US EditionHouse moves to strip Planned Parenthood funding as part of Trump megabill
- The House released a 2024 budget reconciliation bill provision aiming to block Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood and abortion providers nationwide.
- Republicans pushed this measure as part of long-standing efforts and Trump-era funding restrictions despite centrist opposition and procedural challenges ahead.
- In 2023, Planned Parenthood received more than $699 million in funding that supports various medical services, such as screenings for sexually transmitted infections and cancer, which may be impacted by this policy change.
- Speaker Mike Johnson called the bill commonsense to stop taxpayer support, and Planned Parenthood promised to "fight like hell" against the defunding language.
- If enacted, the bill may shift women’s healthcare funding toward community health centers and mark a significant political battle over abortion-related federal financing.
