    A preliminary injunction prohibits the federal government from enforcing the provision against Planned Parenthood, and cases filed by 23 states and a Maine provider are pending.

    The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Pub. L. No. 119-21 (2025), signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, imposes a one-year prohibition on all federal Medicaid funding for certain entities that provide abortions. This provision—which Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called a “back door ban on abortion across the entire country”—is considered an attempt to defund Planned Parenthood and has already been met with lawsuits from Planned Parenthood, a Maine reproductive health provider, and a coalition of 23 states. While a preliminary injunction prohibits enforcement of this provision against Planned Parenthood facilities, the federal government has appealed these orders, and the other two cases are awaiting decisions in district courts. As the decisions stack up, this OBBBA provision could end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.
