Conservatives notch 2 victories in their fight to deny Planned Parenthood federal funding through Medicaid
UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – The Supreme Court ruling and congressional budget cut will pause $500 million in Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood nationwide for one year, threatening nearly 200 clinic closures, officials said.
- Conservatives secured two major victories on June 26, 2025, via a Supreme Court ruling and a federal Medicaid funding provision affecting Planned Parenthood nationwide.
- The Supreme Court ruling in Medina v. Planned Parenthood allowed states like South Carolina to exclude clinics that provide abortions from Medicaid, following a long campaign to defund abortion providers.
- Congress passed a budget reconciliation bill including a one-year halt on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, a first in history expected to cut over $500 million from the organization.
- Planned Parenthood’s 2023-2024 report showed record abortion numbers, and 200 health centers risk closure if funding stops, with 90% of closures projected in states where abortion remains legal.
- These actions threaten Medicaid patients' health access, especially in states that rely on Planned Parenthood, while pro-life groups praise the victories and plan further efforts to defund the organization permanently.
