Judge blocks Trump administration from cutting Planned Parenthood funding

A ruling by a federal judge has temporarily prevented the Trump administration from withdrawing funds from Planned Parenthood under the new GOP tax and health legislation.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston granted Planned Parenthood’s request for a temporary injunction while the lawsuit progresses.

Recently, Planned Parenthood initiated a legal battle against the law’s clause, which enforces a year-long suspension on state Medicaid funds to healthcare non-profits that perform abortions and have received over $800,000 in federal support in 2023.

Judge Talwani’s decision allows the government to continue implementing the law against other organizations. Although Planned Parenthood is not specifically named in the legislation, it claims to represent the majority of those affected.

Yet at least one other organization also said it would be impacted. Maine Family Planning, the state’s largest network of reproductive health clinics, filed a separate lawsuit last week seeking to restore Medicaid funding.

The lawsuit argued GOP senators lowered the funding threshold to $800,000 explicitly to target providers other than Planned Parenthood.

Taxpayer money is already prohibited from covering most abortions.

Instead, the new law cuts reimbursement for other health services provided by Planned Parenthood and other health centers, like cancer screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
