US EditionJudge blocks Trump administration from cutting Planned Parenthood funding
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – The injunction protects Planned Parenthood clinics that do not provide abortions or have limited Medicaid revenue, preserving funding for essential non-abortion health services, the judge ruled.
- On July 7, multiple Planned Parenthood affiliates initiated legal action in federal court to contest a measure that cuts funding for their healthcare services nationwide.
- The lawsuit was filed after the Trump administration enacted a bill on July 4 that instituted a one-year Medicaid funding ban for providers associated with abortion services, a duration that was shortened from an initial ten-year restriction following a ruling by Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough.
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the provision for some members, citing that Planned Parenthood showed a substantial likelihood of success on its First Amendment claim.
- Talwani noted that there is no evidence supporting the claim that Planned Parenthood affiliates transfer funds to be used for abortion services, highlighting that the funding restrictions infringe on the associational rights of the healthcare providers involved.
- Planned Parenthood stated, "This isn't over," expressing gratitude for partial relief but disappointment that not all members gained protection, signaling ongoing legal challenges and potential public health risks.
