Judge Indira Talwani Expands Order, Mandates Medicaid Funding for All Planned Parenthood Clinics | 28 July 2025 | A federal judge on Monday completely blocked a provision of the Big, Beautiful Bill defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, a President Obama appointee, granted a preliminary injunction, blocking the provision and essentially mandating Medicaid funding for all Planned Parenthood clinics as litigation continues. Talwani released the expanded order after issuing an order last week only partially blocking the provision for a subset of clinics that did not independently meet the provision's "prohibited entity" definition: [Planned Parenthood Federation] members that do not provide abortions because of state law or those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023.
