December of 2014, the District of Columbia City Council unanimously approved the Reproductive Health Nondiscrimination Act (RHNDA), which prohibited employers from penalizing employees for their reproductive decision-making. During debate on an appropriations bill, Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) offered this amendment to prohibit the District of Columbia from using any federal funds for the implementation of RHNDA.

Motion to Table the Murray Amendment December 3, 2015 Senate Roll Call 311; Amendment No. 2876 Our Position: Oppose Passed: 54-46 During debate on a budget reconciliation bill, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) offered an amendment to establish a dedicated fund for women’s healthcare and to ensure the safety and security of reproductive health clinics. Rather than voting on the amendment itself, the Senate voted on a motion to table the amendment without consideration.

Protecting Funding for Planned Parenthood December 3, 2015 Senate Roll Call 314; Amendment No. 2885 Our Position: Support Failed: 48-52 During the same budget debate, Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) offered an amendment to remove a prohibition on funding for Planned Parenthood from the underlying bill.

Planned Parenthood and Zika Funding June 28, 2016 Senate Roll Call 112 Our Position: Oppose Failed: 52-48 (60 votes required for passage) In response to the Zika virus outbreak, the House passed H.R. 2577. The bill provided far less funding to fight the epidemic than President Obama requested. Additionally, although contraception is one of the main ways of controlling the spread of the disease, the bill blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving this funding. √ These members have made public statements opposing our goals, but voted against this bill for reasons unrelated to its family planning provisions.

Population Connection Action Fund works to stabilize global population by: • Fighting to ensure that every woman in the world has access to affordable, effective, and appropriate contraceptives; • Educating American citizens and public officials about the impacts of population growth and the benefits of real investment in reproductive health and family planning; • Mobilizing our grassroots base to advocate for effective policies; and • Electing candidates who support the right of all women to control their own lives and defeating those who oppose it.

Population Connection Action Fund is the political arm of Population Connection, the nation’s largest and oldest grassroots population organization. Our grassroots advocates are deeply invested in supporting family planning programs both domestically and globally— our goal is to turn that passion into real political progress. JOIN US!
