Planned Parenthood achieved a partial legal victory against funding cuts from President Trump's tax legislation, which would have affected Medicaid payments to providers receiving over $800,000. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction blocking cuts to organizations not providing abortion services or lacking adequate reimbursements. Planned Parenthood expressed gratitude the court acknowledged the "harm" of the bill but voiced disappointment that some members would still lose funding, risking patient access to essential reproductive health services. The lawsuit is against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., aiming to protect healthcare access for patients.
Planned Parenthood expressed gratitude that the court recognized the "harm" caused by defunding efforts while also noting disappointment over the members losing funding, which could disrupt patient care.
