A federal judge on July 28 blocked a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, ruling that it likely violates the Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani issued a preliminary injunction blocking a section of the law that she said targeted Planned Parenthood and constituted a form of punishment against the organization and its members for providing abortions.
