Planned Parenthood survives Trump’s latest attack—for now
President Donald Trump’s fight to overcome women and low -income people from their access to reproductive and family health care is not just about the courts.
On Monday, the American district judge Indira Talwani in Boston judged that the Trump administration must continue to reimburse All Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide for the funding of Medicaid.
“Patients are likely to undergo harmful consequences on health where care is disrupted or unavailable,” wrote Talwani in his order on Monday.
“In particular, the restriction of the capacity of members to provide health services threatens an increase in unwanted pregnancies and complications which result from it due to reduced access to effective contraceptives and an increase in IST not diagnosed and not treated.”
This follows a preliminary injunction last week by Talwani declaring that only clinics who did not make abortions had to be reimbursed.
Of course, it has always been a Battle of visible abortions on tunnels For the GOP and not overall access to medical health care to those less fortunate financially.

As part of Trump’s “One Big and Beautiful Bill”, the President – while not specifically appointing Planned Parenthood – has registered that institutions that carry out abortions and receive more than $ 800,000 of Medicaid funding in 2023 should be cut For a year.
This attempt to close Planned Parenthood operations, the organization said in its trial against the Trump administration, has potentially closed more than 200 clinics in 24 states.
Dominique Lee, president and chief executive officer of the Massachusetts League of Planned Parenthood, was delighted by Talwani’s decision on Monday.
“At a time when access to reproductive health care is being a constant attack, this decision is a powerful reminder that patients, not politics, should guide health care”, it said in a press release.
“In the Massachusetts and beyond, we will continue to fight to make sure that everyone can turn to the supplier they trust, regardless of their insurance or postal code.”
The Massachusetts and UTAH, the Planned Parenthood leagues, brought legal action against the Secretary of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this year in collaboration with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
While Trump and his servants compete with Planned Parenthood – and access to Medicaid in general – their scary message to push women to have more children is very lively.
Again, having children can be much more difficult for mothers who have historically relied on Medicaid to deliver these beams of joy.
According to The CDC41% of births in 2021 used Medicaid as a source of payment.
However, the administration’s tax bill – that many republicans admitted not to read– is planned to launch millions of Americans in the program.
In other words, Trump and his ghouls want you to have your cake, eat it and pay tens of thousands of dollars for that too.
