Krishnamoorthi Responds to Federal Court Ruling Blocking Trump Administration’s Retaliatory Cuts to Planned Parenthood

WASHINGTON – Following a federal judge’s decision to block the Trump administration from enforcing retaliatory Medicaid funding cuts to Planned Parenthood, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement:

“I applaud the federal court’s decision to block President Trump’s cruel and unconstitutional attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. Just last month, I stood with Planned Parenthood of Illinois to warn that these attacks on reproductive health care are not only wrong—they’re dangerous. This ruling is a victory for the thousands of Illinoisans and millions of Americans who rely on Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings, STI testing, birth control, and more. I’ll continue fighting to protect access to care and stop these politically motivated assaults on women’s health.”
