Progressive Politics

Sorry for the weird source, a YouTube Post, but this is where I first saw it.

Part of the Republicans' Big Beautiful Bill includes a stipulation (that Planned Parenthood is challenging in court) that no federal funding or Medicaid dollars would be given to clinics that provide abortion. It was already against the law for any organization to use federal dollars towards abortion services other than for cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the pregnant person. In other words, no one's tax dollars were being used to fund abortions.

Activists say this was a targeted move to finally 'defund' Planned Parenthood, a long-term goal of Republicans.

Medical facilities, including Planned Parenthood, need that money to stay open. So, the Wisconsin branches, even though they're in a state where abortion is legal, will stop performing abortions since they can't afford to lose the federal money.
