Appeals Court Rules Trump Admin Can Halt Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid Funding

The case stemmed from a lawsuit Planned Parenthood filed in July alleging that a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was designed to target its members.

A federal appeals court issued a ruling on Sept. 11 allowing the federal government to enforce a law that would halt Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.

This follows a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in July that had blocked the federal government from implementing a provision in the One Big Beautiful Act.
