From the Washington Examiner: Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration over a provision in the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act that prevents the abortion provider from receiving Medicaid reimbursements from the government.
In a suit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Planned Parenthood claims that the provision is unconstitutional because it singles out the organization for cuts, according to a press release.
“We’re suing the Trump Administration over this targeted attack on Planned Parenthood health centers and the patients who rely on them for care,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, said. “This case is about making sure that patients who use Medicaid as their insurance to get birth control, cancer screenings, and [sexually transmitted infection] testing and treatment can continue to do so at their local Planned Parenthood health center, and we will make that clear in court.”
The bill, which President Donald Trump signed on July 4, is considered a major win for Trump’s agenda and anti-abortion advocates.
