Judge Blocks Trump's Planned Parenthood Defunding | JQJO

A federal judge ordered continued Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood nationwide, overturning a previous ruling that restricted payments to certain clinics. The decision counters President Trump's administration's efforts to defund the organization through a provision in his tax bill. Planned Parenthood argued that funding cuts would force the closure of nearly 200 clinics, impacting over 1 million patients. The Department of Health disagreed with the ruling, citing concerns about political advocacy over patient care.
