A federal judge has issued a nationwide injunction blocking enforcement of a Trump-backed law that would have stripped Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood affiliates.
Five Planned Parenthood facilities in Northern California and the Central Coast are closing following the enactment of President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which blocks Medicaid funding from going to organizations that provide abortions. The legislation, signed earlier this month, directly bars any federal Medicaid dollars from being used for services at abortion-performing entities.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, alleging the abortion provider has been misleading women about the dangers of chemical abortions.
The Trump administration’s signature “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law last week, includes a provision pausing federal Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood for one year.
A new national survey shows that most American voters strongly oppose taxpayer funding for organizations such as Planned Parenthood that perform abortions and offer gender transition treatments to minors. The poll, conducted by CRC Research for the Life Leadership Conference, found 64 percent of registered voters disapprove of public funds going to groups that provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and related services to minors.
