Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 8, 2025 \/ 14:24 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the government\u2019s effort to defund Planned Parenthood by ordering President Donald Trump\u2019s administration to continue funding to the nation\u2019s largest abortion provider for at least the next 14 days.<\/p>\n

The court order<\/a>, signed by Judge Indira Talwani, partially halts a provision in the \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill Act\u201d that would have cut off Medicaid reimbursements for certain organizations that perform abortions. Trump signed the bill on Friday, July 4, after it passed both chambers of Congress with support from most Republicans and no Democrats.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood Federation of America sued the administration<\/a> just three days after Trump signed the bill into law and asked the court to issue a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement against the organization while its litigation continues. Talwani signed the order on the same day.<\/p>\n

In het a statement shortly after the order was signed<\/a>, Planned Parenthood thanked the judge for acting quickly \u201cto block this unconstitutional law attacking Planned Parenthood providers and patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the statement, Planned Parenthood staffers had \u201cbeen forced to turn away patients who use Medicaid to get basic sexual and reproductive health care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawsuit asserts the defunding effort targets Planned Parenthood \u201cfor punishment\u201d and that even though the organization isn\u2019t singled out by name, it is \u201cthe target of the law.\u201d <\/p>\n

It claims the bill denies Planned Parenthood equal protection under the law and that the network has been targeted because of \u201cits unique role in providing abortions and advocating for abortion rights and access across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement provided to CNA, a White House official did not get into specific legal arguments but stated that the provision to defund organizations that perform abortion is in line with public opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is ending the forced use of federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion \u2014 a commonsense position that the overwhelming majority of Americans agree with,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

Katie Glenn Daniel, the director of legal affairs and policy counsel at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, told CNA that Planned Parenthood\u2019s lawsuit is \u201cbrazen defiance of elected leaders, both the president and Congress, who had every right to act on the will of the people to stop forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the ink was even dry on President Trump\u2019s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, abortion giant Planned Parenthood ran to court to protect their cash flow of over $2 million a day from American taxpayers, and an activist federal judge obliged by ordering the spigot turned back on,\u201d Glenn Daniel added.<\/p>\n

Glenn Daniel thanked the Trump administration for \u201cstanding firm on principle\u201d and accused Planned Parenthood of trying to \u201crun out the clock and rake in every last tax dollar they can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re confident [the Trump administration] will prevail and the abortion industry\u2019s last-ditch money grab will fail,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Onder long-standing federal law<\/a>, taxpayer money cannot be used to fund most abortions. Federal funds have historically still covered non-abortive services at abortion clinics through Medicaid reimbursements.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood\u2019s annual report for July 2023 to June 2024<\/a> disclosed that the abortion network received nearly $800 million in taxpayer funding in that period, which accounted for almost 40% of its total revenue. A large portion of these funds come from state and federal Medicaid reimbursements.<\/p>\n

Pro-life organizations for decades have urged<\/a> the federal government and state governments to end all taxpayer funds for organizations that perform abortions. The legislation signed by Trump halts federal Medicaid reimbursements to those organizations for one year, but activists hope to make the policy shift permanent.<\/p>\n

The issue came before the Supreme Court in its last term after South Carolina halted state-level Medicaid reimbursement funding for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic facilities. Two patients who received non-abortive services at those facilities sued the state, claiming that the policy violated their right to receive services at the provider of their choosing.<\/p>\n

In het a 6-3 decision<\/a>, the Supreme Court sided with South Carolina, finding that the patients did not have a legal right to sue. However, the current case against the federal government is distinctly different because the abortion network \u2014 rather than the patients \u2014 filed the lawsuit on different grounds.<\/p>\n
