House Republicans Propose Defunding Planned Parenthood, Other Abortion Providers in Megabill

The proposal, folded into Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill,’ follows a move by the administration to strip Planned Parenthood of Title X funding last month.

House Republicans are proposing a cut to Medicaid reimbursements for organizations like Planned Parenthood as part of their sweeping policy bill to implement President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Within the Energy and Commerce Committee’s 160-page budget proposal released on Sunday, there is a provision that strips funding from organizations that provide abortions, except in cases of rape, incest, or health risk to the mother.
