A federal judge has halted the Trump administration's push to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood, siding with the organization’s argument that losing those funds would force nearly 200 clinics across 24 states to shut down. The ruling is a temporary win for reproductive health advocates, though the legal battle isn’t over yet.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about politics—it’s about access. Planned Parenthood provides everything from cancer screenings to contraception for low-income patients, and losing Medicaid funding would leave huge gaps in care, especially in states with few alternatives. The judge’s decision keeps those clinics open for now, but the fight over federal funding is far from settled.
