A federal judge in Massachusetts has temporarily halted a Trump-era rule that aimed to cut Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood, citing potential harm to essential health services. The decision underscores ongoing legal battles over reproductive health funding.

Planned Parenthood sued the administration Monday, alleging that a provision of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is unconstitutional and will cause irreparable harm.

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.
