A federal judge in Boston has issued a new order blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a Medicaid provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that would cut off funding to Planned Parenthood and similar providers in more than 20 Democratic-led states. The ruling, in a lawsuit brought by a multistate coalition, finds that the law likely violates constitutional limits on federal spending by failing to give states clear notice of how to comply.
The Trump administration is advancing budget cuts and provisions in a sweeping package known as the Big Beautiful Bill that would restrict federal funding for Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health providers. According to Slate’s What Next podcast, the effort threatens to curtail access to abortion and other health services nationwide by targeting funding rather than imposing outright abortion bans.
