The provision would prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding for care outside of abortion services for one year.

Defunding Planned Parenthood is really an attempt to take away access to abortion in states where it is legal,” said one leader of the women’s health care organization.

The new law does not expressly name Planned Parenthood, but bars Medicare reimbursements to nonprofits that provide abortions and that also took in more than $800,000 in Medicaid revenue in 2023.
