Spending Law’s Medicaid Limits Spur Planned Parenthood Suit

Planned Parenthood is suing the Trump administration over its new multitrillion-dollar tax and spending law, claiming it unconstitutionally targets the group by barring its health centers from receiving Medicaid reimbursement for reproductive health care.

The law seeks to punish the group for advocating for and providing abortions, Planned Parenthood said in its lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Boston. It’s one of the first legal challenges to the bill President Donald Trump signed into law on Friday.
