Conservatives rage over re-funding of Planned Parenthood

Planned Parenthood's beleaguered network of clinics will regain access to hundreds of millions in Medicaid funding this weekend — the fallout of Republicans' failure to pass an extension of the one-year defunding provision they approved last year. Starting July 5, clinics around the country can once again bill the federal program for reimbursement after providing non-abortion services, like birth control and screenings for sexually-transmitted infections, to low-income patients. Though other funding threats loom, it's a lifeline for the struggling organization, which has closed nearly 30 health centers nationwide that collectively served more than 40,000 patients since the defunding provision in the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill Act took effect in July 2025.
