Government Can Withhold Funds From Planned Parenthood, Appeals Court Rules
Government Can Withhold Funds From Planned Parenthood, Appeals Court RulesSeattle Times
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court Friday allowed the Trump administration to continue withholding funding from Planned Parenthood as mandated in the tax and domestic policy bill President Donald Trump signed in July.
The provision requires the government to stop making Medicaid reimbursements to a subset of the nation’s largest abortion providers, in a manner so narrowly defined that Planned Parenthood claimed it had been deliberately singled out. The decision clears the way for the provision to stay in effect and sends the group’s lawsuit back to a lower court to untangle.
A three-judge panel, made up of appointees of President Joe Biden, voted unanimously to throw out a district court judge’s ruling from July. That judge found the provision appeared to unlawfully designate the organization, with potentially drastic effects.
