Federal Appeals Courts Allows Trump Admin to Cut Off Medicaid Funds to Planned Parenthood

HeadlineSep 12, 2025

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to block Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood and its members. In a statement, Planned Parenthood said the cuts put 200 Planned Parenthood health centers at risk of closure, with more than 1.1 million patients unable to use Medicaid to pay for reproductive health services. Planned Parenthood’s President Alexis McGill Johnson said, “We will continue to fight this unconstitutional law, even though this court has allowed it to impact patients.”
