California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced on Tuesday that he will be suing the Trump administration for a policy that would effectively defund Planned Parenthood by blocking it from receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
Bonta’s lawsuit specifically targets the “Defund Provision,” tucked into the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which prohibited Medicaid reimbursements to any nonprofit that provides abortion and received more than $800,000 in Medicaid funding in 2023.
Were the provision to be implemented, Planned Parenthood California Central Coast (PPCCC), stands to lose $17 million annually, or about 60 percent of its revenue.
