A federal judge on July 11 stood by her own order blocking a federal law that withholds Medicaid reimbursements from Planned Parenthood after the Trump administration urged her to cancel it.

The court previously paused a provision in the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act that stops Planned Parenthood clinics from taking in Medicaid payments for a one-year period. Planned Parenthood is well-known for providing abortions, but its affiliated clinics also offer services such as birth control and pregnancy testing to Medicaid recipients.
