Judge Indira Talwani Expands Order, Mandates Medicaid Funding for All Planned Parenthood Clinics

Katherine Hamilton 28 Jul 2025

A federal judge on Monday completely blocked a provision of the Big, Beautiful Bill defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood of taxpayer dollars through Medicaid.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, a President Obama appointee, granted a preliminary injunction, blocking the provision and essentially mandating Medicaid funding for all Planned Parenthood clinics as litigation continues. Talwani released the expanded order after issuing an order last week only partially blocking the provision for a subset of clinics that did not independently meet the provision’s “prohibited entity” definition: [Planned Parenthood Federation] members  that do not provide abortions because of state law or those who received less than $800,000 in Medicaid reimbursements in 2023.

“Patients are likely to suffer adverse health consequences where care is disrupted or unavailable,” Talwani wrote in her order. “In particular, restricting Members’ ability to provide healthcare services threatens an increase in unintended pregnancies and attendant complications because of reduced access to effective contraceptives, and an increase in undiagnosed and untreated STIs.”

Talwani added that the court is “not enjoining the federal government from regulating abortion and is not directing the federal government to fund elective abortions or any healthcare service not otherwise eligible for Medicaid coverage.”

She wrote:

    Instead, this order grants preliminary relief that prevents Defendants from targeting a specific group of entities—Planned Parenthood Federation Members—for exclusion from reimbursements under the Medicaid program where Plaintiffs have established a substantial likelihood that they will succeed in establishing that such targeted exclusion violates the United States Constitution, and where Plaintiffs satisfy the remaining requirements to obtain a preliminary injunction.

This judge is completely disregarding SCOTUS's ruling against nationwide injunctions, as well as trying to issue one against a duly passed and signed federal law without any kind of due process adjudication on its Constitutionality.  It doesn't wortk that way!

So what?  There is no Constitutional right to 'free' [sic] health care.

Seriously?  This is the basis of her decision?  That there's a substantial likelihood that they will succeed in establishing that the Constitution is being violated?  What a crock of BS.  Any law school student could be expelled for proposing such a vacuous argument.

Yes, she was born here (NJ).  Got her law degree at Cal-Berkeley.  Her Senate confirmation vote was 94-0.  Republicans are idiots.

Think long and hard about how the Democrats have blocked Trump from confirming a single US Attorney.  Yet every Republican Senator but two showed up on the Senate floor and cast a vote affirming this radical Democrat judge.

Republicans are stupid, stupid, stupid.

I doubt if $$$$ had anything to do with it.  This judge is a Marxist true believer, who's ruling is based entirely on Leftist ideology.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
So what?  There is no Constitutional right to 'free' [sic] health care.
There is no Constitutional Right to murder your child, either.

But I bet I could make a religious objection to being forced to fund it.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

True believers always have a monetary or power gain to make somehow.

That is the theme of Marxism:  Those in power profit at the expense of the populace.

This ruling is a joke. The phrase "checks and balances" is foreign to this fraud of a judge.
