Congresswoman Stefanik Attempts to Paper Over Troubling Record on Women’s Health

Congresswoman Stefanik is scrambling to cover her tracks and hide her troubling record on women’s health.

Elise Stefanik recently signed onto a celebratory resolution to commemorate a moment in history related to women. This is a nice gesture, but will not make North Country voters forget the fact that she has voted to defund Planned Parenthood not once, but twice. She even bragged about it.

According to a 2013 annual report, Planned Parenthood of the North Country New York received over 11,000 patients, and conducted over 6,200 breast exams and 14,000 tests for Sexually Transmitted Diseases, in the previous year.

“Congresswoman Stefanik is desperate to paper over her troubling record on women’s health, in hopes that thousands of North Country women and families will forget her repeated votes to rip away a resource that they count on for life-saving health services,” said Meredith Kelly at the DCCC. “Stefanik’s votes to defund Planned Parenthood would limit access to affordable and quality health care  for Upstate New Yorkers, and voters will easily see through her deceptive stances.”
