Planned Parenthood stands to lose a huge portion of its federal funding under President Trump’s "big, beautiful bill," which could result in the closure of up to 200 clinics, according to the organization.

Not only will many Americans lose access to abortion care if those clinics close, but millions of people treated by the provider may delay or go without primary health care.

“It’s going to pretty devastating if that happens,” said Nisha Verma, senior adviser of reproductive health policy and advocacy at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

“The health care system is already struggling to take care of patients.”

A provision in the massive policy and spending package signed on July 4 bans health care providers who perform abortions and receive more than $800,000 in federal reimbursements from getting Medicaid funding for one year.

Planned Parenthood sued the Trump administration this week over the measure, arguing that its clinics make up most of the impacted entities. A federal judge approved its request to temporarily pause the Medicaid funding cut for two weeks.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Massachusetts District Judge Indira Talwani, who issued the injunction, will hear arguments on July 21 on whether to extend the pause further.
