A federal judge says Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide must continue to be reimbursed for Medicaid funding.

A federal judge in Massachusetts granted the protection to help stop a "defunding" provision passed by Congress.

A previous injunction specifically blocked the government from cutting Medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood members that didn’t provide abortion care or didn’t meet a threshold of at least $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in a given year.
