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

Maine state government made up a separate funding shortfall when lawmakers in June approved $6 million that will go to Planned Parenthood and a separate abortion provider, Maine Family Planning.
