Judge blocks Trump administration from cutting Planned Parenthood funding
UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – A federal judge blocked Medicaid cuts to some Planned Parenthood affiliates that do not provide abortions or receive less than $800,000 in funding while litigation continues.
- On July 7, Planned Parenthood groups initiated a lawsuit and secured a temporary restraining order that prevents the Trump administration from implementing a nationwide funding restriction.
- The lawsuit challenges a provision in President Trump's policy law signed July 4 that denies Medicaid funds for one year to providers offering abortion services and receiving over $800,000 in 2023.
- Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, found Planned Parenthood likely to succeed on a First Amendment claim, as the law restricts associational rights by barring funds based on affiliation, not just abortion provision.
- Planned Parenthood warned nearly 200 clinics could close, with statements emphasizing a potential public health crisis and noting that some members did not receive full relief today despite court recognition of harm.
- The injunction preserves funding temporarily while the case proceeds, highlighting ongoing legal battles over reproductive rights and federal funding restrictions targeting Planned Parenthood.
