Planned Parenthood sues Trump administration over planned defunding

- 7/7/2025

</head><body><p>(Reuters) -Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration on Monday over a provision in President Donald Trump's sweeping domestic policy bill that would strip funding from health centers operated by the reproductive healthcare and abortion provider.</p><p>In a complaint filed in Boston federal court, Planned Parenthood said the provision is unconstitutional, and its clear purpose is to prevent its nearly 600 health centers from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.</p><p>Planned Parenthood said that would have "catastrophic consequences," given that the health centers serve more than 1 million patients annually through Medicaid.</p><p>"The true design of the Defund Provision is simply to express disapproval of, attack, and punish Planned Parenthood, which plays a particularly prominent role in the public debate over abortion," Planned Parenthood said.</p><p>Medicaid is overseen by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That agency did not immediately respond to requests for comment.</p><p>(Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Mark Porter and Chizu Nomiyama )</p></body></html></p> <div id="news-wrapper"> <div class="thumbnail additional-resources client-content-image-box"> <div class="box-image" style="background-image: url(/images/home/news.jpg);"></div> <div class="caption"> <h3>Nationwide News</h3> <div> <p><a href='/mh/news-article-detail.aspx?id=155564'>NJ AG investigating after Fort Lee police shoot woman in ‘mental health crisis’</a></p> <p><a href='/mh/news-article-detail.aspx?id=155555'>How understaffing, mental health failures led to ‘mounting crisis’ in Richland County jail</a></p> <p><a href='/mh/news-archive.aspx'>News Archive</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <!-- FOOTER --> <footer class="footer"> <!-- FOOTER INFO --> <div class="clearfix footerInfo"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-7 col-xs-12"> <div class="footerText"> <a href="http://www.trilogyir.com/" target="_blank" class="footerLogo"><img src="/images/Noc-Logo-white.png" alt="Footer Logo" style="width: 200px;"></a> <div class="genericContent" id="landingPageText"> <p>The Network of Care for Mental/Behavioral Health is an online information portal for individuals, families and social service agencies concerned with community mental health services, substance use treatment programs and help for people with developmental disabilities.</p> </div> <h3 id="lblTechAssistance" style="color: #fff; margin: 25px 0 5px;">For Technical Assistance:</h3> <ul class="list-styled list-contact"> <li><i class="fa fa-envelope" aria-hidden="true"></i><a href="mailto:admin@trilogyir.com?Subject=From Network of Care">admin@trilogyir.com</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-xs-12"> <div class="useLink"> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li id="liFooterLinks1aMH" style="display: none;"></li> <li id="footer-services"><a href="/mh/services/index.aspx">Services</a></li> <li id="footer-library"><a href="/mh/library/index.aspx">Library</a></li> <li id="footer-links"><a href="/mh/links/index.aspx">Links</a></li> <li id="footer-legislate"><a href="/mh/legislate/index.aspx" id="footerLinks1PlaceHolder_mhFooterLegislate">Legislate</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-2 col-xs-12"> <div class="useLink"> <ul class="list-unstyled"> <li id="ucOtherSites_liVisitOtherSites"> <a href="#" id="btnOtherSites" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#otherSiteModal">Visit Our Other Sites</a> <div class="modal fade" id="otherSiteModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="otherSiteModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog" role="document"> <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button> <h4 class="modal-title" id="otherSiteModalLabel">Visit Our Other Sites</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <div id="other-sites-footer" class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-center" style="height: 120px;"><a href="http://westmoreland.pa.nocbeta.org/mh/" class="currentSite"><img src="/images/home/products/mh.jpg" alt="Behavioral Health <br> and Developmental Services" class="img-responsive center-block"/> Behavioral Health <br> and Developmental Services</a></div><div class="col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-center" style="height: 120px;"><a href="http://westmoreland.pa.nocbeta.org/veterans/" class=""><img src="/images/home/products/veterans.jpg" alt="For Veterans " class="img-responsive center-block"/> For Veterans </a></div><div class="col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-center" style="height: 120px;"><a href="http://westmoreland.pa.nocbeta.org/pr/" class=""><img src="/images/home/products/pr.jpg" alt="Post-Incarceration Reentry" class="img-responsive center-block"/> Post-Incarceration Reentry</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="liFooterLinks2aMH" style="display: none;"></li> <li id="footer-about"><a href="/mh/about/">About Us</a></li> <li id="footer-feedback"><a href="/mh/feedback.aspx">Feedback</a></li> <li id="footer-privacy"><a href="/mh/privacy.aspx">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li id="footer-widgets"><a href="/mh/services/widget.aspx">Add This Service Directory to Your Website</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- COPY RIGHT --> <div class="clearfix copyRight"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <div class="copyRightWrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-push-7 col-xs-12"> <!-- Go to www.addthis.com/dashboard to customize your tools --> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox_es1d"></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-7 col-sm-pull-5 col-xs-12"> <div class="copyRightText"> <p>Copyright ©<span id="copyrightYear">2025</span> Network of Care -
