US EditionUS judge blocks Trump-backed Medicaid cuts to Planned Parenthood
UNITED STATES, JUL 29 – A federal judge ruled the Medicaid funding cut likely violates the Constitution, protecting over 1 million patients dependent on Planned Parenthood’s reproductive health services nationwide.
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston issued a preliminary injunction earlier this month to block Medicaid funding cuts to Planned Parenthood affiliates, citing constitutional concerns.
- Amid efforts to defund abortion providers, last week, Judge Talwani blocked enforcement of a Trump-backed Medicaid measure restricting funds to clinics not performing abortions.
- Facing potential closures, Planned Parenthood warned of health risks in its clinics, citing risks of adverse health outcomes where care is disrupted or unavailable, Talwani wrote in her Monday order.
- Following the ruling, the federal government said, `Medicaid funding must continue for Planned Parenthood`, and many health centers resumed billing.
- Legal experts warn that the case, Planned Parenthood v. Kennedy, could establish significant judicial power precedents as the First Circuit Court of Appeals considers the Trump administration's appeal.
