Ernst Will Introduce Bill to Prevent Planned Parenthood From Profiting Off Biden’s Title X Decision Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing legislation aimed at defunding Planned Parenthood. The Protect Funding for Women’s Health Care Act would prohibit taxpayer dollars from going to Planned Parenthood and instead direct those funds to other eligible women’s health care providers. Ernst’s bill comes after the Biden administration began taking steps to undo former President Donald Trump’s Protect Life Rule, which prohibited Title X Family Planning Program funds from going to organizations that perform or promote abortions. Sen. Joni Ernst will introduce legislation Thursday aimed at defunding Planned Parenthood, the Iowa Republican’s office told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
