California lawmakers will consider bolstering funding for Planned Parenthood and other providers of reproductive health with a one-time infusion of $90 million, leaders of the state Legislature announced Friday. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) and Senate President Monique Limón (D-Goleta) said the money would give grants to providers that were affected by recent federal cuts passed by President Trump and the Republican-led Congress that targeted abortion providers. The funding is included in a proposed bill being considered by state lawmakers.

Since August, Hanaway has apparently been waging a "subpoena campaign" on the organization, and has served (or attempted to serve) five court orders to doctors, providers, and healthcare executives in clinics across the state in an effort to enforce Missouri's near-total abortion ban. In November, Missourians voted to pass Amendment 3, which was meant to overturn the state's near-total abortion ban and codify the right to abortion until fetal viability in the state constitution.

We planned to work for a few years, then start a family. And we did. It was a gigantic change to plan how many children to have. Today, you can get birth control pills over the counter. Trust Women has been the motto of Planned Parenthood, and I volunteered with them for more than 20 years. But today, women are still fighting to retain contraceptive rights.

The government's removal of Medicaid funding has led to five Planned Parenthood clinics in California closing due to unsustainable financial strains, impacting low-income women's healthcare access.

We really feel like we are in the fight of our life," said Stacy Cross, president and CEO Planned Parenthood Mar Monte. The organization is closing five health centers and cutting crucial services, impacting over 22,000 low-income patients.

In voting for the bill, Sen. Lisa Murkowski expressed that it was 'agonizing' and that she 'struggled mightily', despite claiming to support pro-choice policies.

The Trump administration has made repeated cuts targeting Planned Parenthood's clinics, excluding the group from the vast Title X family planning program.

Moderate Republicans in the House are lobbying to protect federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which poses a challenge to anti-abortion advocates seeking funding bans.

Planned Parenthood Arizona reinstated gender affirming care after a brief pause, ensuring continued access amidst concerns over federal guidelines affecting Medicaid services.

The breach involved malicious actors accessing and removing files from the LSC network, potentially compromising a significant range of personal and clinical information.
