US EditionHouse Republicans vote to defund hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics
- House Republicans passed a budget reconciliation bill in 2025 that could defund hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics across the United States.
- The bill aims to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and cut $1.5 trillion from key programs like Medicaid, which could block Medicaid patients from accessing care at clinics providing abortion services.
- Planned Parenthood and family planning clinics serve tens of thousands of Medicaid patients, providing a wide range of reproductive and general health services, including prenatal care, cancer screenings, and contraception.
- Dr. Libby Wetter and health officials warned that the bill would harm Medicaid coverage for over 300,000 Pennsylvanians and jeopardize health infrastructure, with Planned Parenthood alone facing closure of more than 200 clinics nationally.
- If enacted, the bill could force many to lose Medicaid coverage and access to critical health services, increasing reliance on emergency care and threatening reproductive health access for low-income populations.
