马萨诸塞州的一名联邦法官批准了一项临时限制令，反对唐纳德·特朗普总统最近通过的税收和政策大法案中的一项条款，该条款将拒绝计划生育及其成员组织为非堕胎医疗服务提供一年的医疗补助资金。
美国最大的生殖健康服务提供商Planned Parenthood及其两个成员组织周一早些时候就该条款对特朗普政府提起诉讼，这些组织表示，该条款旨在针对计划生育及其成员组织的堕胎权。
虽然海德修正案已经禁止使用联邦资金进行堕胎，但该条款将阻止提供堕胎服务的提供者以及在2023年获得超过80万美元或更多联邦医疗补助资金的提供者在一年内获得其他类型护理的医疗补助资金。
由前总统巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)提名的法官英迪拉·塔尔瓦尼(Indira Talwani)在临时限制令中写道，“被告、他们的代理人、雇员、被任命者、继承人以及与被告一致行动或参与被告的任何人都应采取一切必要措施，确保医疗补助资金继续以传统方式和时间表支付给美国计划生育联合会及其成员;马萨诸塞州计划生育联盟;和犹他州计划生育协会
该命令将持续14天，听证会将于7月21日举行。
“计划生育”周一晚上在社交媒体上发表声明写道，“我们很感激法院迅速采取行动，阻止这项攻击计划生育服务提供者和患者的违宪法律...斗争才刚刚开始，我们期待着上法庭的那一天!”
在其诉讼中，计划生育组织写道，该法案的条款旨在“明确禁止与计划生育组织相关的医疗中心接受医疗补助报销……以惩罚他们的合法活动，即完全在医疗补助计划之外，不使用任何联邦资金，倡导和提供合法的堕胎服务。”
该组织提到，计划生育分支机构每年为超过100万名使用医疗补助的患者提供服务，该组织写道，“失去选择计划生育成员健康中心作为医疗补助提供者的能力，对全国的医疗补助患者来说将是毁灭性的。”该组织还表示，如果诊所不能再获得医疗补助报销，计划生育诊所、服务和工作人员可能会被取消。
该诉讼点名卫生与公众服务部部长(HHS)小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪和医疗保险中心医疗补助服务(CMS)管理员Mehmet Oz及其各自的代理机构作为原告。ABC新闻已经联系了HHS和CMS进行评论。
多个反对堕胎权的团体谴责了该诉讼，称该法案是他们事业的胜利，并指责计划生育是绝望的。
“计划生育协会的绝望表现在他们再次跑到法院去解决他们自己制造的危机。一次又一次，他们依赖未经选举的法官来拯救他们脱离困境，而不是从内部解决深层次的系统性问题...随着“计划生育”在法律福利和堕胎政治上加倍努力，他们证明了为什么这个美丽的大法案是人民的历史性胜利，首次阻止了5亿美元的强迫纳税人资助腐败的堕胎行业，”苏珊·b·安东尼反堕胎美国法律事务主任凯蒂·丹尼尔在一份声明中说。
Planned Parenthood sues Trump admin, saying it is targeted by provision in megabill
A federal judge in Massachusetts granted a temporary restraining order against a provision in President Donald Trump's recently passed tax and policy megabill that would deny Planned Parenthood and its member organizations Medicaid funding for one year for non-abortion health services.
Planned Parenthood, the largest reproductive health provider in the United States, and two of its member organizations had filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration earlier Monday over the provision, which the groups said was meant to target Planned Parenthood and its member organizations over abortion access.
While the Hyde Amendment already prohibits the use of federal funding for abortions, the provision would prevent providers that offer abortion services and that received over $800,000 or more in federal Medicaid funding in 2023 from receiving Medicaid funding for other kinds of care for one year.
Judge Indira Talwani, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, wrote in the temporary restraining order that "Defendants, their agents, employees, appointees, successors, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants shall take all steps necessary to ensure that Medicaid funding continues to be disbursed in the customary manner and timeframes to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its members; Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts; and Planned Parenthood Association of Utah."
The order is set to remain in effect for 14 days, and a hearing has been set for July 21.
Planned Parenthood, in a statement on social media on Monday night, wrote, "We're grateful that the court acted swiftly to block this unconstitutional law attacking Planned Parenthood providers and patients... The fight is just beginning, and we look forward to our day in court!"
In its lawsuit, Planned Parenthood wrote that the bill's provision was meant "to categorically prohibit health centers associated with Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid reimbursements… in order to punish them for lawful activity, namely advocating for and providing legal abortion access wholly outside the Medicaid program and without using any federal funds."
Mentioning that Planned Parenthood branches serve over a million patients using Medicaid each year, the group wrote, "losing the ability to choose a Planned Parenthood Member health center as their Medicaid provider will be devastating for Medicaid patients across the country." The group also said that Planned Parenthood clinics, services, and staff would likely be eliminated if the clinics can no longer get Medicaid reimbursement.
The lawsuit names Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Mehmet Oz, along with their respective agencies, as plaintiffs. ABC News has reached out to HHS and CMS for comment.
Multiple groups that oppose abortion access condemned the lawsuit, calling the bill a win for their cause and framing Planned Parenthood as desperate.
"Planned Parenthood's desperation is showing as they run to the courts again to fix a crisis of their own making. Time after time they rely on unelected judges to bail them out of trouble, rather than fix deep systemic problems internally... As Planned Parenthood doubles down on lawfare and abortion politics, they prove exactly why the One Big Beautiful Bill is a historic victory for the people, stopping half a billion dollars in forced taxpayer funding of the corrupt abortion industry for the first time," Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America director of legal affairs Katie Daniel said in a statement.
