“We are dealing with a contrast here that will either advance women’s health or put it in a sort of retrograde,” Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) said.

Research into women’s health also receives far less funding than that focused on health conditions that mostly affect men. One 2021 study found that in almost three-quarters of cases, diseases that mainly affect women are underfunded for the amount of people they impact and illnesses that primarily affect men are overfunded.
