Medicaid coverage for non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood is resuming as a Republican-imposed one-year ban expires. The ban led to the closure of nearly 30 Planned Parenthood clinics, with advocates warning of reduced access to services like cancer screenings. Republicans are attempting to extend the prohibition, viewing clinic closures as a policy victory.

Medicaid coverage for non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood clinics resumes after a GOP-imposed ban expires on July 4. The one-year prohibition led to the closure of nearly 30 clinics, with advocates citing denied access to services like cancer screenings. Republicans aim to reinstate the ban permanently, while states now decide Medicaid coverage for remaining clinics.

The Supreme Court has indefinitely extended a freeze on strict new restrictions for dispensing the abortion pill mifepristone, providing legal certainty for pharmacies and clinicians. The order allows teleprescribing and mailing of abortion drugs to continue. The case will likely end up at the Supreme Court again soon.

A circuit court ruling has caused confusion over access to abortion pills, with some providers stopping prescriptions and patients left wondering what's next. The Supreme Court froze the decision for a week, but may rule that the drug can only be dispensed in person. This has put abortion access at the forefront of an election year.
