Planned Parenthood sues Trump administration over planned defunding

UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – Nearly 200 Planned Parenthood centers risk closure, threatening access to reproductive health care for over 1.1 million patients, due to Medicaid funding cuts in the new tax and spending bill.

  • Planned Parenthood revealed its intention to take legal action against the Trump administration in response to funding cuts included in the reconciliation bill that restrict Medicaid reimbursements to certain clinics.
  • This lawsuit follows a recent Supreme Court decision permitting states to block Medicaid funding for abortion clinics, allowing Republicans to incorporate such restrictions into the legislation.
  • The bill cuts federal funding for abortion providers receiving over $800,000 in grants for one year, potentially forcing the shutdown of close to 200 centers in two dozen states, impacting care for more than 1.1 million patients.
  • The leader of Planned Parenthood described the bill as an illegal and deliberate assault, announcing plans to take legal action against the Trump administration to halt what she called this unjustified move.
  • In Iowa, four Planned Parenthood clinics have closed while one remains open, with officials warning no other providers can fill Medicaid gaps, forcing patients to choose between health care and bills.
