A federal judge recently ruled that a Republican effort to withhold Medicaid funds from the organization’s clinics was likely unconstitutional.

Gov. Josh Shapiro has signed onto a lawsuit alleging the federal government is illegally blocking Medicaid funds from going to Planned Parenthood and affiliated healthcare providers.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, argues that a provision in the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” excludes Planned Parenthood from federal funding "in retribution" for abortion advocacy.
