I support the Women’s Health Protection Act, which codifies Roe, and will continue to oppose efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
Support the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify Roe and continue opposing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
Occurrences
Although the bill has not made it through the Senate, she said she will continue to support efforts to codify reproductive rights. “I am firmly pro-choice,” she said. “I recognize that’s not all of us in our community and I respect that. But I will vote to protect a woman’s right to control her own reproductive freedom.”
Rep. Houlahan, Chrissy [D-PA-6]*
Reinstate Roe V Wade. Fund family planning, cancer screening, preventive care programs.
Evidence
The Congress.gov cosponsors list for H.R.3755 includes "Rep. Houlahan, Chrissy [D-PA-6]*" with a cosponsorship date of 06/08/2021.
Houlahan said she voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act, said she would continue to support efforts to codify reproductive rights, and stated, "I am firmly pro-choice."
The review states: "Chrissy voted to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would legally guarantee a woman’s right to choose."
The House press release says the Support UNFPA Funding Act provides access to sexual and reproductive health services, and it quotes Planned Parenthood Federation of America endorsing Houlahan's legislation.
Assessments
Houlahan clearly supported the Women’s Health Protection Act during her term: she cosponsored H.R. 3755 in June 2021 and her office says she voted to pass it and continued backing codification of reproductive rights after Dobbs. That satisfies a substantial part of the promise because the claim was framed around support rather than sole responsibility for enactment. However, the evidence provided does not directly show a specific vote, bill, or other documented action by Houlahan opposing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, so the full combined promise is not fully established on this record.
Houlahan clearly supported the Women’s Health Protection Act during the same congressional term by cosponsoring H.R.3755 and voting for the bill, which satisfies the WHPA-support portion of the promise. The evidence also shows continued alignment with reproductive-health and Planned Parenthood-backed policy, but it does not directly document specific votes or actions opposing efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. Because one major component is documented and the other is not directly proven, the promise is best rated partial rather than fully delivered.
