The Financing Planned Parenthood receives for a variety of reproductive and preventive care services via Medicaid, is threatened after the Supreme Court and the Senate Parliamentarian both the Republican efforts of the Greenlit to get rid of the women’s health organization of funds.
The senate version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump was barely adopted on Tuesday with a provision that would prohibit the federal medician financing for any health services provided by Planned Parenthood, after the Senate Parliamentary Elizaban had told the Macdonough. The provision initially tried to ‘defend’ planned parenting for 10 years, but the timing was reduced Up to a year prior to MacDonough’s ruling. The swordy tax and expenditure package now returns to the house.
The passage of the bill comes only a few days after the Supreme Court ruled These states can prohibit medicaid financing for all healthcare services provided by Planned Parenthood, in a case of a 2018 sequence By South Carolina Republican Government Henry McMaster who burned every clinic that offers abortion services from the State Medicaid program.

The decisions are important victories for Republican legislators in their decades of attempt to rid Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider of the country, of government financing. The Hyde amendment is already lacking federal dollars to be used for abortion. Medicaid-It is the federal program that health insurance for coverage of health insurance More than 70 million people No abortions of households with a low income cover, with very limited exceptions. But Medicaid includes other, non-abortion healthcare services that offer planned parental clinics, and many of the patients who visit the locations of the organization are medicaid recipients.
Anti-abortion groups praised the decision of the Supreme Court; Katie Daniel, director of Legal Affairs and Policy Advisor for the anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said In a statement that the decision “saves countless unborn babies from a violent death.”
But Planned Parenthood, proponents of abortion rights and care providers condemned the decision of the court. Planned Parenthood has said that the management of Medicaid cover for the number of other health care services that offer its clinics – such as contraception, STD tests and treatment and cancer investigations – can lead to many patients not receiving the health care they need.
“The Supreme Court again chose politicians who believe that they know better than you who want to block you to see your trusted care provider and to make your own decisions in health care,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Hood Federation of America, said In a statement. “Patients need access to contraception, cancer screening, STD tests and treatment, and more. And at the moment the legislators in the Planned Parenthood congress try to ‘defend’ as part of their long-term goal to close planned parenting and to ban abortion nationally.”
The provision that focuses on Planned Parenthood in Trump’s tax and expenditure package would taxpayers an extra $ 52 million extra costs in 10 years, according to an estimate of the Conference budget office. Planned Parenthood has said That if it is ‘mis -art’, nearly 200 health centers in 24 states run the risk of closing and more than 1.1 million patients could lose access to their health care.
Legislers and anti-abortion groups that have insisted on “defending” of Planned Parenthood have argued that patients can turn to federally qualified health centers instead of the health organization for women. But a recent one report From the Guttmacher Institute, which investigates and supports sexual and reproductive health and rights, concluded that federally qualified health centers would not be able to easily replace the provider network of Planned Parenthood.
Proponents of abortion rights sounded an alarm on Tuesday, after the tax and expenditure package had cleared the Senate with the provision aimed at Planned Parenthood.
“If this bill takes, this is the most devastating blow to women’s health and physical autonomy since the overthrow Roe,“Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement.” What we see is a complete attack on the full care that these clinics offer-abortion care, yes, but also so much more. “
“If this bill passes, many people will not be anywhere else to go for these services,” Northup continued. “The American health care system is already thinly stretched – the majority in congress should not further limit where people can get health care. Patients must have the freedom to choose their care provider.”
