Nearly 30,000, or more than 40%, of Planned Parenthood of Illinois patients use Medicaid to access health care services at Planned Parenthood’s health centers, according to the organization.

The nonprofit is challenging a new law that bars its clinics from receiving federal money for any treatment, including birth control and checkups.

The Utah chapter of Planned Parenthood is suing over a provision in the "Big Beautiful Bill" preventing nonprofits that provide elective abortions from being reimbursed for providing reproductive care to Medicaid patients.

The clinics have long been controversial, but in many parts of the state, they offer the quickest access to safety net care.

Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, called the measure a “big bad betrayal of a bill” in a Tuesday news call, and said the funding cuts in the bill “would make it harder, if not impossible, for everyone, everywhere to get an abortion.”
