Abortion Returns to Southwest Missouri After More than Two Decades without Local Access
Planned Parenthood can again bill Medicaid for nonabortion care in states that allow it, after a one-year ban forced nearly 30 center closures.
- The federal ban on Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood expired after Congress failed to renew it before the Independence Day recess, restoring eligibility for routine care coverage in states that permit such payments.
- Last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act banned Medicaid reimbursements to reproductive health care providers nationwide for one year, forcing Planned Parenthood to close nearly 30 health centers since July 2025.
- Following a June court decision striking down regulations, the Planned Parenthood clinic in Springfield, Missouri, began offering medication abortion appointments yesterday, ending a more than 20-year wait for a local provider.
- Despite the federal expiration, states including Missouri, Texas, and Alabama maintain their own bans on Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood, limiting practical relief for low-income patients in those regions.
- Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, stated defunding clinics remains "a default expectation" and urged Republicans to include the ban in the 2027 tax and spending bill.
