A panel of federal judges on Tuesday lifted a ruling blocking Medicaid funding cuts for Planned Parenthood in multiple states.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a hold on an order from District Judge Indira Talwani that had prevented a law removing funds from Planned Parenthood from being enforced. The law in question was passed by Congress as part of President Trump’s tax package, commonly known as the “big, beautiful bill.”
That bill restricts Medicaid funding for tax-exempt organizations that provide reproductive services including abortions if they received more than $800,000 in Medicaid funds during fiscal 2023, according to Reuters. Talwani’s injunction was previously being upheld in 22 states and Washington, D.C.
Planned Parenthood has warned the law could lead to the closure of its facilities.
