LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a coalition of 22 states in suing the Trump administration over its cuts to Planned Parenthood.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump earlier this month includes a provision that blocks Medicaid reimbursements for services at Planned Parenthood centers.

“Planned Parenthood clinics are a critical part of Michigan’s healthcare system, delivering vital services to communities across the state,” Nessel said in a press release. “The Trump Administration’s push to strip funding from these providers is an unlawful political tactic aimed at undermining care, even in states like Michigan, where the right to reproductive freedom is protected by our constitution. I remain committed to standing up for Michiganders’ ability to access the healthcare they need from the providers they trust.”

The coalition claimed the provision will “increase health risks, including delayed diagnoses of STIs and cancer and increased unintended pregnancies.”

According to Planned Parenthood’s 2023-2024 report, STI testing and treatment decreased by 11%, while the number of abortions increased by 2.5% as centers performed over 400,000 abortions.

Currently, there are 10 Planned Parenthood centers in Michigan.
