Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Efforts To Defund Planned Parenthood

A federal judge on Monday ruled #PlannedParenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for #Medicaid funding as the nation’s largest abortion provider fights President Donald Trump’s administration over efforts to defund the organization in his signature tax legislation.

States can block #Medicaid money for health care at #PlannedParenthood, the #SupremeCourt says

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST
Updated 3:09 PM EDT, June 26, 2025

WASHINGTON (AP) — "States can block the country’s biggest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, from receiving Medicaid money for health services such as #contraception and #CancerScreenings, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

"The 6-3 opinion by Justice Neil Gorsuch and joined by the rest of the court’s conservatives was not directly about abortion, but it comes as Republicans back a wider push across the country to defund the organization. It closes off Planned Parenthood’s primary court path to keeping Medicaid funding in place: patient lawsuits.

"The justices found that while Medicaid law allows people choose their own provider, that does not make it a right enforceable in court. The court split along ideological lines, with the three liberals dissenting in the case from #SouthCarolina.

"Public health care money generally cannot be used to pay for abortions, but Medicaid patients go to Planned Parenthood for other needs in part because it can be difficult to find a doctor who takes the publicly funded insurance, the organization has said.

"South Carolina Gov. #HenryMcMaster, a Republican [and asshole], said Planned Parenthood should not get any taxpayer money. The budget bill backed by President Donald Trump in Congress would also cut Medicaid money for the group. That could force the closure of about 200 centers, most of them in states where abortion is legal, Planned Parenthood has said."

Blocking the governor's order, the #4thCircuit Court of Appeals required #SouthCarolina to include #PlannedParenthood in their #Medicaid program, granting residents the right to choose their #healthcare providers.

#SCOTUS reversed that decision on Thursday.

#law #ActivistCourt #poverty #insurance

Some areas are "dark zones" for #cell coverage, she said. And some residents "have to drive to McDonald's to use their #WiFi. There are places that don't even have #internet coverage. I mean, you can't get it."
#Telehealth has its advantages, said Koskenoja, the emergency #medicine MD who previously worked for #PlannedParenthood in #Marquette, "but for a lot of #health problems, it's just not a safe or realistic way to take care of people."

#infrastructure #economy #healthcare #abortion #access

Yet…brick-&-mortar facilities still account for about 80% of clinician-provided #abortions….

Hannah Harriman, a #Marquette County #Health Dept #nurse who previously spent 12 yrs working for #PlannedParenthood of Marquette, is skeptical of any suggestion that #telehealth can replace a rural brick-&-mortar #clinic. "I say that those people have never spent any time in the UP," she said, referring to the #UpperPeninsula.

#ReproductiveHealth #abortion #access #medicine

Asked if #PlannedParenthood's natl #funding structure needs to change, #PPMI CEO Thornton Greear said: "I think that it needs to be looked at, & what they're able to do. I know that that is actively happening."
When #Marquette clinic's closure was announced, dozens of #patients voiced their concerns in Google reviews, w/several saying the #clinic had "saved my life," & describing how they'd been helped after an #assault, or been able to get low-cost #care when they couldn't afford other options.

Yet, unlike some independent clinics that had to close, #PlannedParenthood's national federation brings in hundreds of millions of dollars a year, the majority of which is spent on #policy & #legal efforts rather than state-level #medical services.

The org & some of its state affiliates have also battled allegations of mismanagement, & complaints about staffing & patient care. PPMI staffers in 5 clinics #unionized last year, w/some citing problems in mgmt, #workplace & #care conditions.

#law

Many clinics that provide #abortion are closing, even where it’s still #legal

#PlannedParenthood of #Michigan is giving up on 4 of its #health centers, citing #financial challenges.
Including the one in #Marquette, the only clinic that provided abortion in the vast… #UpperPeninsula. For the ~1,100 patients who visited the clinic each year for anything from #cancer screenings to #contraception implants, the next-closest Planned Parenthood will now be a ~5-hr drive south.

SCOTUS just gave abortion clinics a rare win

But more significant threats from Trump’s Department of Justice remain.

by Julianne McShane, 2/24/2025

"Abortion rights advocates took the court’s rejection of the cases as a win, albeit a limited one.

"Katie O’Connor, director of federal abortion policy at the National Women’s Law Center, said that while the organization was “relieved” to hear about the court’s decision, “anti-abortion extremists are now more emboldened” thanks to Trump.

"Last month, for example, Trump’s DOJ announced it would limit enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 federal law that prohibits physical force, threats, or intimidation against people trying to access reproductive health clinics. While the law has been used to prosecute both anti-abortion protesters targeting abortion clinics and abortion rights protesters targeting anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, Trump baselessly claimed the Biden administration 'selectively weaponized [the law] against Christians.' The new DOJ guidance—which says the FACE Act should only be used in 'extraordinary circumstances' or cases involving 'death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage'—reportedly has abortion providers bracing for more intense protests and fearing more violence. (The DOJ’s directive to limit FACE Act enforcement, though, does not override the legality of buffer zones, which are controlled by state and local law enforcement.)"

Catholic Nun Explains Pro-Life In A Way That Will Stun Many (Especially Republican Lawmakers)

Thursday, July 30, 2015

"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."
Sister Joan Chittister, Benedictine Nun

#Catholics at the #DNC: You won't go to hell for #voting #Democratic

Dean, who has been #endorsed by #PlannedParenthood for her #support of #legal #abortion, said she remembers feeling "#disrespected for who I was, what my #faith believes and what I stood for."

Another "fun" tidbit.

I talked to Planned Parenthood for a vasectomy. In this area, they quoted it at $600.

Okay...

A few weeks elapse. I make an appointment. They see I need to see a doctor first. The estimate for that visit is $1782.

:headache:

I did call them. They said they call back, but never did. I cancelled my appointment today.

I can't believe that a vasectomy is not fully covered by the state.

"What? You don't want to make children? How dare you?" says the patriarchal asshole.
