A federal judge on Monday blocked a provision in the Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill" that barred Medicaid reimbursements from going to Planned Parenthood.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston, an Obama appointee, issued a preliminary injunction, saying it was likely unconstitutional to specifically target Planned Parenthood's health centers for punishment for providing abortions, Reuters reported.
The provisions contained in the bill prohibit abortion providers from receiving Medicaid funding for up to one year for any other reproductive health services they may provide.
