Planned Parenthood Medicaid Ban Expires | US News

The federal ban on Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood has expired, sparking a political firestorm as conservatives scramble to reinstate it — a major win after Roe v. Wade fell. Republicans like Senator Josh Hawley are furious they missed a chance to codify the defunding through immigration legislation, while pro-life leaders like Marjorie Dannenfelser demand Republicans act now to restore the policy. With states now empowered to exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid under a Supreme Court ruling, GOP-led states are poised to cut off funding — while Planned Parenthood warns the previous ban crippled access to lifesaving care without stopping abortions. The battle is far from over.
